<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("", "", "");
if (!$conn) {
echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
{
$search = "%" . $_POST["search"] . "%";
$searchterm = "%" . $_POST["searchterm"] . "%";
}
if (!mysql_select_db("")) {
echo "Unable to select mydbname: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
$sql = "SELECT name,lastname,email
FROM test_mysql
WHERE name LIKE '$search%' AND lastname LIKE '$searchterm'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting";
exit;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row["name"];
echo $row["lastname"];
echo $row["email"];
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>
<?php echo $row["name"];?>
<br>
<?php echo $row["lastname"];?>
<br>
<?php echo $row["email"];?>

I think you mean something like this:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo '<div class="data">';
echo '<label>' . $row["name"] . '</label>';
echo '<label>' . $row["lastname"] . '</label>';
echo '<label>' . $row["email"] . '</label>';
echo '</div>';
}
Anyway I don't understand the need to have this:
<?php echo $row["name"];?>
<br>
<?php echo $row["lastname"];?>
<br>
<?php echo $row["email"];?>
which will never echo nothing (will always echo the empty string) because when the script reaches this code, $row = false.
