Answer 1

This is the way to do it simply

$searchSql = "SELECT * FROM countries WHERE name = ?";
$Connection = "your mysql connection" ; // ex: in CI : $this->db->conn_id
$stmt = $Connection->prepare($searchSql);
$stmt->bind_param("s", "name_for_search");
$ok = $stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
$data = $result->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);

Answer 2

To use PDO is apparently the best way to display data from MySQL database using OOP in PHP

$stmt = $Connection->prepare("SELECT * FROM countries WHERE name = ?");
$stmt->execute(["name_for_search"]);
$data = $stmt->fetchAll();
