PHP - Unable To View Mysql/mysqli Under Phpinfo()

Hello, 

I've been tasked with updating our code base from mysql to something that will work with php 7.  It's older code that was written by 2 or 3 individuals before me and it's not at all object oriented.  There are about 540 different files that I will end up having to edit to make it all up to date.  I'm not a very experienced programmer myself, and I'm in need of some guidance.  There are some files that have functions that call and use mysql queries three or four files deep and going through and editing one function leads me to having to update 4 or 5 other files which breaks stuff somewhere else down the road.  I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on ways to make this process less painful.  The other thing is that by using PDO in a not OO style, it seems like I'm losing a lot of its benefits.  Should I consider using MYSQLi instead of PDO considering the circumstances?  Are there any resources that you could point me to in order to help me learn the skills I need to make it through this upgrade?  Thanks for the help!

On the mainpage I am getting this error:   Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\page\controller\function.php on line 393    

	$result = $db->query($query);

And on the admin section:   Notice: Undefined index: role in C:\xampp\htdocs\page\admin\header.php on line 7

Notice: Undefined index: role in C:\xampp\htdocs\page\admin\header.php on line 7

Hello (I think I could have posted this in the wrong PHP area! - so posting it here),   I'm pretty new at building websites using php (and mysql) and was most recently given the task to create a database image gallery, which was to be accessed through a php website.  I made a full site which allowed me to upload said images  & it worked perfectly. However after doing my last checks I have been told that mysql is deprecated and that I need to use mysqli.   I've had a look at some tutorials on websites to help direct me but it's simply confusing me more and more each time I look at it.  Is it possible I am over thinking this and there is an easier way to approach it?   Thank you kindly. This is my php code:    

Hello im new to php and i cant seems to view my database in my php 

	<?php
										include('../connect.php');
										$sds=$_SESSION['SESS_FIRST_NAME'];
										$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM paymentdetails WHERE idnumber='$sds'");
										while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
											{
												echo '<tr class="record">';
												echo '<td style="border-left: 1px solid #C1DAD7"><div align="left">'.$row['date'].'</div></td>';
												echo '<td><div align="left">'.$row['amount'].'</div></td>';
												echo '</tr>';
											}
										?> 
									</tbody>
								</table>

Here my database  im really confuse on what to do

 

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `paymentdetails` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `idnumber` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `date` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `amount` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;

--
-- Dumping data for table `paymentdetails`
--

INSERT INTO `paymentdetails` (`id`, `idnumber`, `date`, `amount`) VALUES
(1, 'SID-YWU49JU', '2014-08-07', '50000');

I'm a beginner here and i am learning the basic in converting from MySQL to MySQLi. I am currently working on this registration page which I would want to convert to MySQLi. Please advise me how to modify this script, I would prefer the procedural style. The MySQLi coding is not working because it would notg insert into the database like the MySQL coding would, would appreciate if your can help me. MYSQL

Hi, I am trying to convert the register & login script from mysql to mysqli. I have converted the easy parts and have the connection to the database, but the following functions all need changing and I can't work out the correct solution mainly due to the deprecation of mysql_result()

The code that needs updating is
 

<?php
function user_count() {
	return mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `active` = 1"), 0);
}

function users_online() {
	return mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `logged_in` = 1"), 0);
}

function change_profile_image($user_id, $file_temp, $file_extn) {
	$file_path = 'images/profile/' . substr(md5(time()), 0, 10) . '.' . $file_extn;
	move_uploaded_file($file_temp, $file_path);
	mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `profile` = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($file_path) . "' WHERE `user_id` = " . (int)$user_id);
}

function has_access($user_id, $type) {
	$user_id 	= (int)$user_id;
	$type 		= (int)$type;
	
	return (mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `user_id` = $user_id AND `type` = $type"), 0) == 1) ? true : false;
}

function activate($email, $email_code) {
	$email 		= mysql_real_escape_string($email);
	$email_code = mysql_real_escape_string($email_code);
	
	if (mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '$email' AND `email_code` = '$email_code' AND `active` = 0"), 0) == 1) {
		mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `active` = 1 WHERE `email` = '$email'");
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}

function user_exists($username) {
	$username = sanitize($username);
	$query = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT('user_id') FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '$username'");
	return (mysql_result($query, 0) == 1) ? true : false;
}

function email_exists($email) {
	$email = sanitize($email);
	return (mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '$email'"), 0) == 1) ? true : false;
}

function user_id_from_username($username) {
	$username = sanitize($username);
	return mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT `user_id` FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '$username'"), 0, 'user_id');
}

function user_id_from_email($email) {
	$email = sanitize($email);
	return mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT `user_id` FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '$email'"), 0, 'user_id');
}

function login($username, $password) {
	$user_id = user_id_from_username($username);
	
	mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `logged_in` = 1 WHERE `user_id` = $user_id");

