creating a filled drop down list from phpmyadmin - php

Question

I need to create a filled drop down list which is linked to my table called called 'dog' in phpmyadmin. I need a user to be able to select a dog from the list and press search and the results show up. And all information be stored in my table in phpmyadmin. This is what I have so far:
It doest work its just an empty drop down and it does nothing. Please help.
<?php
// set up connection parameters
$dbHost = 'hostnamegoeshere';
$databaseName = 'databasenamehere';
$username = 'usernamehere';
$password = 'passwordhere';
// make the database connection
$db = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbHost;dbname=$databaseName;charset=utf8","$username", "$password");
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); // enable error handling
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false); // turn off emulation mode
?>
//Return an error if bad connection
if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
die('Connect Error (' . $mysqli->connect_errno . ')'
.$mysqli->connect_error);
}
//query database for results
$query = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM 'dog'");
?>
<h3> Search dogs</h3>
<select>
<?php
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query);
$stmt->execute();
$res = $stmt->get_result();
while($dropdown = $res->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
echo '<option value="' . $dropdown['dog'] . '"></option>';} ?>
</select>
I will be very grateful for any help

Answer 1

USE THIS
$res = $stmt->get_result();
$res =$res->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)
foreach($res as $a){
echo '<option value="' . $a['dog'] . '">'. $a['dog'] .'</option>';} ?>
}
AT PLACE OF
$res = $stmt->get_result();
while($dropdown = $res->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
echo '<option value="' . $dropdown['dog'] . '"></option>';} ?>

Answer 2

Number of issues in your CODE
1) Wrap off quotes form table name(SELECT * FROM 'dog')quotes
2) Don't use prepare and query at one time.($mysqli->query,$mysqli->prepare)
3) Add text to your option(<option value="value"></option>)
4) You are mixing mysqli with pdo
You code would be
Create you connection with mysqli
$mysqli=mysqli_connect($dbHost,$username,$password,$databaseName);
if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
die('Connect Error (' . $mysqli->connect_errno . ')'
.$mysqli->connect_error);
}
<h3> Search dogs</h3>
<select>
<?php
$stmt = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM dog");// wrap off and use only query to run
$stmt->execute();
$res = $stmt->get_result();
while ($dropdown = $res->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
echo '<option value="' . $dropdown['dog'] . '">'.$dropdown['dog'].'</option>';// add text to dropdown
}
?>
</select>
