<?php

$conn = mysql_connect("", "", "");

if (!$conn) {
echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}

{

$search = "%" . $_POST["search"] . "%";
$searchterm = "%" . $_POST["searchterm"] . "%";

}

if (!mysql_select_db("")) {
echo "Unable to select mydbname: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}

$sql = "SELECT name,lastname,email 
FROM   test_mysql
WHERE  name LIKE '$search%' AND lastname LIKE '$searchterm'";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

if (!$result) {
echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting";
exit;
}


while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row["name"];
echo $row["lastname"];
echo $row["email"];
}

mysql_free_result($result);

?>

<?php echo $row["name"];?>
<br>
<?php echo $row["lastname"];?>
<br>
<?php echo $row["email"];?>

I think you mean something like this:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
   echo '<div class="data">';
   echo '<label>' . $row["name"] . '</label>';
   echo '<label>' . $row["lastname"] . '</label>';
   echo '<label>' . $row["email"] . '</label>';
   echo '</div>';
}

Anyway I don’t understand the need to have this:

<?php echo $row["name"];?>
<br>
<?php echo $row["lastname"];?>
<br>
<?php echo $row["email"];?>

which will never echo nothing (will always echo the empty string) because when the script reaches this code, $row = false.
