How can PHP developers handle dynamic text content retrieved from a database when implementing search functionality?

When handling dynamic text content retrieved from a database for search functionality, PHP developers can use SQL queries with LIKE clauses to search for specific keywords within the text. This allows for flexible and efficient searching of text content stored in the database. 

// Assuming $keyword contains the search term input by the user
$keyword = $_GET['keyword'];

// Connect to the database
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// SQL query to retrieve text content containing the search term
$sql = "SELECT * FROM text_content_table WHERE text_content LIKE '%$keyword%'";

$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // Output data of each row
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "Text Content: " . $row["text_content"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "No results found";
}

$conn->close();
