actually working only last onewhile($items = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
while($items = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query)){

and when I setup while($items = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query)){
while($items = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){

Then last one

    So let's go through this.

    kumerbakul if(ISSET($_GET['search'])){

    if(ISSET($_GET['search'])){
    $keyword = $_GET['title'];
    $query = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE `title` LIKE '%$keyword%' OR `company` LIKE '%$keyword%' OR `category` LIKE '%$keyword%' OR `description` LIKE '%$keyword%' OR `time` LIKE '%$keyword%' ORDER BY id DESC") or die(mysqli_error());
                
    if(ISSET($_GET['search'])){
     $word = $_GET['location'];
     $query = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE `city` LIKE '%$word%' OR `state` LIKE '%$word%' OR `address` LIKE '%$word%' OR `country` LIKE '%$word%'OR `job` LIKE '%$word%' ORDER BY id DESC") or die(mysqli_error());
    
    while($items = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query)){
    if(isset($_GET['search'])) {

    If the search field is set then:

     $keyword = $_GET['title'];

    Get the title field and put it in $keyword. Then

    $query = mysqli_query($conn, ...) or die(...);

    Do a query. Then

    if(isset($_GET['search'])) {

    If the search field is set (and we know it is because we just checked and never finished that part of the code) then:

     $word = $_GET['location'];

    Get the location field and put it in $word. Then

    $query = mysqli_query($conn, ...) or die(...);

    Do a second query. Then

    while($items = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query)){

    Go through the results of the last query made.

    You're not seeing the logical failure here? You make two queries but you are only fetching results from one of them.

      Trying to D.R.Y. things up a bunch, but totally untested, so buyer beware:

      <?php
      include 'config.php';
      if(isset($_GET['search'])) {
        $wheres = [];
        foreach(['title', 'location'] as $search) {
          if($value = safe_value($conn, $seardh)) { // something was entered for that search
            foreach(['title', 'company', 'category', 'description', 'time'] as $column) {
              $wheres[] = "`$column` LIKE '%$value%'";
            }
          }
        }
        if(count($wheres)) { // at least one of the search fields was set
          $sql = "SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE\n".implode(" OR\n", $wheres)."\nORDER BY id DESC";
      
          // uncomment the following if you want to debug the query:
          // die("<pre>$sql</pre>");
      
          $query = mysqli_query($conn, $sql) or die(mysqli_error());
          while($items = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query)) {
            // do stuff with result
          }
        } else {
          // whatever you want to do if neither search field was supplied
        }
      }
      
      function safe_value(mysqli $conn, string $name) {
        if(!isset($_GET[$name]) or trim($_GET[$name]) === '') {
          return false;
        }
        // might want to add strtolower() or strtupper to this?
        return mysqli_escape_string($conn, trim($_GET[$name]));
      }

      If you want to force the search term to lower-case, for example, change the last line of that function to:

        return mysqli_escape_string($conn, strtolower(trim($_GET[$name])));

      (I need one of those "buy me a coffee" links or something. 🙂)

      It's difficult to assess from your code whether you understands HTML.

      Where is your form tag?

      Here is an example of what I think you are tyrying to do.
      The form passes control to an action url adminpage.php which displays the inputs

      <?php
      session_start();
      date_default_timezone_set("Europe/London");
      ?>

      I suggest you master this task first and then add your database access code and work on that.

        Sorry for disturb you. I have a problem when insert pagination. below the error

        Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function safe_value() in

        5 days later

        All that tells me is that somewhere you are trying to call that function in a context where it is not defined; so either you need to define it in that context, or add it to some file that gets included wherever you might need it, or...?

          kumerbakul
          I think the error might be misleading.

          The line

          if($value = safe_value($conn, $seardh))
          

          is an assignment.

          I believe the code is supposed to be a comparison and so should use the == operator

          if($value == safe_value($conn, $seardh))
          

          Try that.

          RayPooley think the error might be misleading.

          The line
          if($value = safe_value($conn, $seardh))

          is an assignment.

          I believe the code is supposed to be a comparison and so should use the == operator

          if($value == safe_value($conn, $seardh))

          Try that.

          That wouldn't make a difference. The value of the assignment is still either whatever safe_value() returns, so the if() statement still takes the same branch. The only difference is that $value is also assigned the same value, which is a good thing, since it is then used later in the then branch.

          Using == wouldn't fix anything because now you're comparing the return value of safe_value() with the value of a variable that doesn't even have a value yet. (You'd get an Undefined variable warning, and take the "safe value" branch only in the situation when safe_value() returns false.)

          And, of course, it wouldn't fix the reported problem that the safe_value function wasn't even found in the first place.

          I do notice another bug, though: safe_value() will return a falsy value if $_GET[$name] is '0'. It may not be relevant in this instance (what does the "time" column contain if time LIKE '%$value%' is useful?) but since we're retrieving every record that contains a 1 in the description it would be churlish to not be doing the same for 0. I think the return value should be checked more carefully:

          if(($value = safe_value($conn, $search)) !== false)

          or even separate testing-for-content and escaping-for-query into two separate functions.

