php - mysqli_query returns unexpected output

I am a beginner programmer and am having a little trouble getting information from phpmyadmin through mysqli_query. I first connect to the database and then attempt to get the information from the table cbo which is inside the database. I then print out what results from the query which is not the information from the table. instead this is what I get.

mysqli_result Object
(
[current_field] => 0
[field_count] => 8
[lengths] =>

[num_rows] => 12
[type] => 0
)

here is the code I am using. dump just echos the variable.

    $con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "harvard", "cbo projections");
    if ( mysqli_connect_errno() ) {
        echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();

    }
    $result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM cbo");
    dump( $result );
?>

thanks for the help.

Answer

$result is just a resource that contains the resultset. You have to fetch data from it. Read mysqli_fetch_assoc or mysqli_fetch_array

EXAMPLE:

if ($result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) {
    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        //Display fields here according to your table structure
    }
    mysqli_free_result($result);
}

EDIT

Yes, why not : You could do something like

    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        $records[]=$row;
    }

This will create an array named records which will contain all your fetched rows and then you can later access that array and process accordingly
