article_id title description url keywords

@andyy121

You really need to learn how to connected to the database.

I'm bit tired reading this code. If you keep posting the same the code most likely no one will help you. You have to pay attention what other member give you suggestion and advice. It seems you just ignore everyone's suggestion and advice. Noone is gonna help you if you don't give any effort. I feel you are not trying enough, you are just waiting for answers.

You need to understand and learn how to "Select" from database. An another thing I notice is this your code that you wrote or someone else's code that you are using and trying to figure it out?

I guess English is not your first language. My advice right now learn:

http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_connect.asp

and this:

http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_select.asp

Good Luck, I don't know what else to say.

Hi. your 'db.inc.php' only needs the php block in it. It doesn't need all the html in there.
So all that should be in that file is:

<?php
    $connect = mysql_connect ('localhost','root','') or die("Error connecting to  SQL");
    mysql_select_db('searchengine') or die("Error selecting database");
?>

*Note i have also added a space between your closing bracket ")" and the "or" statments.

Other than that. are you getting any specific errors when you run it in the browser. If so post the error.

Notice: Undefined variable: reult in C:\xampp\htdocs\search\func.inc.php on line 37

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in C:\xampp\htdocs\search\func.inc.php on line 37
Your search for facebook returned no results

on your mysql_fetch_assoc,(Line 35 above) you have spelt $results as $reults. (you missed an 's' out. that would explain both the warning and the notice.

And that is how you treat people who try and help. Mate you are a sad person. Shooting people down that try and help. Good luck with your coding issues and trying to get help from people.

LastMitch: I agree

@andyy121

Arguments with other members aside, did correcting the spelling mistake solve the issue?

P.S remember. People who post answers on here are usually IT proffesionals that would normally charge a small fortune for the type of consultancy provided in here. yet they do it here for free. This can sometimes be a bit of trial and error which means people will sometimes give the wrong answer but not intentionally.
