Search script problem



Hi.

I am having problems with a script I wrote which searches keywords
from a field in a mysql db table.

It is a very simple, one-page script. My site is a toplist, very
basic, still in it's infancy. When I go to the page, key in the
keywords and press submit, the head, body etc. part of the result
script is shown, but no results.
, although there are rows in my database containing the `keyword` field data.

Below is the script, please see if you find any errors, it could be
that I just made a stupid mistake.

<?php

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>";
echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN\"
\"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd\";>";
echo "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\";>";

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

$pwd = $_GET["pwd"];
$uid = $_GET["uid"];
$action = $_GET["action"];
$cid = $_GET["cid"];
$sid = $_GET["sid"];
$var = $_GET["q"];

include ("function.php");
include ("config.php");
connect($dbserver,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpass);

Like I said, very basic. I know there must be a screw-up somewhere but
I can't seem to find it.

Thanks
