    if(isset($_POST['rollNo'])){
        $rollNo = $_POST['rollNo'];

        $query = "Select * from table where ROLL_NUMBER LIKE '$rollNo'";
        $select = mysqli_query($con, $query);

        printf(mysqli_query($con));
        while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($select)) {
            echo $row['FIRST_NAME'];
