drop down list in html data from mysql using php

Question

I have a drop-down list in HTML, where the contents need to load from my MySQL DB using PHP.

I tried like the following; but no option is loading.

<strong> Select Data </strong> 
<select name="data1"> 
     <option value=""> NONE </option> 
<?php

$dd_res=mysql_query("Select relation FROM relation_names");
while($r=mysql_fetch_row($dd_res))
{ 
     echo "<option value='$r[0]'> $r[0] </option>";
}
?>
</select>

Also i tried like this:

$q="SELECT DISTINCT *relation FROM relation_names";
$rs=mysql_query($q);
if($rs && mysql_num_rows($rs))
{
    while($rd=mysql_fetch_object($rs))
    { 
        echo("<option value='$rd->id'>$rd->name</option>");
    }
}

But I don't know why these are not working, kindly help me.

i tried the code below as per comment. but option names are not diplaying.

Answer 1

Use mysqli_query() insted of mysql_query() . Because mysql_query() extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0.

<strong> Select Data </strong> 
<select name="data1"> 
    <option value=""> NONE </option> 
<?php
    // Mysql db connection
    $con=mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db");

    // Check connection
    if (mysqli_connect_errno())
    {
        echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
    }

    // Perform queries 
    $rs = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT DISTINCT relation FROM relation_names");
    if($rs && mysqli_num_rows($rs))
    {
         while($rd=mysqli_fetch_object($rs))
         { 
             echo("<option value='$rd->id'>$rd->name</option>");
         }
    }
    mysqli_close($con);
?>
</select>

Refer below mysqli extentions

mysqli_connect()

mysqli_connect_errno()

mysqli_connect_error()

mysqli_query()

mysqli_num_rows()

mysqli_fetch_object()

<strong> Select Data </strong> 
<select name="data1"> 
<option value=""> NONE </option> 
<?php
// Mysql db connection
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db");

// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}

// Perform queries 
$rs = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT DISTINCT relation FROM relation_names");
if($rs && mysqli_num_rows($rs))
{
     while($rd=mysqli_fetch_object($rs))
     { 
         echo("<option value='$rd->id'>$rd->relation</option>");
     }
}
mysqli_close($con);
?>
</select>
