sorry wrong db

[Barand]

I suggest you re-read the manual on prepared statements - in particular the use of placeholders for the parameters

[pheidole]

ill try to find POP examples on prepared statements... nevermind    ....... i just looked at first bit of code sorry

 

 

 

 

[Barand]

there are examples on the page I linked you to

[pheidole]

i edited the post. I found them , thanks

A couple of other points

• Do not use select *. Specify the columns you need.
• You are trying to echo $row['name']. The column names in the results of that query are "id" and "state" (a mistake that might have been avoided had you not used "*" in the select)
• Don't use $_REQUEST. Use $_POST or $_GET - whichever is applicable.

 I changed all to $_GET since its not requesting anything that needs hidden

Also may i ask whats wrong with $_REQUEST

bottom variable look usable ?

$sql = "SELECT state FROM loc WHERE state LIKE '%$name%'";

[Barand]

You still are not using a placeholder (?)

ha, 

$.get("search1.php", {term: inputVal}).done(function(data){   was $.get("search.php", {term: inputVal}).done(function(data){

 

so it kept going to new search bar on that page that looked the same

thanks
