      if (mysqli_connect_errno()){
          echo 'Cannot connect to database: ' . 
              mysqli_connect_error($conn);
      }
      else{
         //read keyword from user
         if(!empty($_POST["keyword"])){
            $keyword = $_POST["keyword"]; 
             // create prepared statement 
           if ($query = mysqli_prepare($conn,
          "SELECT FirstName, LastName, Age, Hometown, Job FROM people WHERE age <='" . $keyword ."' " )) {

       // bind parameters
       mysqli_stmt_bind_param ($query, "i", $keyword);
             
            //run the query and keep results in $result variable
            mysqli_stmt_execute($query);

            // bind variables to prepared statement 
            mysqli_stmt_bind_result($query, $FirstName, $LastName, $Age, $Hometown, $Job);

            // fetch values 
            while (mysqli_stmt_fetch($query)) {
                 echo "<strong>$LastName, $FirstName</strong> from $Hometown<br/>age: $Age, occupation: $Job <br/><br/>";

 if ($query = mysqli_prepare($conn,
          "SELECT FirstName, LastName, Age, Hometown, Job FROM people WHERE age

With prepared statements you don't stick the values right into the query. For mysqli substitute the variable with a question mark. No quotes, even for strings.

Speaking of quotes, don't use quotes for numbers. Prepared statement or not.

[code=php:0] if ($query = mysqli_prepare($conn,
          "SELECT FirstName, LastName, Age, Hometown, Job FROM people WHERE age
