Question

Answer 1

you can try it by creating a mysqli object like described here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.mysqli.php

or simply like this:

$db = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $database);

and then query it like this:

$result = $db->query('SQL HERE');

in your case the code for mysqli would look like this

$db = new mysqli("localhost","root","","searchengine");

$result = $db->query(sprintf(
  "SELECT * FROM searchengine WHERE pagecontent LIKE '%s' LIMIT 0,%d",
  '%'. mysqli_real_escape_string($_GET['term']) .'%',
  $_GET['results'])
);

while($ser = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
    echo "
$ser[pageurl]
";
}
