Dropdown list not populating from database
Question
I seem to be having an issue. I have an input field and a <select> field. I need to type in a location in the input field and if that word matches a record in my database then it should the names of the people in my <select> drop down list. Here is my index.php file:
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<body>
<input type="text" name="location_input" id="location_input">
Tutor:<select name="locations" id="locations">
<script>
$("#location_input").keyup(function(){
const location = $("#location_input").val();
$("#locations").html(''); //reset dropdown
// do ajax call to get locations
$.ajax({
url: 'search.php', //replace this with your route of the search function
data: {location}, //pass location as body data
dataType: 'json', //expect a json response back
success: function(data) {
data.forEach(function(el) { //loop over the json response
let option = `<option id=${el.id} value=${el.name}>${el.name}</option>`
$("#locations").append(option); //append locations to select dropdown
});
},
error: function(err) { //error functions
console.log(err);
alert("Error")
}
});
});
</script>
</select>
</body>
</html>
and here is my search.php file:
<?php
function SearchLocations() {
$conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'tutors') or die ('Cannot connect to db');
$result = $conn->query("select * from tutor_location where Location_tags LIKE ='%". $_GET['location']."%'");
$locations = [];
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$locations[] = $row;
}
return json_encode($locations);
}
?>
And here is a screenshot of my database: The issue which I am facing is that it gives me a
localhost says error and the console doesn't show me an error.

You can try ajax like below request,
$.ajax({ type:"POST", dataType:"json", url: 'search.php', data: {order_numbers: values, order_state: status}, success: function(response){ }, error: function(response){} });
