How can the functionality of phpMyAdmin's search feature be replicated in a custom PHP search function?

To replicate the functionality of phpMyAdmin's search feature in a custom PHP search function, you can use SQL queries to search for specific data in your database. You can create a form where users can input their search query, and then use PHP to construct and execute the SQL query based on the user's input. 

<?php
// Connect to your database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Get the search query from the user
$search_query = $_POST['search_query'];

// Construct the SQL query
$sql = "SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE column_name LIKE '%$search_query%'";

// Execute the query
$result = $conn->query($sql);

// Display the results
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "ID: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["name"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "No results found";
}

// Close the connection
$conn->close();
?>
