How to use the oop in reading from mysql in mysql? - php

Question

I'm trying to read from mysql with php and with oop.How can use from propeties?
This is my class and search function for reading from the database:
<?php
require_once('dbconfig.php');
class Film {
public $name;
public $year;
public $country;
public $director;
private $conn;
public function __construct() {
$database = new Database();
$db = $database->dbConnection();
$this->conn = $db;
}
public function runQuery($sql) {
$stmt = $this->conn->prepare($sql);
return $stmt;
}
public function search($name,$year,$country,$director) {
try {
$stmt = $this->conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM table where name='$name' or year='$year' or country='$country' or director='$director'");
$stmt->execute();
$num_rows = $stmt->rowCount();
if ($num_rows > 0) {
echo "</br>".$num_rows." film is found. </br>";
echo "</br><table><tr><th>Name</th><th>Year</th><th>Country</th><th>durationMinutes</th><th>Director</th></tr>";
while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
echo "<tr><td>" . $row['name'] . "</td><td>" . $row['year'] . "</td><td>" . $row['country'] . "</td><td>" . $row['durationMinutes'] . "</td><td>" . $row['director'] . "</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
} else {
echo "Nothing found !";
}
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
}
}
I want search() is based on the object and properties.
How to change my code?

Answer 1

Did you mean you want to call that function?
just put this code wherever you wanna place it e.g in index.php.
$film->search($name,$year,$country,$director);
but you have to initial class film in your connection file like this
session_start();
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$pass = "";
$database="database";
try {
$con = new PDO ("mysql:host={$host}; dbname={$database}", $user, $pass);
$con->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
//$con->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT);
}
catch (PDOEXception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
include_once 'class_film.php';
$film= new Film($con);
