Pikachu2000 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Your query execution is failing and returning a boolean FALSE. Echo mysql_error, along with the query string to see what the error is and what might have caused it.

trq Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 You need to read Pikachu2000's reply again. It's better you learn how to find and fix errors rather than have someone simply do it for you.

Pikachu2000 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Did you read the PHP manual entry for mysql_error() I linked to in my previous post?

Pikachu2000 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The examples are quite clear, which part has you stuck? Post the code you tried to use it in and the errors/problems you encountered.

Post the code you tried to use it in and the errors/problems you encountered. I am not sure on how to use it.. but i tried it this way.. this is where the error occurs $db = mysql_connect($mysql_server, $mysql_username, $mysql_password); mysql_select_db($mysql_database, $db); $sql = "SELECT password, fullname, active FROM ".$mysql_table." WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."'"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $db); if ($data = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { if ($crypt_pass == $data['password'] && $data['active'] != 0) { $found = true; $fullname = $data['fullname']; } else die(mysql_error()); } mysql_close($db); if($found == false) { header('Location: '.$error_page); exit; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/267933-mysql_fetch_array-expects-parameter-1-to-be-resource-boolean/#findComment-1375634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelobelmonte Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Additional info: i tried adding this: $result = mysql_query($sql, $db) or trigger_error ( mysql_error ( ) ); but a notice prompted at the error message as follows: Unknown column 'active' in 'field list' in /home/mcssonli/public_html/login.php on line 18 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/267933-mysql_fetch_array-expects-parameter-1-to-be-resource-boolean/#findComment-1375640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Well then, there you have it. There is apparently no field named `active` in your table.

gelobelmonte Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Well then, there you have it. There is apparently no field named `active` in your table. Wow, I think I'm a bit closer.. I need to make a field on the table named as 'active' then? What would be the suggested parameters? Thank you!

Pikachu2000 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I haven't the slightest idea. I don't know what the rest of the application does. Where did this code come from?
