PHP - Error_log: Invalid Argument Supplied For Foreach()

I am a total newbie at PHP and I have a wordpress plugin that works well but sometimes does not return any results to the query which I believe is causing this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() social-media-integrated-related-content-smirc/lib/smirclib.php on line 182

From what I am reading on other forums the problem is possibly that the foreach loop is empty since the array must have elements. The solution being  to add a check above the foreach loop, to count the number of elements in the array, and if it is zero, skip the foreach loop. Is this correct? Here is the code....can someone please edit it so I can see an example of how it should be done? Again total PHP newbie so please be clear if possible. Thanks so much!!!

so what I do wrong. I knowI forgot something but what????

thanks in advance for your help

I have searched for this topic here but have not found reference to it.

I am receiving the following:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/a4542527/public_html/index.php on line 8

The scripting for this is basic at this point (I am building something in steps and this is just a test section: The script will call data from the table and display said data.)

The following is the code (two, separate files located on my server)- I am hoping that someone may see something that I am missing.

connection.php
<?php
    $dbhost = 'mysql7.000webhost.com';
    $dbuser = 'a4542527_root';
    $dbpass = '**********';
    
    $db = 'a4542527_test1';
    $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
    mysql_select_db($db);

?>

index.php
<?php
    include 'connection.php';
    
    $query = "SELECT * FROM people";
    
    $result = "mysql_query($query)";
    
    while ($person = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo  $person ['name'];
    echo  $person ['descrip'];
    }
?>

Thank-you for any help, suggestions or a point in the right direction.

I am getting an error message. Quote

mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result

My Sql seems to work fine. But I kept on getting this error message whenever I try to view orderid. I have option to view different field such as orderid, orderdate, price and profit. When the page loads its fine. But when I try to view orderdate the orderid I get the error message

Error code is on the first line and the other places where it says $result.
Code: [Select]
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td align='left'>" . $row['orderid'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td align='left' style='font-size:12px;'>" . $row['orderdate'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td align='left' style='font-size:12px;'>" . $row['updated'] . "</td>"; 
  echo "<td align='left' style='font-size:12px;'>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";

Please help me.

Thanks for reading! I'm working on a site and it won't display my records from the database. I have a little filter system that did work, but now it doesn't. I get the following error message:


Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/vhosts/60608.glrdmd.eu/httpdocs/jakesite/select3.php on line 26


Relevant code to the error is:

Code: [Select]
<?php 
include("connection.php");

if(isset($_POST['Graphic']) &&
   $_POST['Graphic'] == 'yes')
{
$result1 = "graphic";
}
if(isset($_POST['Interactive']) &&
   $_POST['Interactive'] == 'yes')
{
$result2 = "interactive";
}
if(isset($_POST['Websites']) &&
   $_POST['Websites'] == 'yes')
{
$result3 = "websites";
}
$order = $_POST['group1'];
$sql = ("SELECT * FROM 'jake_portfolio' WHERE CAT = '$result1' OR CAT = '$result2' OR CAT = '$result3' ORDER BY '$order' LIMIT 0, 4");
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$checked = "checked";
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>

Does anyone see what I am doing wrong here?

$getURL = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT `urlname` FROM `workingurls` ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"));


spits out

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /public_html/script.php on line 130

How do you make mysql_fetch_assoc a valid MySQL result resource?

 I am simply trying to display the last 8 images from a mysql database and i am getting this error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/aretheyh/public_html/nealeweb.com/gnew2/recent.php on line 8

Can somebody please tell me what i am doing wrong.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$i = 1;
echo '<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>';
include("config.inc.php"); 

        $result =  mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gallery_photos ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 8"); 
        while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { // Start of the loop 
        $img = $row['".$images_dir."/tb_']; 

echo "<td><img src=$img></td>"; 

if ($i == 4) {
echo '</tr><tr>';
}

$i++;
}
echo '</tr></table>'; 

I have this search script, that finds a username in a table and displays it.

                             <form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
 Search: <input type="text" name="username" />
 <input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" />
 <input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" />
 </form>                            
                                            
                                            
 <? 
 //This is only displayed if they have submitted the form 
 $searching = $_POST['searching'];
 $find = $_POST['username'];
 if ($searching =="yes") 
 { 
 echo "<h2>Results</h2><p>"; 
 
 //If they did not enter a search term we give them an error 
 if ($find == "") 
 { 
 echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term"; 
 exit; 
 } 
 
 // Otherwise we connect to our Database 
 // We preform a bit of filtering
 
 $find = strtoupper($find); 
 $find = strip_tags($find); 
 $find = trim ($find); 
 
 //Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified 
 $data = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE upper($find) LIKE'%$find%'"); 
 
 //And we display the results 
 while($result = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) 
 { 
 echo $result['username']; 
 echo "<br>"; 
 echo "<br>"; 
 } 
 
 //This counts the number or results - and if there wasn't any it gives them a little message explaining that 
 $anymatches= mysql_num_rows ($data); 
 if ($anymatches == 0) 
 { 
 echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query<br><br>"; 
 } 
 
 //And we remind them what they searched for 
 echo "<b>Searched For:</b> " .$find; 
 } 
 ?>                            
For some reason it does not work and gives this message:

[b]Warning[/b]:  mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [b]C:\Program Files\EasyPHP5.2.10\www\yanille\users.php[/b] on line [b]153[/b]

 Error: Unknown column 'MI' in 'where clause'   

The reason it says MI is because I searched mi in the database which is part of the username in mike123

What would be the problem?

I think I did make the query correct. Didn't I?

Thanks for the help ahead of time.

This is the full error...Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in

This is what I am trying to do...
     1. get data from the page before which it gets fine in the $_GET function...
     2. then set the sersion[username] to $username...(I think I am doing something wrong there)
     3. then if the $username doesnt match the username pulled from the database (according to the $_GET info) then open a different databse and update a value in that table.
     4. then kill the code die ();