	$username = sanitize($username);
	$password = md5($password);
	
	return (mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '$username' AND `password` = '$password'"), 0) == 1) ? $user_id : false;
}

?>

And here is what the converter gave me:

function user_count() {
return mysql_result(mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], "SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `active` = 1"), 0);
}

function users_online() {
return mysql_result(mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], "SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `logged_in` = 1"), 0);
}

function change_profile_image($user_id, $file_temp, $file_extn) {
    $file_path = 'images/profile/' . substr(md5(time()), 0, 10) . '.' . $file_extn;
    move_uploaded_file($file_temp, $file_path);
    mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `profile` = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($file_path) . "' WHERE `user_id` = " . (int)$user_id);
}

function has_access($user_id, $type) {
    $user_id     = (int)$user_id;
    $type         = (int)$type;
    
    return (mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `user_id` = $user_id AND `type` = $type"), 0) == 1) ? true : false;
}

function activate($email, $email_code) {
    $email         = mysql_real_escape_string($email);
    $email_code = mysql_real_escape_string($email_code);
    
    if (mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '$email' AND `email_code` = '$email_code' AND `active` = 0"), 0) == 1) {
        mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `active` = 1 WHERE `email` = '$email'");
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

function user_exists($username) {
    $username = sanitize($username);
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT('user_id') FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '$username'");
    return (mysql_result($query, 0) == 1) ? true : false;
}

function email_exists($email) {
    $email = sanitize($email);
    return (mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '$email'"), 0) == 1) ? true : false;
}

function user_id_from_username($username) {
    $username = sanitize($username);
    return mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT `user_id` FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '$username'"), 0, 'user_id');
}

function user_id_from_email($email) {
    $email = sanitize($email);
    return mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT `user_id` FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '$email'"), 0, 'user_id');
}

function login($username, $password) {
    $user_id = user_id_from_username($username);
    
    mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `logged_in` = 1 WHERE `user_id` = $user_id");

    $username = sanitize($username);
    $password = md5($password);
    
    return (mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '$username' AND `password` = '$password'"), 0) == 1) ? $user_id : false;
}

?>

Please could someone point me in the right direction here?     Also my site works perfectly well with MySQL, do I have to convert it to MySQLi?   Many Thanks   Paul If anyone knows how to solve this, it would be much appreciated. I already have a website template and would prefer to continue with mysqli instead of PDO.

Many Thanks

Paul

I'm suddenly having trouble using my connection to my MySQL database... (yes it was working but now...)

I have the Connection created in an include file and stored in variable $DB, in the main file that includes the file containing the$DB there are other includes for classes. These classes are SUPPOSED to use $DB to connect to and SELECT/UPDATE/INSERT, but for a reason I cant figure out they suddenly stopped seeing $DB. it keeps saying its an undefined variable.

If you need to see code I can post...

Hi Guys,

I am trying to use a script that is available on the net to upload an image into a mysql using BLOB.

how i can make a insert using this fuctions I m learning php, as using this functions (mysqli abstract) but after update wont work any more.

/** insert data array */
public function insert(array $arr)
{

if ($arr)
{
$q = $this->make_insert_query($arr);
$return = $this->modifying_query($q);
$this->autoreset();
return $return;
}
else
{
$this->autoreset();
return false;
}
}

