dumdumsareyum Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I wrote a little program to search all the tables in a particular database for a value. It was working just fine, but when I tried to search a very large database (73 large tables) it would return results for about 8 tables and then give an out of memory error. I tried using "mysql_free_result($result)" (which I have commented out in the posted code), but that gave me an error saying "supplied argument is not a valid mysql result resource." Help please? <?php /*Program: mysql_send.php *Desc: PHP program that searches all tables in a database * MySQL server and displays the results. */ echo "<html> <head><title>SQL Query Sender</title></head> <body>"; $host="localhost"; $user="root"; $password=""; $dbname = "PetCatalog"; $cxn = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password, $dbname) or die("Could not connect to server"); $query = "SHOW TABLES"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn, $query); $rownum = 0; while( $row = mysqli_fetch_row($result)) { foreach($row as $i =>$value) { $tablenames[$rownum]= $value; $rownum++; } } $counter = 0; $searchstring = "Pegasus"; $foundcount = 0; $size = sizeof($tablenames); echo "$size tables found."; do { $query = "SELECT * FROM $tablenames[$counter]"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn, $query) or die ("could not execute query"); $rownum = 1; echo "<h3>Results from table '$tablenames[$counter]'</h3>"; while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) { foreach($row as $column => $value) { $searcharray[$rownum][$column] = $value; if ($value == $searchstring) { echo "$searchstring found, column $column, row $rownum, table {$tablenames[$counter]}"; $foundcount++; } } $rownum++; } $counter++; //mysql_free_result($result); } while($counter < sizeof($tablenames)); echo "$searchstring was found $foundcount time(s)"; ?> </body></html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53807-php-with-mysql-memory-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
btherl Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Have you tried mysqli_free_result() ? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53807-php-with-mysql-memory-problem/#findComment-265998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergusfer Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Indeed. Do not mix mysqli and mysql. They are different extensions. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53807-php-with-mysql-memory-problem/#findComment-266002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
