fetch_array errors when querying data using mysqli_query - php

If I try to create a sql query such as this:
$sql2 = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT * FROM CHILD_IMG WHERE PROD_ID='$delID'") or die(mysqli_error());
$getQuery = $connection->query($sql2);
while($row = $getQuery->fetch_array()){
$childID = $row['ID'];
$parentID = $row['PROD_ID'];
$childName = '../ProductImages/ChildImages/'.$parentID . "_".$childID.".jpg";
unlink($childName);
}
I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_array() on null in
If I run and store the query to $sql like this:
$sql2 = ("SELECT * FROM CHILD_IMG WHERE PROD_ID = '$delID'") or die(mysqli_error());
$getQuery = $connection->query($sql2);
while($row = $getQuery->fetch_array()){
$childID = $row['ID'];
$parentID = $row['PROD_ID'];
$childName = '../ProductImages/ChildImages/'.$parentID . "_".$childID.".jpg";
unlink($childName);
}
The query run smoothly without any issues.
What is the problem why doesn't the first option works?

See this bit of code?
$sql2 = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT * FROM CHILD_IMG WHERE PROD_ID='$delID'") or die(mysqli_error());
^^^^^^^^^^^^
$getQuery = $connection->query($sql2);
^^^^^
You're actually querying twice, that's why you're getting the error.
Plus, the or die(mysqli_error()) belongs after the query call and it requires a db connection as the argument.
I.e.: or die(mysqli_error($connection)).
So you'd do the following to check if the query failed:
if(!$getQuery){
echo "Error: " . die(mysqli_error($connection));
}
Rewrite:
$sql2 = "SELECT * FROM CHILD_IMG WHERE PROD_ID='$delID'";
$getQuery = $connection->query($sql2);
while($row = $getQuery->fetch_array()){
$childID = $row['ID'];
$parentID = $row['PROD_ID'];
$childName = '../ProductImages/ChildImages/'.$parentID . "_".$childID.".jpg";
unlink($childName);
}
You're also open to an SQL injection; use a prepared statement.

How works php date BETWEEN

I have a query and works:
$sql2 = "SELECT id FROM table WHERE '2022-06-06' BETWEEN date(se_from) AND date(se_to)";
But when the date is dynamic the query fails:
$pick_date = '2022-06-06';
$sql2 = "SELECT id FROM tblseasons WHERE $pick_date BETWEEN date(se_from) AND date(se_to)";
Can't understand, can anyone explain.
Thanks
Your query lacks parentheses in the date (so it fails to do what you want as the query will be invalid)
For security, please use parameterized prepared statement to avoid SQL injection attacks instead
For mysqli, it will be:
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "user", "dbpass", "dbname1");
$pick_date = '2022-06-06';
$sql2 = "SELECT id FROM tblseasons WHERE ? BETWEEN date(se_from) AND date(se_to)";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql2);
$stmt->bind_param("s", $pick_date);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result(); // get the mysqli result
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo $row['id'] . "<br>"; // if you want to see the result;
}
For PDO, it will be
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=dbname1', "user", "dbpass");
$pick_date = '2022-06-06';
$string1 = "SELECT id FROM tblseasons WHERE :pick_date BETWEEN date(se_from) AND date(se_to)";
$stmt = $dbh->prepare($string1, array(PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL));
$stmt->execute([':pick_date' => $pick_date]);
while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
echo $row["id"] . "<br>"; // if you want to see the result;
}

Trying to get a result not displaying

I'm just trying to get something basic to appear for now and it's not working. It should display 1 on the screen. Is my logic wrong? I paste my statement in console and get 1.
<?php
$sql = mysqli_query("Select moist_measure_avail from sigh_in_account where moist_measure_avail = '1'");
$result = mysqli_fetch_array($sql);
echo $result['moist_measure_avail'];
First of all you should have to create a connection
<?php
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost "," root","","dbname");
?>
And then you have to include the conn variable in your query
$sql = mysqli_query( $conn, " SELECT moist_measure_avail from sigh_in_account WHERE moist_measure_avail = '1'");
The sql statements must be either all caps or all small
$sql = mysqli_query("Select moist_measure_avail from sigh_in_account where moist_measure_avail = '1'");
pass connection as first param in above method. something like this
$sql = mysqli_query($conn,"Select moist_measure_avail from sigh_in_account where moist_measure_avail = '1'");
where $conn is mysql connection

