Boolean error

Hey everybody, I have searched the entire internet pretty much to try and figure out why this code doesn't work.

It used to work, but once I moved it to another server it gives me this error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in

 

Here is the code:

$requests = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users, friendrequests WHERE touser='$username' AND fromuser=username ORDER BY requestid ASC"); 
while($reqs = mysql_fetch_array($requests)){


}

if anybody could help me...

 

It seems to not want to connect to multiple databases at all. Could it be a php.ini thing?

 

I'm using XAMPP 1.7.2 btw, all the new xampps error out like crazy

Temporarily use

 

$requests = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users, friendrequests WHERE touser='$username' AND fromuser=username ORDER BY requestid ASC") or die(mysql_error());
and find out why your query failed. (Which is what happened.)

 

Also,

1. The mysql extension and mysql_* functions are dead. Switch to mysqli or PDO.

2. Use a real JOIN instead of the comma.

SELECT fields FROM users JOIN friendrequests ON whatever conditions to join them together WHERE the rest of your conditions... ORDER BY requestid ASC

Good. It's telling you about all the things going wrong. Edited by requinix
