I am trying to query data from a table using the following script:
//connect file
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
//connect file included above - ECHO tested and it is connected as $conn
$sql = "SELECT * FROM userInfo";
$results = $conn->query($sql);
if (!$results) {
printf("Errormessage: %s\n", $conn->error);
exit;
} else {
echo $row['username'];
}
UPDATE --
It now no longer tries to throw an error and seems to go to the else section; however, no echo - and the spelling is correct this time and the column is filled.
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo $row["username"];
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
This now returns results. Thank you #Fred -ii- especially for your help on this.
Also thanks #jjczopek for the error checking advice!

I have a connection where i want to get some data from my database.
I have inserted some data but now i want to retreive it but i get NULL.
I have no idea why.
<?php
require "connect.php";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tbltemperature ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 1";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
var_dump($results);
$t = 0;
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$weather[] = array(
$row["time"],
$row["inside_temperature"]
);
echo $row["time"];
echo $row["inside_temperature"];
}
$conn->close();
?>
check var_dump($results); , it looks like it should be var_dump($result);
otherwise you should check $result->num_rows() first to know if there is any row available.
Firstly you have to check your query in phpmyadmin query is working or not. If working you should try to var_dump($result); and after
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<br> time: ". $row["time"]. " - inside_temperature: ". $row["inside_temperature"]."<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
I am having trouble with an SQL query that I have inserted into a piece of PHP code to retrieve some data. The query itself works perfectly within SQL. I am using the following PHP script.
I have the following objectives:
Connect to the existing database. This part works well.
Get data from the column 'Brand' of the table 'Transport' in $sql. This part is not working at this stage. echo ($sql) returns SELECT Brand FROM Transport WHERE Type = 'car'
Could you please let me know if you see the solution to this issue and if the remaining part of the code is correct. This is my f_sqlConnect()
function f_sqlConnect() {
$link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
if (!link) {
die('Could not connect: '.mysql_error());
}
$db_selected = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
die('Can not use'.DB_NAME.
': '.mysql_error());
}
}
/*This function cleans up the array to protect against injection attacks */
function f_clean($array) {
return array_map('mysql_real_escape_string', $array);
}
<?php
// Create connection
$link = f_sqlConnect();
// Getting data from the column Brand of the table Transport
$sql = "SELECT Brand FROM Transport WHERE Type = 'car'";
$result = $link->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "Brand: " . $row["Brand"]. "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$link->close();
?>
Here is the code, without seeing your f_sqlConnect(); mothod. This method should return connection string for DB in your case. But you can use following code this must work.
<?php
$servername = "Your_db_host";
$username = "your_db_username";
$password = "your_db_password";
$dbname = "your_DB_name";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "SELECT Brand FROM Transport WHERE Type = 'car'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "Brand: " . $row["Brand"];
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>
NOTE: Object oriented way of mysqli, You can use procedural way too to connect and get data.
Ok, so it seems like my SELECT count query doesn't work here:
<?php
$servername = " ";
$username = " ";
$password = " ";
$dbname = " ";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
if (isset($_POST['submitted1'])) {
$result= mysqli_query("SELECT COUNT (Motspillerid)
FROM SESSION
WHERE Motspillerid= 3 ");
echo $result ;
} else {
echo "Wrong" ;
}
?>
And when I press submitt nothing happens, I don't get any error message and I don't get the result. So it's something wrong with the SELECT query I guess.
I'm noob I know, I'm new to this.
:)
You're not calling mysqli_query() correctly, the first argument has to be the database connection object returned by mysqli_connect.
