I am trying to create a search function in PHP. I am using following functions:

In show.php:

<form class="form-inline" action="?controller=address&action=searchAll" method="post">

    <div class="form-group row">

        <div class="col-xs-4">

            <input class="form-control" id="terms" name="terms" type="text" placeholder="Search terms">

        </div>

    </div>

    <div class="form-group row">

        <div class="col-xs-4">

            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" ><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"> </span> Search</button>

        </div>

    </div>

</form>

This form sends a POST call to an controller: addressController.php

function searchAll(){

if (!empty($_POST['terms'])) {

        $terms=$_POST['terms'];

        $address=Address::searchByTerms($terms);

        $listaAddresses=$address;

        //var_dump($id);

        //die();

        require_once('Views/Address/show.php');

    } else {

        $listaAddresses=Address::all();



        require_once('Views/Address/show.php');

    }





}

And the controller should call the action searchByTerms to the model file Address.php and then open show.php again showing only the filtered items :

public static function searchByTerms($terms){

        $db=Db::getConnect();

        $select=$db->prepare('SELECT * FROM tb_direcciones   WHERE fn LIKE "%:fn%"');

        $select->bindValue('fn',$terms);

        $select->execute();



        $addressDb=$select->fetch();





        $address = new Address ($addressDb['id_address'],$addressDb['cia'], $addressDb['fn'], $addressDb['ln'], $addressDb['type'], $addressDb['phone'], $addressDb['fromto'], $addressDb['direccion'], $addressDb['latitud'], $addressDb['longitud']);

        //var_dump($address);

        //die();

        return $address;



    }

But something is wrong in my code then the error function is thrown.

$select->bindValue(1, "%$terms%", PDO::PARAM_STR);

is right but you must declare %$terms% out side bind Value

$terms= "%".$terms."%";

$select->bindValue(1, $terms, PDO::PARAM_STR);

I think your PDO::bindValue() function is wrong.

According th the PHP Documentation here:
http://php.net/manual/es/pdostatement.bindvalue.php, the bindValue function should take as the first argument the parameter name in the form

:name

Example:

bindValue (":name", $value, $data_type);

So maybe the code should be like:

$select=$db->prepare('SELECT * FROM tb_direcciones   WHERE fn LIKE "%:fn%"');



// here the right form

$select->bindValue(':fn', $terms, PDO::PARAM_STR);

Or if you want to use the index form with the question mark of the bindValue function, the solution could be on the form:

$select=$db->prepare('SELECT * FROM tb_direcciones   WHERE fn LIKE "%?%"');



// here the right form

$select->bindValue(1, $terms, PDO::PARAM_STR);
