PHP - Script To Check If A Game Server Is Online

Hello. I just inherited a game stats system but it's not working properly. I'm gonna post the entire script:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);

$times = Array();
 
$find_ip = $_GET["ip"];
$find_name = $_GET["nick"];
 
if(isset($_GET["format"]))
{
	$format = $_GET["format"];
}
else
{
	$format = "include";
}
 
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
if ($conn->connect_error)

The problem is that for some nicknames it returns a proper output which should look like this:

But sometimes it just returns lots and lots of data even if the nickname I ask for is unique enough:

Here's how the database looks:

I don't know what's wrong with the script because I'm a PHP beginner. If someone could take a look at it and tell me what's the issue I'd appreciate.
