I already have a database in phpMyAdmin and need to create an html/php "SEARCH" page to retrieve the information from the database on to my localhost. Please post a php/html code that will create a search page and return the data from my phpmyadmin database. The 3 items I have on the database are first_name, last_name and birth_day.
<?php
$db_hostname = 'localhost';
$db_username = 'demo';
$db_password = 'demo';
$db_database = 'demo';
// Database Connection String
$con = mysql_connect($db_hostname,$db_username,$db_password);
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db($db_database, $con);
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<title></title>

<body>
<form action="" method="post">
Search: <input type="text" name="term" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php
$sql = 'SELECT first_name, last_name, birth_day FROM STUDENT'; /* Here you use your table name instead "STUDENT"*/
mysql_select_db('test_db');
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
if(! $retval ) {
die('Could not get data: ' . mysql_error());
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($retval, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "First Name :{$row['first_name']} <br> ".
"Last Name : {$row['last_name']} <br> ".
"Date Of Birth: {$row['birth_day']} <br> ".
"--------------------------------<br>";
}
echo "Fetched data successfully\n";
mysql_close($conn);
?>
?>
</body>
</html>
