Using a form with the GET function

Question

I am wondering if anyone can help I am trying to use a form with the get function, however not having much luck.

Here is my code

<div class="row-fluid search-forms search-default">
<form class="form-search" method="get" action="search_results.php">
<div class="chat-form">
<div class="input-cont">   
<input type="text"  placeholder="Search..." class="m-wrap" />
</div>
<button type="button" class="btn green">Search &nbsp; <i class="m-icon-swapright m-icon-white"></i></button>
</div>
</form>
</div>

The search is taking me to the right page but with nothing after ?q=

Any idea?

Answer 1

You haven't provided your input a name. So, it has nothing to add to the GET. add attribute name="" to the tag.

Answer 2

You have to add name="q":

<input type="text"  placeholder="Search..." name="q" class="m-wrap" />
