Question

$db_user="root";
$db_host="localhost";
$db_password="root";
$db_name = "fayer";
$conn = mysqli_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_password,$db_name) or die ("couldn t connect to server");

// perform query
$query =  SELECT * FROM posts ;
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query) or die ("Couldn t execute query.");

// use returned data
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    echo $row[ title ];
}

I get in the browser: "mysql problem".

Help!

UPDATE

I have echoed the query. It shows SELECT * FROM posts and when I query manually it gets the rows.

I think it has something to do with mysqli. I think i should use mysql. Do u think I have incompatibility problems with mysqli?

Answer 1

You have empty WHERE clause. Remove it or add a search condition.

Answer 2

Change

$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query) or die ("Couldn t execute query.");

to

$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query) or die ("Couldn t execute query because: " . mysqli_error());

and you will know why the query is failing. Rule of thumb: Whenever you have a failed query, print it out and run it through phpmyadmin or some other raw-query executor and you will discover very quickly what the problem is.