And after performing the query, you have to fetch the results using one of the mysqli_fetch_X() functions.
if (isset($_POST['submitted1'])) {
$result= mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT COUNT(*) AS count
FROM SESSION
WHERE Motspillerid= 3 ");
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
echo $row['count'];
} else {
echo "Wrong" ;
}
i have been trying to get this script done for a while now - im kind of new to php and mysql but i have been trying to get this to check the db for the username and then if the username exists - stop checking the db and if it doesn't exists add it to the db.
here is my code:
//input from application
$test = "wheelsmanx";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "SELECT mainusername FROM CCCpro_test";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
if ($row["mainusername"] === $test) {
echo "User Name Already In Use.";
}if($row["mainusername"] !== $test){
echo "this statement";
[code that inserts into db i can do this part myself]
}
}
$conn->close();
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
The problem with your code is that you do the INSERT of the new name inside an if statement that has confirmed the existence of that user already. In addition I think you messed up your SELECT statement by selecting all the users.
Look into INSERT ON DUPLICATE for a better way to do it, or revise your code as below.
$sql = "SELECT mainusername FROM CCCpro_test WHERE mainusername = $test";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
echo "User Name Already In Use.";
}
else{ //no rows selected therefore the user doesn't exist
[code that inserts into db i can do this part myself]
}
$conn->close();
PLEASE READ I have somewhere to go so I am being lazy so I did not bind the $test variable therefore DO NOT copy and paste this code without updating it to bind the $test variable. Please read this post about PDO and variable binding to prevent SQL injection.
here is my full working code if anyone needs it - it uses the post method - from an html form .... in case some one needs to hack it to pieces for something else
well guys i appreciate all of your help :D but i have found an answer or a way around it i suppose- i thought of it all night and day on how i could make it work and i came up with this
$servername = "127.0.0.1";
$username = "TESTUSER";
$password = "TESTPASS";
$dbname = "TESTDB";
$testusername = $_POST['mainusername'];
$testpassword = $_POST['mainpassword'];
//input from application
$test = $_POST['mainusername'];
$test2 = "0";
//Count switch
$countswitch = "0";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql1 = "INSERT INTO CCCpro_test ( mainusername, mainpassword ) VALUES ('$testusername','$testpassword' )";
$sql = "SELECT mainusername FROM CCCpro_test";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
if ($row["mainusername"] === $test) {
echo "Im Sorry Username Already In Use";
$countswitch ++;
}
}
if($countswitch == $test2){
echo "User Name Registered";
$db_handle = mysql_connect($servername, $username, $password);
$db_found = mysql_select_db($dbname, $db_handle);
if ($db_found) {
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1);
mysql_close($db_handle);
}
}
if ($countswitch == 3){
echo "this";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
i am new to PHP, and i am attempting to create a simple connection from html to mySQL using php. I met with some problems when running my codes.
this is my code:
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "SELECT username FROM users";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<br> id: ". $row["userid"]. ;
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>
after running on a browser, this is displayed:
connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } $sql = "SELECT username FROM users"; $result = $conn->query($sql); if ($result->num_rows > 0) { // output data of each row while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { echo "
id: ". $row["userid"]. ; } } else { echo "0 results"; } $conn->close(); ?>
Do you have mysql running on your localhost machine? You must verify that it is working first before you can connect via php. Also, make sure you have TCP/IP sockets open in mysql and to make sure it isn't just listening via unix sockets.
echo "<br> id: ". $row["userid"]. ;
this is a syntax error, no need to end it with a full stop.also the correct syntax to connect to sql server is
mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db") or die("");
Debug the code before posting it here.
maybe try testing it with a try catch statement. Its what I've done. this way you can display your error messages a little more nicely. As for the cause, PressingOnAlways is probably right
If you are using wampserver or any other server you need to put your php files into c:\wamp\www folder and run them in browser by typing localhost/nameofyourfile.php (change c:\wapm\www for your server installation path or type)
you have the syntax error in blow line
echo "<br> id: ". $row["userid"]. ;
. (dot) should not be there.
second you fetch usernamestrong text by following query
$sql = "SELECT username FROM users";
but you try to get userid
echo "<br> id: ". $row["userid"]. ;
try below code.
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "databasename";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "SELECT usersname FROM users";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<br> id: ". $row["usersname"] ;
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>
