mysql_fetch_array()/mysql_fetch_assoc()/mysql_fetch_row()/mysql_num_rows etc... expects parameter 1 to be resource
(31 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I am pulling my hair out here. I have an html form for data entry and posting to insert_ac.php and I get this error:
Warning: mysql_query() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in /home/content/52/11733052/html/admin/insert_ac.php on line 24
Here is the code from insert_ac.php:
<?php
$username = "nlladmin";
$password = "password";
$hostname = "localhost";
$link = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
$selected = mysql_select_db("nlladmin",$link)
or die("Could not select Admin Database");
// Get values from form
$make=$_POST['make'];
$model=$_POST['model'];
// Insert data into mysql
$sql="INSERT INTO assets (make, model)VALUES('$make', '$model')";
if (!mysql_query($link,$sql))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error($link));
}
echo "1 record added";
mysql_close();
?>
Any suggestion will be helpful.
Besides that you should not be using mysql_ functions,
you swapped the parameters in
resource mysql_query ( string $query [, resource $link_identifier = NULL ] )
That's what the error msg says.
if (!mysql_query($sql, $link))
....
works.
The first parameter is the query, the second the resource.
mysql_query($sql, $link);
the function mysql_query() just takes the query as a parameter , like the following :
mysql_query($sql);

What to do with mysqli problems? Errors like mysqli_fetch_array(): Argument #1 must be of type mysqli_result and such
(1 answer)
Closed 4 years ago.
I've spent the past 2 hours trying to solve this one error. I am a complete rookie so I dont know what's going on. Here's the code, please help:
<?php
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="id11111_ab"; // Mysql username
$password="*****"; // Mysql password
$db_name="id11111_cd"; // Database name
$tbl_name="ef"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select database.
$link = mysqli_connect($host, $username, $password, $db_name);
// Retrieve data from database
$sql = "SELECT * FROM scores ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 10";
$result = mysqli_query($link,$sql);
// Start looping rows in mysql database.
while($rows=mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
echo $rows['name'] . "|" . $rows['score'] . "|";
// close while loop
}
?>
mysqli_query() returns false if it fails. Subsequently, the mysqli_fetch_array() function is being passed this false boolean value, on which it can't operate. You'd be wise to check the value that mysqli_query() returns isn't false prior to attempting to retrieve the resource. E.g.:
$result = mysqli_query($link,$sql);
if (!$result) {
die('Query failed');
}
It seems like the mysql connection is not established properly.
Check for errors using this:
if(mysqli_connect_errno()){
echo mysqli_connect_error();
}

I'm new to MySql so forgive me for any stupid errors but Basically i'm making a blog and i have a table which has 4 columns: post_id, post_text, post_user and post_date. I am unable to get my code to insert data into MySql, I'd be greatfull if you could have a look and let me know where I'm going wrong:
<?php
$host = "localhost";
$user="user";
$password="*********";
$db="myData";
$user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(-1);
//can't find the user_id
$con=mysql_connect($host,$user,$password,"myData","posts");
if( $con === FALSE ) {
die('mysql connection error: '.mysql_error());
}
$post_text = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST["blog_entrance"]);
$post_date = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,date("y.m.d"));
$query = "INSERT INTO posts (post_text, post_user) VALUES ('$post_text','$user_id','$post_date')";
mysql_query($query,$con) or die('Can\'t post data atm: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_close($host,$user,$password,"myData","posts");
header('Location: ../index.php');
?>
the error message is this
"Warning: mysql_connect() expects parameter 5 to be long, string given in /media/sdc1/Documents/Coding/Blog/www/core/submit.php on line 15 Warning: mysqli_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given in /media/sdc1/Documents/Coding/Blog/www/core/submit.php on line 21 Warning: mysqli_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given in /media/sdc1/Documents/Coding/Blog/www/core/submit.php on line 22 Notice: Undefined variable: user_id in /media/sdc1/Documents/Coding/Blog/www/core/submit.php on line 25 Warning: mysql_query() expects parameter 2 to be resource, null given in /media/sdc1/Documents/Coding/Blog/www/core/submit.php on line 26 Can't post data atm:"
I can see that all these errors seem to stem from the mysql_connect function, please could you tell me the error of my ways?
Also i'm unsure as to whether to use mysql or mysqli????
Read about mysql_connect() function: here
You must use:
$con = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password);
Anyway, mysql_* functions is old, monstrous and deprecated. Use PDO or mysqli
I thought i'd post my final code so future users can have a look at it:
$con= new mysqli($host,$user,$password,$db);
if ($con->connect_errno) {
die("Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $con->connect_errno . ") " . $con->connect_error);
}
$post_text = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST["blog_entrance"]);
$post_date = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,date("y.m.d"));
if (!$con->query("INSERT INTO posts(post_text, post_user, post_date) VALUES ('$post_text',$user_id','$post_date')")) {
die("Multi-INSERT failed: (" . $con->errno . ") " . $con->error);
}

