Question

I have a search form that would like the users to search multiple terms. I’m currently using PHP PDO and I’m still learning… I was wondering if someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong here.

    $varSearch = @$_GET['dms']; 
    $varTerm = explode(" ", $varSearch);
    $termArray = array();
    foreach($varTerm as $term){
        $term = trim($term);
        if(!empty($term)){
            $termArray[] = "name LIKE '%".$term."%' OR tags LIKE '%".$term."%'";
        }
    }
    $implode = implode(' OR ', $termArray);
    $sql = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM table WHERE ?");
    $sql->execute(array($implode));

If anyone else needs this answer too…

$varSearch = @$_GET['dms']; 
$varTerm = explode(" ", $varSearch);
$termArray = array();
foreach($varTerm as $term){
    $term = trim($term);
    if(!empty($term)){
        $termArray[] = "name LIKE :term OR tags LIKE :term";
    }
}
$implode = implode(' OR ', $termArray);
$sql = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM table WHERE ".$implode."");
$sql->execute(array(":term"=>"%".$term."%"));
