Struggling with php SELECT - php

Question

I have used the below code in my website,
<?php
$con= mysqli_connect("*******","******","*****", "catalejo_articles");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result= mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM baul");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['title'] . " " . $row['date'];
}
mysqli_close($con);
?>
and it is not working. What am i doing wrong??
I am new to php and mysql, any help will be appreciated.
UPDATE:
I want to thank and apologize to all of you who spent precious time trying to help me. I just solved the problem, the original code was OK. The problem was I didn't change the file extension to PHP.

Answer 1

Make sure display error is enabled. add this line at the top of your page and see if it display any error :
error_reporting(-1);
And try inside while loop :
var_dump($row)
Does table contains data?

Answer 2

Try this way,
if ($result = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM baul", MYSQLI_USE_RESULT)) {
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['title'] . " " . $row['date'];
}
mysqli_free_result($result);
}

Check if u have any records in your table using mysqli_num_rows
$con= mysqli_connect("*******","******","*****", "catalejo_articles");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result= mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM baul");
$count = mysqli_num_rows($result);
if($count > 0)
{
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['title'] . " " . $row['date'];
}
}else{
echo "No Records found in the table";
}
mysqli_close($con);

From what I can make out of your code, since you were attempting to reference by association instead of by numerical index, you weren't seeing anything because you were missing MYSQLI_ASSOC in your while loop:
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
echo $row['title']." ".$row['date'];
}
Otherwise you need to know where "title" and "date" columns are located and reference them by numerical value:
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row[0]." ".$row[1];
}
Alternatively, if mysqli_fetch_array is not working (due to PHP version), try using:
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row['title'].' '.$row['date'];
}
