Try below code.
But why r u fetching all data from tbl_author table?
There should be some mapping between tbl_upload and tbl_author.

<html>
<body>
<form method=post action="find.php">
	<h2>Search For:</h2>
	<p> Academic Year :
		<input type=text name=search size=9 maxlength=9>
	<p>
		<input type=submit name=submit value=List>
		<input type=reset name=clear value=cancel>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	include 'conn.php';
	
	$search=$_POST['search'];
	$sy=explode('-',$search);
	
	
	$result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM `tbl_upload` WHERE (`year` >= $sy[0] AND `year` <= $sy[1])");
	echo '<h2>Result</h2>';
	if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) 
	{ 
		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
		{
	
			  echo "<b>Title:</b>"; 
			  echo '<a href="">'.$row["title"].'</a>'; 
			  echo "<br>";
	
			  $result2 = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM `tbl_author`");
			  if ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2)) 
			  {
			  		echo "<b>Author:</b>"; 
					echo $row2["author"]; 
					echo "<p>";
			  }
		}						
	} 
	else 
	{
		echo 'Sorry, no records were found!';
	}   

}

mapping? how is that?

Member Avatar for slap01

i mean my fields in tbl_upload is id,title,date,image and in my tbl_author is just id and author. just try your code but it also did the same, no author is displayed

Member Avatar for vibhaJ

mapping means relation.
e.g.
tbl_upload => id,title,date,image, author_id
tbl_author => id, author

Here author_id from tbl_upload is foreign key from tbl_author's id.

Even above code should display authors.
check SELECT * FROM `tbl_author` query with phpmyadmin. Is table have any records?

i check it and it has records of author, but cant really display the authors name
