Hey guys, im new around here, and i have just recently started teaching myself PHP, by looks of this site i seem very experienced but im eager to learn
I seem to get an error with this code. The point of this code is to look into my database and pull out all entries with the first name _____ (whatever the user inputs)
Error: Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in C:\xampp\htdocs\searchans.php on line 12
Code: Filename:search.php
<html>
<form action='searchans.php' method='POST'>
First Name: <input type='text' name='firstname'><br>
<input type='submit' value='Search'>
</form>
</html>
Code: Filename:searchans.php
<?php
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName='$firstname'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName'] . " " . $row['Age'];
echo "<br />";
}
?>