complement

/** insert query constructor */
protected function make_insert_query($data)
{
$this->get_table_info();
$this->set_field_types();
if (!is_array(reset($data)))
{
$data = array($data);
}
$keys = array();
$values = array();
$keys_set = false;
foreach ($data as $data_key => $data_item)
{
$values[$data_key] = array();
$fdata = $this->parse_field_names($data);
foreach ($fdata as $key => $val)
{
if (!$keys_set)
{
if (isset($this->field_type[$key]))
{
$keys[] = '`' . $val['table'] . '`.`' . $val['field'] . '`';
}
else
{
$keys[] = '`' . $val['field'] . '`';
}
}
$values[$data_key][] = $this->escape($val['value'], $this->is_noquotes($key), $this->field_type($key), $this->is_null($key),
$this->is_bit($key));
}
$keys_set = true;
$values[$data_key] = '(' . implode(',', $values[$data_key]) . ')';
}
$ignore = $this->ignore ? ' IGNORE' : '';
$delayed = $this->delayed ? ' DELAYED' : '';
$query = 'INSERT' . $ignore . $delayed . ' INTO `' . $this->table . '` (' . implode(',', $keys) . ') VALUES ' . implode(',',
$values);
return $query;
}

before update this class i used to insert data like this

$db = Sdba::table('users');
$data = array('name'=>'adam');
$db->insert($data);

this method of insert dont works on new class. if i try like this i got empty columns and empty values. thanks for any help complete class download http://goo.gl/GK3s4E

I have a prepared statement class for MYSQL, since in PHP 5 this is now changing to mysqli; I'm looking for some help in changing the code from my existing class to the new mysqli.   I have done some research online about changing from mysql to mysqli but the changes I made seems to only cause issues with connecting to the database.   After many hours of changing the existing file using the research online, I've decided to start again and ask others if they would be ever so kind to help this noob out and point out which parts of the script needs to be changed.    Thank you for reading.

Hi folks,

Complete No0b here when it comes to PHP and MySQL.

I am in the middle of creating a PHP website. What I want to do is have the contents of a page in a MySQL table and have PHP gather the page content and display it on the page.
Here is what I have in my home.tpl file:

Code: [Select]
<?php $query  = "SELECT home, FROM $database_name";
$result = mysql_query($query); ?>
And, in my index.php I simply call that home.tpl to display the data by using:

Code: [Select]
<?php include 'templates/default/home.tpl'; ?>
Now, all I get is a blank page on index.php. Is there something else I should be doing?
Remember, I am a complete No0b!

Thanks folks.

Hi,
So I'm trying to use another mysql connection to complete a function of mine:
Code: [Select]
/**
 * This function checks the ban status of the account.
 * @return      1 if banned
 */
function checkBan()
{
    require("./includes/wow.php");
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wow_logon.accounts WHERE forum_acc= '.$user->data['user_id'].', $connect");
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
    if($row["banned"] == "1")
    {
        return 1;
        $ban_reason = $row["banreason"];
    }
    //$user->data['user_id']
     
    mysql_close($connect);       
}

Inside my "wow" file, I have this:
Code: [Select]
<?PHP
// Connect to db (edit this vars)
                         $conf["host"] = "**";
                         $conf["user"] = "**";
                         $conf["password"] = "**";
                         $conf["db"] = "**";
                         $connect = mysql_connect($conf["host"],$conf["user"],$conf["password"]) or die(mysql_error());
                         mysql_select_db($conf["db"],$connect) or die(mysql_error());
?>

When executing my function I get:
[function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

So, I guess that my function doesn't use the ", $connect" parameter for some reason, any tips?

I have a form that submits a record and saves it to the database, I've got that working already, I'm trying to figure out if there is a cleaner way to delete a record with a button that gets a value from the unique key, in this case 'id'
here is how the delete button looks like:

   // get info from table
$query  = "SELECT id, Title, Message FROM table_name";
$result = mysql_query($query);

//displaying all data
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo"
<div class='status'><h3>{$row['Title']} <br></h3>" . "
         <h5>{$row['Message']} <br><br></h5>"; 
 $id = $row['id']; //trying to get unique key from database
//delete button
 echo "</div>
 <form action='delete.php' method='post' />
 <input type='hidden' name='delete' value='yes' /> 
 <input type='hidden' name='id' value='$id' />
 <input type='submit' value='remove' /></form>";
}

As you can see, i'm trying to give $id a unique value but for some reason i'm not getting it.
The delete.php code looks like this:

if (isset($_POST['delete']))// check if delete was clicked
        {
         $query = "DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id='$id'";
echo "$id Deleted successfully";
}
elseif(!mysql_query($query, $db_server))
{
echo "DELETE failed: $query<br />" .
myql_error() . "<br /><br />";
         }
mysql_close();

I'm new to php and still learning so, if you think there are other ways to do this, please let me know, the button won't do anything to the data.

Thanks in advance

Is there a risk in letting the public access to the phpinto() function?
