Warning: mysqli_error() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given

[dazz_club]

Hi all,

 

I've got a function which selects some new items, but i am running into some bother

 

the warning is:Warning: mysqli_error() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0...

 

the line it specifies is;

$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query)or die(mysqli_error() . "<p>With query:<br>$query");

 

Here is the whole function

 

function InTheNews()
{
global $dbc;
$query = "SELECT id, title, content, date FROM news_headlines ORDER BY id";
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query)or die(mysqli_error() . "<p>With query:<br>$query");
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
//need to format the date on this function
{
//get NewsID 
echo '<div class="headline">
           <a href="in_the_news.php?headlines='.$row['id'].'">'.$row['title'].'</a>
	   <span class="date_of_article">'.date("m.d.y",strtotime($row['date'])).'</span>
	   <p>'.$row['content'].'</p>
           </div>
        
';
}
}

 

Any pointers on this at all will be very helpful

Procedural style:

string mysqli_error ( mysqli $link )

 

You need to give it the connection link.
