    Two problems: 

    1. you are sending the value as "GET" method `?n=` and accessing in the PHP code as `$_POST`
2. the passed variable is `n` and not `text`
3. error in mysql query

    Use the following PHP code:

    if(isset($_GETT['n'])){
   $s=$_GET['n'];

    $query="SELECT * FROM student WHERE name LIKE '$s%'";
    $result=mysql_query($query) or die ('Wrong query : ' . mysql_error() );
    $string='';
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
         $string.= $row['name'];
    }
      echo $string;
  }else{
     echo 'wrong GET keywoord';

}
