PHP code error in Xampp 1.8.1 but ok in Xampplite 1.7.3
Posted: 07. October 2012 17:58I'm new and learning the php & MySQL now. When I tried to run the php code as the following in FireFox, there is error under the Xampp 1.8.1 but no any problem in Xampplite 1.7.3. Note, I'm using the Netbeans 7.2 as my IDE. The code is:
<?php
require 'database.php';
// Get category ID
$category_id = $_GET['category_id'];
if (!isset($category_id)) {
$category_id = 1;
}
// Get name for current category
$query = "SELECT * FROM categories
WHERE categoryID = $category_id";
$category = $db->query($query);
$category = $category->fetch();
$category_name = $category['categoryName'];
// Get all categories
$query = 'SELECT * FROM categories
ORDER BY categoryID';
$categories = $db->query($query);
// Get products for selected category
$query = "SELECT * FROM products
WHERE categoryID = $category_id
ORDER BY productID";
$products = $db->query($query);
?>

The code is coming out from one of the php & MySQL books, Murach's.....I even tried to run it under the linux(ubuntu) , but same error as the full version of Xampp 1.8.1 in Windows. I really can't figure out what's the problem. Can someone help? Thanks so much.
