Can I mix MySQL APIs in PHP?

Closed 4 years ago.
The below query works fine whenever I try it in phpmyadmin:
SELECT CAST(DATETIME AS DATE), Provider, COUNT(Provider)
FROM purchases
GROUP BY CAST(DATETIME AS DATE), Provider
ORDER BY CAST(DATETIME AS DATE) DESC
Nevertheless I always received a boolean when I placed it inside my PHP script:
$sql="SELECT CAST(DATETIME AS DATE), Provider, COUNT(Provider)
FROM purchases
GROUP BY CAST(DATETIME AS DATE), Provider
ORDER BY CAST(DATETIME AS DATE) DESC";
if (mysqli_query($con,$sql))
{
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row['CAST(DATETIME AS DATE)'];
echo $row['Provider'];
echo $row['COUNT(Provider)'];
}
}
else
{
echo "Error creating table: " . mysqli_error($con);
}
mysqli_close($con)
;
I really would appreciate some advice about how to tackle this issue.

Answer 1

this code write like below so its work fine
you use mysqli in all query and check if $result has value than print record otherwise error message was print
$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
if($result)
{
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo $row['CAST(DATETIME AS DATE)'];
echo $row['Provider'];
echo $row['COUNT(Provider)'];
}
}
else
{
echo "Error creating table: " . mysqli_error($con);
}
mysqli_close($con)
