Answer 1

In mysql, we used mysql_real_escape_string because you couldn't prepare statement.

Now with mysqli, you have the ability to prepare statements which is the preferred way.

connect_errno) {
    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $mysqli->connect_errno . ") ";
}

$query = "SELECT * FROM searchengine WHERE pagecontent LIKE ? LIMIT 0,?";
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query);

if (!$stmt) {
    echo "Prepare failed: (" . $mysqli->errno . ") " . $mysqli->error;
}
$term = '%'.$_GET['term'].'%';
$result = $_GET['results'];

$stmt->bind_param("si", $term, $result);

$stmt->execute();

while ($ser = $stmt->fetch_assoc()) {
    echo "
".$ser['pageurl']."
";
}


$mysqli->close();
?>
