I know little of PHP, but the top answer here might be of use. It's possible $dbcon has not been declared correctly. PHP and MYSQLI Error, Call to a member function query() on a non-object - Stack Overflow[^]

i have solved that isssue. now it is giving me a new error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_array() on a non-object on line 44
here is the line 44

while($row = $res->fetch_array())

Where is $res fetching an array from? Does fetch take a param?

It appears you are mixing MySql APIs and/or styles; which are incompatible with one another.

This is using the old mysql API: $dbcon=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
While this appears to be either mysqli or PDO while($row = $res->fetch_array())

I am a master of neither MySql nor PHP... so you may need to do some further research. I would recommend you review these links:
