Mysqli query

[ecabrera]

i keep getting PHP Warning: mysqli_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given

 

i am new to mysqli

 

$get = $_GET['game'];
if(!empty($get)){

require "scripts/db.ini.php";

$select = "SELECT * FROM games WHERE game=`$get`";
$return = mysqli_query($db,$select);

$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($return);
echo $row['game'];

}

You have ticks in your query when I'm guessing they should be quotes.

 

// Current
$select = "SELECT * FROM games WHERE game=`$get`";

// Should be (if $get is a string)
$select = "SELECT * FROM games WHERE game='$get'";

// Should be (if $get is a int)
$select = "SELECT * FROM games WHERE game=$get";

 

Please note: you should either be validating the value in $_GET['game'], using an escape-string type function or database parameters. Otherwise there will be SQL injection.

If you check for errors you will probably find that that the query fails. Put single quotes, not backticks (`) , around $get
