Php not working...

Postby WillAugust » 13. September 2009 13:21

Hello!
I recently reinstalled a whole new OS and everything, and I reinstalled Xampp which all my files were working perfectly on before.

So it is installed, and in the status everything is fine except the three bottom things which i dont think i need.
But with the php, it doesn't work. Here is an example...
Remember, this was working fine before.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\stw\userClass.php on line 338
Title: title[$i];?>

maybe it's a different PHP version? How do i change the php version if it is?

Thanks for help. :)

You better change your code than your PHP version ;)
If you provide an example of code where the error occurs we could help you with that.

But it was definitely working before I reinstalled xampp...

Code: Select all
   $query = "SELECT * FROM $this->dbUserTable WHERE userName = '$username' AND password = '$password'";

   $result = mysql_query($query);
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ <- line 338

mysql_query() returns FALSE on error. Did you start MySQL and are other DB connections working?

Yeah, it looks to me like your MySQL connection details, such as username and password aren't correct or your MySQL server isn't running.

Also make sure the database you are trying to query exists and has the same name as it did before as well as contains information and is not empty.

Output MySQL errors is always a best practice for debugging :mrgreen:
