Switching from Php5 to Php7, especially if you have worked on an ongoing, long term project, it is unfortunate that there is no mysqli_result function.
So, this may be helpfull and you can call this function as you wish. I assume you do restricted search (searching for single row or few rows only).
function mysqli_result($search, $row, $field){
$i=0; while($results=mysqli_fetch_array($search)){
if ($i==$row){$result=$results[$field];}
$i++;}
return $result;}
Simply;
$search=mysqli_query($connection, "select name from table_name where id='7'");
$name=mysqli_result($search, 0, "id");
Best wishes,
