            }
            return $data;
}

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'desc ) AGAINST ('yahoo') LIMIT 10 OFFSET 0' at line 1

Answer 1

desc is a reserved word. Add ` to desc:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM tutorials WHERE  MATCH ( title, `desc` ) AGAINST (?) LIMIT ? OFFSET ?";
