How do I run an sql query in php

0 votes

When I attempt to run my query, nothing happens (not NULL, just not printing a value). When I run my query against my database, the desired result is returned.

I am informed that the connection was successful when I execute my code. (I omitted my database variable information to safeguard the sensitive information, but it is accurate.)

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
    echo "error";
} 
else{
    echo "conn successful";
}


$sql = "SELECT app_ref_person_submitted_by
            FROM vacancy_applications
            WHERE app_ref_vacancy = 306";


$result = $conn->query($sql);
echo $result;

$conn-> close();

Can someone please help me with this?

Try this:

<?php
$conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'jaydeep_mor', 'jaydeep_mor', 'jaydeep_mor');

if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
    echo "error";
} 
else{
    echo "conn successful";
}
$sql = "SELECT app_ref_person_submitted_by
        FROM vacancy_applications
        WHERE app_ref_vacancy = 306";

$result = $conn->query($sql);

while($row = $result->fetch_array()){
    echo $row['app_ref_person_submitted_by'];
}

$conn-> close();
?>

I hope this helps you.
