i want to fetch data from my database which is linked to the website,i have created a search box,whenever i enter a particular value in search box,it should display all the related content from the database.i have done the following code,it is not fetching the data from the database,it just shows a blank screen.
<?php
define('db_name','njgh');
define('db_user','root');
define('db_password','');
define('db_host','localhost');
session_start();
$link=mysql_connect(db_host,db_user,db_password);
if(!$link)
{
die('couldnot connetc:'.mysql_error());
}
$db_selected=mysql_select_db(db_name,$link);
if(!$db_selected)
{
die('cant connect to db');
}
function clean($str) {
$str = @trim($str);
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$str = stripslashes($str);
}
return mysql_real_escape_string($str);
}
$value = clean($_POST['searchtext']);
$qry = "SELECT * FROM database WHERE Site_ID = '$value'";
$result = mysql_query($qry);
print_r($result);
mysql_query function return resource ID not your data , use mysql_fetch_array, mysql_fetch_object to get data
$value = ($_POST['searchtext']);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM database WHERE Site_ID = '$value'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
printf("ID: %s Name: %s", $row[0], $row[1]);
}
mysql_* has been removed entirely as of PHP 7.0. Prevent SQL injection and use the mysqli statement class.
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "njgh";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$value = $_POST['searchtext'];
/* create a prepared statement */
if($stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM database WHERE Site_ID =?")) {
/* bind parameters for markers */
$stmt->bind_param("s", $value);
/* execute query */
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
if($result->num_rows > 0) {
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo $row['db_table_field_name'];
}
//or
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
print_r($row);
} else {
}
/* close statement */
$stmt->close();
}
/* close connection */
$con->close();

The original MySQL extension is now deprecated, and will generate E_DEPRECATED errors when connecting to a database. Instead, use the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extensions. Hope this will work for you......
<?php
define('db_name','sports');
define('db_user','root');

if(!$link)
{
die('couldnot connect:'.mysql_error());
}
function clean($str) {
$link=mysqli_connect(db_host,db_user,db_password,db_name);
