Fatal Error when trying to execute simple SELECT query

[cr0ck3t]

I am trying to run the following:

$sqlErrors = "";

$query = "SELECT `name` FROM company WHERE id=".$_POST['companyID'];
$result = $mysqli->query($query);
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
$company = $row['name'];

$sqlErrors = $mysqli->error ? "Selecting company, id: ".$_POST['companyID'].". Error: ".$mysqli->error : "";

And am getting the following output:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method mysqli::SELECT `name` FROM company WHERE id=3() 

I have no idea where the trailing brackets are coming from, and even tried

$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT `name` FROM company WHERE id=3");

... but get the same result.

 

 

The questionable piece of code is contained within the following, in the "what company are we regestering the agent to?" section.

$all_query_ok = true;
        $sqlErrors = "";
        /* connect to the db */
        $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost','riski296_dbuser','7FJTCJyMARer90oCKmyek5Cw36wXYG1etWJcOGjYONn53liYEHkTb0v74WqpVV3O', 'riski296_taxi_pim') or die('Cannot select the DB');
        
        /*

         */
        $query = "SELECT `name` FROM company WHERE id=".$_POST['companyID'];
        $result = $mysqli->query($query);
        $row = $result->fetch_assoc();
        $company = $row['name'];
        
        $sqlErrors = $mysqli->error ? "Selecting company, id: ".$_POST['companyID'].". Error: ".$mysqli->error : "";

        /* grab the first available agnet for that company */
        $agentID = -1;
        if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT id FROM agent WHERE is_active=0 AND companyID=".$_POST['companyID']." LIMIT 1")) {
            if($result->num_rows == 1){
                /* fetch object array */
                $row = $result->fetch_assoc();
                $agentID = $row['id'];
            } else {
                echo "There is no agents currently entered for ".$company;
                exit();
            }

Any help is most appreciated!

 

Thanks,

$mysqli->$query

You have three of them.

[kicken]

 

        $mysqli->$query("    INSERT INTO connection_device (idDevices, device_type, idPlan)

//...
        $mysqli->$query("    INSERT INTO device (idDevices, idAgent, idConnectionDevice)
//...
        $mysqli->$query("    INSERT INTO compay_device_relation (idCompany, idDevice, install_date, location, removal_date)

 

You got a little $ happy there. Too many of them.

Can we ever have too much $$$?

And thanks for the second set of eyes
