} 


?>

<div class="center_div">
<table>
<caption>Search Results</caption>
    <?php while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($result)) { ?>
        <tr>
            <td style="text-align:right; font-size:15px;"><?php h($row['cArabic']) ?></td>
            <td style="font-size:16px;"><?php h($row['cQuotes']) ?></td>