I looked at the other answers to problems similar to mine but cant seem to solve this.
Here is the code.
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","starwars");
$conn = mysql_select_db("project", $connection);
// This code assumes $itemID is set to that of
// the item that was just rated.
// Get all of the user's rating pairs
$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT r.itemID, r2.ratingValue - r.ratingValue
as rating_difference
FROM rating r, rating r2
WHERE r.userID=$userID AND
r2.itemID=$itemID AND
r2.userID=$userID;";
$db_result = mysql_query($sql, $conn);
echo "The result is {$db_result}";
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($db_result)or die('Cannot Execute:'. mysql_error());
The error being displayed is:
Warning: mysql_query() expects parameter 2 to be resource, boolean
given in C:\xampp\htdocs\recomender\ratingfiles\class.rating.php on
line 177
Line 177 is
$db_result = mysql_query($sql, $conn);
And if I echo $conn it gives the value of "1" which I thought was equal to true, thus boolean, any ideas?
Pass $connection as the second parameter, not $conn.
You assign the result of mysql_select_db to $conn, and mysql_select_db returns true or false, not a connection resource.
This probably means $conn is false, meaning it didnt get setup correctly. You may want to check how you have set that up and ensure the database connection details are correct and the server this is running on can access the database server.
Take a look at the return values on this page:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php
change first 2 lines to
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","root","starwars");
mysql_select_db("project", $conn);
or, better, just refrain from using connection variable at all
mysql_connect("localhost","root","starwars");
mysql_select_db("project");
...
$db_result = mysql_query($sql);
$db_result = mysql_query($sql, $connection);
Second argument to mysql_connect must have
The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.

mysqli::query(): Couldn't fetch mysqli
(4 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I was told to stop using MySQL and now learning MySQLi. However I ran into a problem using fetch array and don't know what I did wrong.
//Connect to db
include "mysqli_connect.php";
// Construct our join query
$sql = "SELECT userID, username, lastlogin FROM users";
//Crate results
$result = mysqli_query($link, $sql);
// Print out the contents of each row into a table
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_BOTH);
// Free result set
mysqli_free_result($result);
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);
Messages I see:

I used this to for mysqli_connect.php: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.construct.php
<?php
// $link (host, username, password, database)
$link = mysqli_connect('host', 'username', 'password', 'database');
//If connection is successful, otherwise show error message.
if (!$link) {
die('[Connect Fail] Error: (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') '
. mysqli_connect_error());
}
// Echo success message
echo '[Connection Successful] Host info: ' . mysqli_get_host_info($link) . "\n";
// Close the link
mysqli_close($link);
?>
This line in your include file should be removed:
// Close the link
mysqli_close($link);
You're closing $link, a.k.a. your connection to the database, and then trying to use it in your query. You only want to close it when you're all done with it.

PHP Error: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given
I am trying to insert data from submitted form into database. The data is being successfully inserted into the DB but I keep getting this error message:
mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given
And here's the code:
function senddata () {
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","XXX","XXX");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("user", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO Employment (CollegeMajor) VALUE('$_POST[collegemajor]')";
$result=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close($con);
}
The error message is referring to this line:
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
http://de2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php
This is expected behavior. INSERT statements return a boolean value, true on success and false on failure.
However, you really should look at mysqli or PDO.
Please use the function mysql_affected_rows() to get the result of an INSERT operation.
what sort of result are you expecting after inserting a row into mysql?
if you want to obtain auto-increment-id - run mysql_insert_id($con).
