I wrote the query system with android studio and PHP.
My PHP code is as follows.Opened with a web browser but an error occurred.The error message is as follows
Notice: Undefined index: searchQuery in C:\xampp\htdocs\client\beetle_search.php on line 5
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message
'SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an
error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your
MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'table 1 where
MATCH(name,scientific_name) AGAINST(NULL)' at line 1' in
C:\xampp\htdocs\client\beetle_search.php:9 Stack trace: #0
C:\xampp\htdocs\client\beetle_search.php(9): PDOStatement->execute()
1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\client\beetle_search.php on line 9
require_once('config.inc.php');
$search_query=$_POST['searchQuery'];
$sql = 'SELECT * from table 1 where MATCH(name,scientific_name) AGAINST(:search_query)';
$statement = $connection->prepare($sql);
$statement->bindParam(':search_query', $search_query, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$statement->execute();
if($statement->rowCount())
{
$row_all = $statement->fetchall(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($row_all);
}
elseif(!$statement->rowCount())
{
echo "no rows";
}
Where did you write it wrong? thanks

You should add a table name in your query. Update your query
from
$sql = 'SELECT * from table 1 where MATCH(name,scientific_name) AGAINST(:search_query)';
to
$sql = 'SELECT * from table_name where MATCH(name,scientific_name) AGAINST(:search_query)';
Also, in order to use MATCH function, you must have the full text index on the column. Otherwise, you will get an error Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list'. The solution of this problem is given below...
Assuming you are using MyISAM engine, Execute:
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD FULLTEXT(name);
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD FULLTEXT(scientific_name);
