Can't get data from MySQL - php

Question

I'm connected to phpmyadmin but I can not get any data from phpmyadmin.
my php version is 7.2.9 , I made everything that I wanted in database but php can't show the data in site ( I'm using localhost ).
here is the code:
<?php
$key = $_GET['key'];
$terms = explode(" ", $key);
$query = "SELECT * FORM search WHERE ";
foreach ($terms as $each){
$i++;
if($i == 1){
$query .= "keywords LIKE '%$each%' ";
} else{
$query .= "OR keywords LIKE '%$each%' ";
}
echo $query;
}
//connection
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
mysql_select_db('search');
$query = mysqli_query($query);
$numrows = mysqli_num_rows($query);
if($numrows > 0){
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
$id = $row['id'];
$title = $row['title'];
$description = $row['description'];
$keywords = $row['keywords'];
$link = $row['link'];
echo "<h2><a href='$link'>$title</h2></a>
$description<br /><br />";
}
}
else{
echo "No results found for \"<b>$key</b>\""; }
//disconnect
mysql_close();
?>

Answer 1

You have a couple of mistakes in your PHP/HTML. I'm gonna sum them up here so you can take a look at them:
<h2><a href='$link'>$title</h2></a>$description<br /><br /> This is wrong HTML. Close your a tag inside the h2.
You are connecting to you database through mysql, but querying through mysqli. Connect to your database with mysqli. Mysql_ family of functions have been removed in PHP 7
You have a typo in your query. you have written FORM instead of FROM.
You are exploding your $_GET variable on spaces. But i doubt if a $_GET variable has any spaces to begin with... Check if this is true.

Answer 2

first of all mysql_connect() is not anymore available after php 5. Instead of using mysql use mysqli_connect(). Please how to make connection and query database using php7 here.

If still you have problem. Ask for help in comments.
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FORM search WHERE ";
foreach ($terms as $each){
$i++;
if($i == 1){
$query .= "keywords LIKE '%$each%' ";
} else{
$query .= "OR keywords LIKE '%$each%' ";
}
echo $query;
}
//connection
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "","search");
if(!$conn)die("Connection Error");
$query = mysqli_query($conn,$query);
if(!query)die("query error");
$numrows = mysqli_num_rows($query);
if($numrows > 0){
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query)){
$id = $row['id'];
$title = $row['title'];
$description = $row['description'];
$keywords = $row['keywords'];
$link = $row['link'];
echo "<h2><a href='$link'>$title</h2></a>
$description<br /><br />";
}
}
else{
echo "No results found for \"<b>$key</b>\"";
}

You are mixing up mysqli and mysql. I have edited your stuff. Please try. Don't forget to fix the portion marked [missing]
<?php
$key = $_GET['key'];
$terms = explode(" ", $key);
foreach ($terms as $each){
$i++;
if($i == 1){
$query .= "keywords LIKE '%$each%' ";
} else{
$query .= " description OR keywords LIKE '%$each%' ";
}
echo $query;
}
//connection
$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "");
mysqli_select_db($conn, 'search');
if($result= mysqli_query($conn, $query)){
$numrows = mysqli_num_rows($result);
}
if($numrows > 0){
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
$id = $row['id'];
$title = $row['title'];
$description = $row['description'];
$keywords = $row['keywords'];
$link = $row['link'];
//echo "<h2><a href='$link'>$title</h2></a>
//$description<br /><br />";
echo '<h2><a href="' . $link . '">' . $title .
'</h2></a>' . $description . '<br /><br />';
}
}
else{
echo "No results found for \"<b>$key</b>\""; }
//disconnect
mysqli_close();
?>

Here's the Full working Example TESTED at my end (Last night I wasn't at my work machine and couldn't test the code.Later I created a small db and Tested it. I had searched with the dummy key 'ram mary albert' in my example
<?php
$key = $_GET['key'];
$terms = explode(" ", $key);
$qu1 = "SELECT * FROM search WHERE ";
$qu2 = "order by id ASC";
$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "");
mysqli_select_db($conn, 'search');
for($i=0; $i< count($terms); $i++){
$query = $qu1 . " keywords LIKE '%$terms[$i]%' " . $qu2;
echo( $query . "<br>" );
$resulter= mysqli_query($conn, $query);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($resulter)){;
$id = $row['id'];
$title = $row['title'];
$description = $row['description'];
$keywords = $row['keywords'];
$link = $row['link'];
$EscLink='\'' . $link . '\'';
echo ('<a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="alert(' .
$EscLink . ')">' . $title . '</a><br>' . $description .
'<br /><br />');
} // Close While
} // Close for
//disconnect
mysqli_close($conn);
?>
