$conx = dbconnect();
$recentArray = Array();
$recent = recents() ;
$resultRecent = mysqli_query($conx, $recent);
$blogPost = Array();
while($rowRecent = mysqli_fetch_assoc($resultRecent)) {
    array_push($recentArray, $rowRecent);
};

//var_dump($recentArray);



$selectTitle = selectTitle();
//print_r($selectTitle);

$selectAuthor = selectAuthor();
$selectDate = selectDate();

$selectTitleArray = Array();
$selectAuthorArray = Array();

};

while($selectDateRow = mysqli_fetch_assoc($selectDateResult)) 
{
    array_push($selectDateArray, $selectDateRow);

//print_r($selectTitleArray);






if (isset($_GET['query']))

    $blog = modifiedQuery($_GET['query'],$_GET['value']);
}

elseif (isset($_GET['title']) || isset($_GET['author']) || isset($_GET['created']))

//print_r($blog);

$result = mysqli_query($conx, $blog);

//print_r($result);

while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) 
{
    array_push($blogPost, $row);
};



include 'templates/template.php';

the reason is dbconnect is in a class and you are trying to use a function inside a class i am sorry to say but that is not going to work — Eningly, Mar 05 '19 at 14:04

You need to create an instance of your connection class which you may then use to call its dbconnect function

$newcon = new connection();
$conx = $newcon->dbconnect();

There really is no point creating a local variable `$conx = (new connection)->dbconnect()` is enough. Just saying. OR you can add that function in and have it do the same, but with a return (obviously). – ArtisticPhoenix Mar 05 '19 at 14:15
True enough but if there are other functions `$newcon` could be useful. – Dave Mar 05 '19 at 14:16
