What suggestions were provided by other forum users to improve the PHP script?

The issue with the PHP script is that it is not properly sanitizing user input, leaving it vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. To solve this issue, it is recommended to use prepared statements with parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection. 

// Connect to the database
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database', 'username', 'password');

// Prepare a SQL query using a parameterized query
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = :username');

// Bind the parameter value
$stmt->bindParam(':username', $_POST['username']);

// Execute the query
$stmt->execute();

// Fetch the results
$results = $stmt->fetchAll();

// Process the results
foreach ($results as $row) {
    // Do something with the data
}
