HTML get method wont send data to PHP

Data inside my form will not send to search.php.

<form class="form-search" action="search.php" method="get">
    <input type="text">
    <button type="submit">Search</button>
</form>


// search.php
<h2>Searched <?php print $_GET['username']; ?>; Returned 5 Results from Query.</h2>

Notice: Undefined index: username in C:\xampp\htdocs\Web\Statistics\search.php on line 40

Therefore, the data was not set in $_GET.

your form should look like

 <form class="form-search" action="search.php" method="get">
      <fieldset>
      <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username" id="username" class="input-medium search-query">
      <button type="submit" id="srchUser" class="btn">Search</button>
      </fieldset>
  </form>

I've added to your input name="username" so it can send get variables to php by using the name attribute in input items

You need to add a name to the input 

<input type="text" name='username' placeholder="Username" id="username" class="input-medium search-query">

$_GET works based on the Input name not the ID. Name is passed when you press submit, ID just identifies the input on the page.

You need name="username" in addition to all of the other attributes you've specified.