          But yes, like @NogDog says, if your pagination thing is on a different page then you'll need to get the function there as well, preferably by putting it another file and including it on every page you need it. If that's not what you're doing you'll need to explain what you are doing.

          I'm talking about logic.

          If the code is performing an assignment when it should be performing a comparison
          then the outcome may well be unpredictable.

          This is clearly questionable and therefore warrants attention.

          if($value = safe_value($conn, $seardh)){
          

          Because the next step in the process depends on the outcome of that statement ie: true or false.

          A statement of the nature

          
          if ($x = 88){
              echo "true";
          } else {
              echo "false";
          }
          

          is ALWAYS going to evaluate TRUE and therefore the code in the first curly brackets in this case

               foreach(['title', 'company', 'category', 'description', 'time'] as $column) {
                  $wheres[] = "`$column` LIKE '%$value%'";
                }
          

          is always going to be executed whether it's logically appropriate or not.

          A statement of the nature

          
          if ($x == 88){
              echo "true";
          } else {
              echo "false";
          }
          

          will evaluate TRUE OR FALSE depending on whether $x has a value 88 and therefore the code in the
          first curly brackets in this case

               foreach(['title', 'company', 'category', 'description', 'time'] as $column) {
                  $wheres[] = "`$column` LIKE '%$value%'";
                }
          

          may be executed or it may not depending on the value of $x.

          The fact that this block of code is encapsulated within an IF statement suggests that it should only
          be executed conditionally.

          If this code needs to be executed UNCONDITIONALLY then there's actually no logical reason in having
          it subject to an IF condition at all.

          RayPooley If you look at the definition of the safe_value() function you'll see it can return a string and it can also return false. If it returns false the second branch will be taken and the contents of $value (which would be false per the assignment) is ignored. If it returns a non-false value that value will be assigned to $value and the first branch taken, where $value is used.

          Notice that $value doesn't get assigned a value otherwise, so trying to compare its value to any other would be a mistake.

          In addition to my previous.
          Try moving the safe_value() function definition up to the top of the program.
          Like this..

          <?php
          include 'config.php';
          
          function safe_value(mysqli $conn, string $name) {
            if(!isset($_GET[$name]) or trim($_GET[$name]) === '') {
              return false;
            }
            // might want to add strtolower() or strtupper to this?
            return mysqli_escape_string($conn, trim($_GET[$name]));
          }
          
          if(isset($_GET['search'])) {
            $wheres = [];
            foreach(['title', 'location'] as $search) {
              if($value == safe_value($conn, $seardh)) { // something was entered for that search
                foreach(['title', 'company', 'category', 'description', 'time'] as $column) {
                  $wheres[] = "`$column` LIKE '%$value%'";
                }
              }
            }
            if(count($wheres)) { // at least one of the search fields was set
              $sql = "SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE\n".implode(" OR\n", $wheres)."\nORDER BY id DESC";
          
          // uncomment the following if you want to debug the query:
          // die("<pre>$sql</pre>");
          
          $query = mysqli_query($conn, $sql) or die(mysqli_error());
          while($items = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query)) {
            // do stuff with result
          }
            } else {
              // whatever you want to do if neither search field was supplied
            }
          
          ?>

            You don't get what I am saying here.

            I am talking about the statement ...

            if($value = safe_value($conn, $seardh)) {
            

            The IF statement is a CONDITIONAL statement.

            It requires a COMPARISON expression that evaluates to a boolean value.

            A boolean has two and only two possible values. true or false.

            A COMPARISON expression contains COMPARISON operators.

            == Equal $x == $y Returns true if $x is equal to $y
            === Identical $x === $y Returns true if $x is equal to $y, and they are of the same type
            != Not equal $x != $y Returns true if $x is not equal to $y
            <> Not equal $x <> $y Returns true if $x is not equal to $y
            !== Not identical $x !== $y Returns true if $x is not equal to $y, or they are not of the same type

            Greater than $x > $y Returns true if $x is greater than $y
            < Less than $x < $y Returns true if $x is less than $y
            = Greater than or equal to $x >= $y Returns true if $x is greater than or equal to $y
            <= Less than or equal to $x <= $y Returns true if $x is less than or equal to $y
            <=>

            Note that the "=" operator IS NOT IN the COMPARISON operators list.

            That's because it is an ASSIGNMENT operator

            x = y x = y The left operand gets set to the value of the expression on the right
            x += y x = x + y Addition
            x -= y x = x - y Subtraction
            x *= y x = x * y Multiplication
            x /= y x = x / y Division
            x %= y x = x % y Modulus

            Note that the "=" operator IS IN the ASSIGNMENT operators list.

            An ASSIGNMENT returns only ONE value if tested. That would be TRUE. As I demonstrated
            in a previous post. An ASSIGNMENT does not return FALSE. It may return an error code
            if the data types of the operands are incompatible in a heavily typed environment in which
            case the program would abend. But an ASSIGNMENT doesn't return FALSE if the statement
            is valid.

            The code ...

            if($value = safe_value($conn, $seardh)) {
            

            is not a legitimate IF statement.

