unexpected {

mindapolis · October 6, 2011

Hi, could someone please tell me why I'm getting an unexpected { error in the following code. I have went over it several times and everything seems to be matching.

You're missing a ; before the terminating brace.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in D:\Hosting\5246561\html\treats.php on line 30

$result_set

mindapolis · October 6, 2011

that goes where`

Maq · October 6, 2011

You have:

$result_set= mysql_query($query);

but then you use:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

mindapolis · October 6, 2011

Isn't that what I have ?

mindapolis · October 7, 2011

can someone please help me with this problem ?

ebolt007 · October 7, 2011

He means you have to change

$query= "SELECT * FROM treats";
$result_set= mysql_query($query);

$output = "<table>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
{

to

$query= "SELECT * FROM treats";
$result_set= mysql_query($query);

$output = "<table>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_set)) 
{

$result_set has to be the mysql_fetch_array since that's what your querying.

now it 's displaying a blank page

Well you are selecting everything from your table... Are you sure you have more than two rows?

does anyone know what 's going on?

Maq · October 7, 2011

Put these two lines directly after your opening PHP tag:

ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

If you're not receiving nor SQL or PHP errors than double check that your query actually returns results.

Are you sure your DatabaseConnection() method is connecting?

its still not displaying anything

I figured out the problem.

Maq · October 9, 2011

I figured out the problem.

Then please mark as solved and share the solution if you want.

razormedia · October 9, 2011

change the section from this:

<tr>
		<td>".$row['product_id']."</td>  
		<td>".$row['product_title']."</td>
		<td>".$row['product_Description']."</td>
		<td>".$row['product_price']."</td>			
	</tr>

to this

<tr>
		<td>".$product_id."</td>  
		<td>".$product_title."</td>
		<td>".$product_Description."</td>
		<td>".$product_price."</td>			
	</tr>

that made things worse

with the suggested code the following page displays.

Muddy_Funster · October 12, 2011

You do not have a value for the variables $product_id, $product_title, $product_description or $product_price! razormedia is eather trying to mess with you or seriously not qualified to be posting help on this thread.

copy/paste this and see what you get:

<?php
require_once("functions.php"); 
?>  
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
td {
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: solid;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
border-top-color: #30C;
border-right-color: #30C;
border-bottom-color: #30C;
border-left-color: #30C;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<?php
navBar();
echo "<form action=\"\" method=\"post\" name=\"catalog\">";
  
DatabaseConnection();  

  $query = "SELECT * FROM treats"; 
        $result_set = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$i = 0;
        echo = "<table>";
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_set))
        {
            echo"<tr><td>{$row['product_id']}</td><td>{$row['product_title']}</td><td>{$row['product_Description']}</td><td>{$row['product_price']}</td></tr>";
        }
        echo "</table>";
?>   
</form>
</body>
</html>

also make sure that that random upper case D in product_description is actualy ment to be upper case, or else it's going to be a problem.

mindapolis · October 12, 2011

that helped but how do I make it display like the attached diagram shows
