I move code to index.php because I want it to be displayed in current divs.
When I did it this happened - code here:

PHP

<<?php session_start();
 // Check if the user is logged in, if not then redirect him to login page
 if(!isset($_SESSION["loggedin"]) || $_SESSION["loggedin"] !== true){
     header("location: login.php");
     exit;
     echo $username;
 } ?>
   <?php
    $searchtype=$_POST['searchtype'];
    $searchterm=trim($_POST['searchterm']);
    if(!$searchtype || !$searchterm) {
        echo '<p>Nezadali ste niektory z udajov pre vyhladavanie.<br>
        Vratte sa prosim spat a skuste to znovu!</p>';
        exit;
    }
    switch ($searchtype) {
        case 'author';
        case 'title';
        case 'isbn';
            break;
        default: echo '<p>Zadali ste neplatny typ hladania.<br>Vratte sa prosim spat a skuste to znovu.</p>';
        exit;
    }

    @$db = new mysqli('localhost:3306','root','','books');
    if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
        echo '<p>Chyba: Nepodarilo sa pripojit k databaze.<br>
        Kontaktujte prosim administratora.</p>';
        exit;
    }

    $query = "SELECT isbn, author, title FROM books WHERE $searchtype LIKE ?";
    $stmt = $db->prepare($query);
    $searchterm= '%'.$searchterm.'%';
    $stmt->bind_param('s',$searchterm);
    $stmt->execute();
    $stmt->store_result();
    
    $stmt->bind_result($isbn,$author,$title);
    echo "<p>Pocet najdenych knih: ".$stmt->num_rows."</p>";

    while($stmt->fetch()) {
        echo "<p>Nazov: ".$title."";
        echo "<br>Autor: ".$author;
        echo "<br>ISBN: ".$isbn;
    }

    $stmt->free_result();
    $db->close();
    ?>

</form>
</body>

Writes:

Warning: Undefined array key "searchtype" in D:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 9

Warning: Undefined array key "searchterm" in D:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 10

Please write info about what to do with PHP to have it on the same page.

What I have tried:

Move code from results.php to index.php.

It looks like the PHP code is trying to run as soon as the page gets loaded, rather than waiting for the form post. Check with the original code to see if you missed something.
