  1. Hello everyone, I begin in everything web related but I have been programming for years. I tried to code something simple : small Mysql DB (works fine) and to begin a search bar to browse data. I adapted a code that I understood provided here : https://www.cloudways.com/blog/live-search-php-mysql-ajax/. Base principle is simple : as you type in your query, it will pass the text to script.js that will forward this request to ajax.php file. In the ajax.php, a javascript function named “fill()” will pass the fetched results. This function will also display the result(s) into “display” div in the “search.php” file. The problem is that when I type anything it displays, below the search bar, at the moment I type a character: instead of the actual answer from my database (no error in the browser console). I tested the SQL query + the user I provide and everything seems fine. Any clue what could be the root cause ? I strongly suspect a mistake in the code as I already corrected one (script.js instead of scripts.js) but I really cannot figure out where. Thanks in advance, problematic code (ajax.php): <?php //Including Database configuration file. include "db.php"; //Getting value of "search" variable from "script.js". if (isset($_POST['search'])) { //Search box value assigning to $Name variable. $Name = $_POST['search']; //Search query. $Query = "SELECT Name FROM search WHERE Name LIKE '%$Name%' LIMIT 5"; //Query execution $ExecQuery = MySQLi_query($con, $Query); //Creating unordered list to display result. echo ' <ul> '; //Fetching result from database. while ($Result = MySQLi_fetch_array($ExecQuery)) { ?> <!-- Creating unordered list items. Calling javascript function named as "fill" found in "script.js" file. By passing fetched result as parameter. --> <li onclick='fill("<?php echo $Result['Name']; ?>")'> <a> <!-- Assigning searched result in "Search box" in "search.php" file. --> <?php echo $Result['Name']; ?> </li></a> <!-- Below php code is just for closing parenthesis. Don't be confused. --> <?php }} ?> </ul>
