You cannot simply add an 'i'. They are different functions. You need to actually learn about mysql (so you know what you have now) and mysqli (so you know what you need to have).

Hi there,

 

mysql_query is deprecated and it will be removed on future PHP versions. Use mysqli_query instead.

 

mysqli_query takes two parameters - the database connection and the actual query, therefore you have to include the database connection file in your code.

 

For example :

$dbCon = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "password", "database_name") or die(mysqli_error());

As you can see, I am storing the database connection in a variable.

 

To implement this into mysqli_query we now need to store the actual query in a variable (you could also write the full query as the second parameter but it will make your code less readable)

$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) as Num  FROM property  WHERE  $where "; 

Now to implement this with mysqli:

$query = mysqli_query($dbCon, $sql); 

For mysql_result you can use the below function which is basically a mysqli_result:

function mysqli_result($res,$row=0,$col=0) { 
    $numrows = mysqli_num_rows($res); 
    if ($numrows && $row <= ($numrows-1) && $row >=0) {
        mysqli_data_seek($res,$row);
        $resrow = (is_numeric($col)) ? mysqli_fetch_row($res) : mysqli_fetch_assoc($res);
        if (isset($resrow[$col])) {
            return $resrow[$col];
        }
    }
    return false;
}

After all this, your line should look like:

$total_results = mysqli_result($query, 0);

Hope this helps in a way or another.