            It doesn't matter what the safe_value() function does. It doesn't matter what the operands
            are. It is an ASSIGNMENT expression. Not a COMPARISON expression which is the type of statement
            the IF statement requires.

            The safe_value() function or what it does is irrelevant. By the way, a function shouldn't be
            returning different data types (string or boolean). It should only return one data type.

            RayPooley
            You don't get what I'm saying.
            The if statement requires an expression that evaluates to a boolean (and if it doesn't get a boolean, it coerces what it does get into one). It does not care if that expression is a comparison or not.

            https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.if.php

            The simplest yet most accurate way to define an expression is "anything that has a value".
            https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.expressions.php

            RayPooley An ASSIGNMENT returns only ONE value if tested. That would be TRUE.

            No, it does not. It returns the value that was evaluated on the right-hand side.

            The value of an assignment expression is the value assigned. That is, the value of "$a = 3" is 3.
            https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.assignment.php

            RayPooley The safe_value() function or what it does is irrelevant. By the way, a function shouldn't be
            returning different data types (string or boolean). It should only return one data type.

            Frankly, I agree, but it is a common idiom in PHP with many of its inbuilt functions doing exactly that.

            I'm wasting my time here.

            Here's a challenge.

            See if you can get this IF statement to return false.
            Only two rules.
            You can change the initial value of $x.
            You can change the assigned value of $x in the IF expression.

            $x = 8;
            
            if ($x = 88){
                echo "true";
            }
                else
            {
                echo "false";
            }
            

            then try this one ..

            $x = 8;
            
            if ($x == 88){
                echo "true";
            }
                else
            {
                echo "false";
            }
            

            RayPooley See if you can get this IF statement to return false.

            More to the point:

            $ php -a
            Interactive shell
            
            php > $tests = [true, false, 1, 0, 'something', ''];
            php > foreach($tests as $test) {
            php {   if($var = $test) {
            php {     echo "'true' returned for '$test'\n";
            php {   } else {
            php {     echo "'false' returned for '$test'\n";
            php {   }
            php { }
            'true' returned for '1'    // "...for'1'" because we're type-casting a Boolean to a string
            'false' returned for ''    // ditto
            'true' returned for '1'
            'false' returned for '0'
            'true' returned for 'something'
            'false' returned for ''
            php >
            

            That being said, the above is assuming loose-typing is okay in this case. If not, then you may have to do something more specific, such as to test explicitly for an empty string if that's what you care about. In that case you can do both an assignment and a comparison if you want, rather than doing the assignment in a separate line and then your if statement -- whichever style you prefer.

            php > $tests = ['good', ' also okay ', '     ', ''];
            php > foreach($tests as $test) {
            php {   if(($var = trim($test)) === '') {
            php {     echo "'$test' is empty\n";
            php {   } else {
            php {     echo "'$test' is not empty\n";
            php {   }
            php { }
            'good' is not empty
            ' also okay ' is not empty
            '     ' is empty
            '' is empty
            php >

            Not sure what point you are making but it remains the same.
            ASSIGNMENT vs COMPARISON.
            The assignment expression only ever evaluates to true.
            The comparison expression evaluation depends on the comparison operator.
            Change the $test values and observer the results.

            $var = 10;
            $test = 10;
            
            if($var = $test) {
                echo "true\n";
            } else {
                echo "false\n";
            }
            
            $var = 10;
            $test = 10;
            
            if($var == $test){
                echo "true\n";
            } else {
                echo "false\n";
            }
            
            

            Again,

            if ($x = $y) {}
            

            only ever results in true.

            Which goes to my main point.
            There is no point using an assignment in an IF statement.
            Because the whole point of an IF statement is to decide which branch to take in a program.
            That requires at least two outcomes from the evaluation of the expression.
            With an IF statement those two outcomes are either true or false.
            More branch options require a SWITCH statement.
            If the expression in the IF statement only produces one outcome then there's no point in using an IF statement.

            The code ..

            if($value = safe_value($conn, $seardh)) {
            

            is not a legitimate IF statement.

            RayPooley ...only ever results in true

            Change what you are assigning to the variable to be something that is "false-y", e.g. 0 instead of 8.

            $test = 0;
            if($var = $test) {
                echo "\$var is 'truth-y'\n";
            } else {
                echo "\$var is false-y\n";
            }
            

            This is basically the same as this example in the official PHP site's manual: https://www.php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.fetch.php#example-1079 where you can do a while() loop that evaluates an assignment -- not a comparison -- with the loop ending when no more rows are returned by the method call, which instead returns false at that point:

            <?php
            function readDataForwards($dbh) {
                $sql = 'SELECT hand, won, bet FROM mynumbers ORDER BY BET';
                $stmt = $dbh->prepare($sql, array(PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL));
                $stmt->execute();
                while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM, PDO::FETCH_ORI_NEXT)) {
                    $data = $row[0] . "\t" . $row[1] . "\t" . $row[2] . "\n";
                    print $data;
                }
            }

            I've been doing this sort of thing for both if() and while() structures for a couple decades now, and it continues to work fine for me, in spite of your assertion that it does not. 🤷🏼‍♂️