PHP/MySQL: Passing values from one query to another in PHP multi queries

I have to execute 3 queries inside one PHP file. I have used mysqli_multi_query(). The first 2 queries are SELECT queries which return values for third query (INSERT). So far I have done this;
<?php
$host = "localhost";
$user = "smartbusarrival_grouplog";
$password = "group10#10";
$db = "smartbusarrival_sbaDB";
$u_id = 51;
$b_id = 1;
$t_id = 1;
$date = '2017-06-30';
$startHalt = "Kaduwela";
$endHalt = "Nugegoda";
$seats = array(42,43);
$con = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$db);
$query = "CALL getHaltTag('$t_id','$startHalt');";
$query .= "CALL getHaltTag('$t_id','$endHalt');";
$query .= "INSERT INTO reservation (user_id,bus_id,trip_id,date,start,end) values ('$u_id','$b_id','$t_id','$date','$startTag','$endTag')";
if(mysqli_multi_query($con, $query)){
do{
if($result = mysqli_store_result($con)){
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
$startTag = $row[0];
$endTag = $row[1];
}
mysqli_free_result($result);
}
}
while (mysqli_next_result($con));
}
mysqli_close($con);
?>
First two queries work very well and give correct answers.
Code works just fine when inserting a new record. But the value of start and end are zero.
You can't use multi-query for this, because you're substituting the variables into the third query before you perform the fetch that sets them. Just do them as separate queries.
$query = "CALL getHaltTag('$t_id','$startHalt');";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
$row = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
$startTag = $row[0];
$query = "CALL getHaltTag('$t_id','$endHalt');";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
$row = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
$endTag = $row[0];
$query = "INSERT INTO reservation (user_id,bus_id,trip_id,date,start,end) values ('$u_id','$b_id','$t_id','$date','$startTag','$endTag')";
mysqli_query($con, $query);
In general, there are very few situations where multi-query is really needed, and it usually complicates the code.
And if you change getHaltTag from a stored procedure to a stored function, you don't need 3 separate queries. You could do it in a single query where you call the function:
$query = "INSERT INTO reservation (user_id,bus_id,trip_id,date,start,end)
values ('$u_id','$b_id','$t_id','$date',getHaltTag('$startHalt'),getHaltTag('$endHalt'))";

Need Some Help Regarding Fetching Data from Mysql using explode function

In the below script I want to fetch data from mysql using a explode function and also a variable within an explode function.
Here's how I want to get
<?php
include ('config.php');
$track = "1,2,3";
$i = 1
$trackcount = explode(",",$track);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tracks WHERE id='$trackcount['$i']'";
$retval = mysql_query($sql, $conn);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($retval, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
echo "{$row['track_name']}";
}
mysql_free_result($retval);
?>
This is the code
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tracks WHERE id='$trackcount[$i]'";
I want sql to fetch data from tracks table where id = $trackcount[$i]
Whatever the value of $trackcount[$i] mysql should fetch but it shows a blank screen.
If I put this
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tracks WHERE id='$trackcount[1]'";
It works perfectly
save your $trackcount[$i] in one variable and then pass it in the query as given below
<?php
include ('config.php');
$track = "1,2,3";
$i = 1;
$trackcount = explode(",",$track);
$id=$trackcount[$i];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tracks WHERE id='$id'";
$retval = mysql_query($sql, $conn);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($retval, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
echo "{$row['track_name']}";
}
mysql_free_result($retval);
?>
and one more thing check your previous code with echo of your query and see what is passing ok.
echo $sql = "SELECT * FROM tracks WHERE id='$trackcount['$i']'";//like this
problem is with your query
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tracks WHERE id='$trackcount['$i']'";//change
to
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tracks WHERE id='$trackcount[$i]'";
Generally you would want to use the IN operator with this type of query, so for you this would be:-
$sql="SELECT * FROM `tracks` WHERE `id` in (".$track.");";
or, if the $ids are in an array,
$sql="SELECT * FROM `tracks` WHERE `id` in (".implode( ',', $array ) .");";

MS SQL Query failed in PHP but not in MS SQL Server Management Studio

I execute this query with php and odbc driver
$sql="DECLARE #Auftrag int;
DECLARE #date_now datetime = getdate();
EXEC #Auftrag=EHS.dbo.SP_ANZEIGE
#Tablet=1,
#Status=0,
#KuNr='K015538';
SELECT 'generatedID'=#Auftrag;";
$res = odbc_exec($db1_link, $sql) or die(odbc_errormsg()); // returns resource(13)
$firstRow = odbc_fetch_array($res); // dies error
If i do odbc_fetch_array the error "No tuples available at this result index" is thrown.
If I run the exact same query in Management Studio everything works fine. It shows me the computed generatedID. What is the difference?
greets Alex
Try to prefix the query with:
set nocount on
That prevents SQL Server from sending rowcount updates, which UNIX clients sometimes mistake for actual rowsets
I had this same problem. In my case I was executing like this
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table1";
$resultSet = odbc_exec($sqllink, $sql);
while ($data = odbc_fetch_array($resultSet)) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table2";
$resultSet2 = odbc_exec($sqllink, $sql);//failed here
while ($data2 = odbc_fetch_array($resultSet2)) {
//something here
}
}
and I changed like this and it worked
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table1";
$resultSet = odbc_exec($sqllink, $sql);
// Create an array and store the results
$queryResult = array();
while ($data = odbc_fetch_array($resultSet)) {
// push the required content into the array
$queryResult[$data['id']]['name'] = $data[name];
}
foreach($queryResult as $row) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table2";
$resultSet2 = odbc_exec($sqllink, $sql);
while ($data2 = odbc_fetch_array($resultSet2)) {
// something here
}
}
