Old connection method mysql_connect
maybe deprecated from PHP7 so what is the best way to connect and query in mysql using XAMPP or how I implement PDO in my bellow script.
<?php
$key = $_GET['key'];
$array = array();
$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
$db = mysql_select_db("search", $con);
$query = mysql_query("select * from ajax_example where name LIKE '%{$key}%'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
$array[] = $row['name'];
}
echo json_encode($array);
?>
