Here is the screenshot when i run the application ..

Answer 1

Pass connection to user defined function getrecords

Take one more parameter in function definition.

function getrecords($exePro,$msg,$con){
//Code.....
}

When you call getrecords

getrecodes ($somedata,$somemsg,$con);

When you call your custom function it's get connection from connection.php and pass it to custom function as argument, so you can use $con on it.

Answer 2

try this

function getrecords($exePro,$msg)
{
    global $con;

//...
}
