/*if ($query === false) {
  error_log($connect->error);
  die("something failed.");
}*/

Make that work, try again, and check your error log.

 

As for the other error, that's something completely unrelated to the code you've shown.

It tells me that 

 

) Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\wamp64\www\employees_done\views\emp_search.php on line 41Call Stack#TimeMemoryFunctionLocation10.0016235768{main}( )...\index.php:020.0099274384Employee->loadViews( )...\index.php:830.0131285872require_once( p' )...\Employee.php:19

Well that doesn't make sense: presumably the error message is talking about

error_log($connect->error);

so $connect is the "non-object" mentioned. But if that were the case then

$query = $connect ->query($sql);

that line would have failed catastrophically and everything after wouldn't even happen.

 

Therefore there's a misunderstanding somewhere.

 

$connect = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','employees_assign');
echo "connect is ";
var_dump($connect);

What does that output? Then,

$query = $connect ->query($sql);
echo "query is ";
var_dump($query);

what about that?
