 //connected to db

}

        $sql = "SELECT TeacherId FROM Teacher WHERE (TeacherUsername = ?)";

        $stmt=$mysqli->prepare($sql);

        if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')

        {

        $time = str_replace(array(' Hrs ', ' Mins ', ' Secs'), array(':', ':', ''), $_SESSION['durationChosen']);

        $insertsql = "INSERT INTO Session (SessionId, SessionTime, SessionDate, SessionWeight, SessionDuration, TotalMarks, ModuleId, TeacherId, Room) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
        $insert = $mysqli->prepare($insertsql);

        for ($i = 1, $n = $_SESSION['sessionNum']; $i <= $n; ++$i) {
            $sessid = $_SESSION['id'] . ($n == 1 ? '' : $i);
            $sessdate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($_SESSION['dateChosen']));

            $insert->bind_param("sssssssss", $sessid, $_SESSION['timeChosen'], $sessdate,
                             $_SESSION['textWeight'], $time, $_SESSION['textMarks'],
                             $_SESSION['module'], $teacherid, $_SESSION['rooms']);

            $insert->execute();

           if ($insert->errno) { echo "Error in insert: $insert->error<br>\r\n"; }

            $insert->close();
        }


        }

UPDATE:

The previous errors have been fixed, but I am now getting 4 warnings which are displayed below:

Warning: mysqli_stmt::bind_param() [mysqli-stmt.bind-param]: Couldn’t fetch mysqli_stmt in /web/stud/…/Mobile_app/insertsession.php on line 177

Warning: mysqli_stmt::execute() [mysqli-stmt.execute]: Couldn’t fetch mysqli_stmt in /web/stud/…/Mobile_app/insertsession.php on line 179

Warning: main() [function.main]: Couldn’t fetch mysqli_stmt in /web/stud/…/Mobile_app/insertsession.php on line 181

Warning: mysqli_stmt::close() [mysqli-stmt.close]: Couldn’t fetch mysqli_stmt in /web/stud/…/Mobile_app/insertsession.php on line 185

As that mysqli is now inserting data into the database, do I deal with these warnings or shall I leave them alone?

PROBLEM IS SOLVED, FOR FUTURE VIEWERS PLEASE LOOK AT DAVE RANDOM’S ANSWER

Answer 1

Simply add this line at the end of your loop and it should work:

$insert->close();

This will work if you don’t still have an unclosed statement from code that is executed before the code you show. You must close the previous statement before another can be executed.

See mysqli_stmt::close() for more information.

EDIT

Try this code:

//connected to db

$sql = "
  SELECT TeacherId
  FROM Teacher
  WHERE TeacherUsername = ?
";

if (!$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql)) {
  // Handle errors with prepare operation here
}

// Bind parameter for statement
$stmt->bind_param("s", $_SESSION['teacherusername']);

// Execute the statement
$stmt->execute();

// This is what matters. With MySQLi you have to bind result fields to
// variables before calling fetch()
$stmt->bind_result($teacherid);

// This populates $teacherid
$stmt->fetch();

// Close the statment
$stmt->close();

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')

{

    $time = str_replace(array(' Hrs ', ' Mins ', ' Secs'), array(':', ':', ''), $_SESSION['durationChosen']);

    $insertsql = "
      INSERT INTO Session
        (SessionId, SessionTime, SessionDate, SessionWeight, SessionDuration, TotalMarks, ModuleId, TeacherId, Room)
      VALUES
        (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
    ";
    if (!$insert = $mysqli->prepare($insertsql)) {
      // Handle errors with prepare operation here
    }

    for ($i = 1, $n = $_SESSION['sessionNum']; $i <= $n; ++$i) {

        $sessid = $_SESSION['id'] . ($n == 1 ? '' : $i);
        $sessdate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($_SESSION['dateChosen']));

        $insert->bind_param("sssssssss", $sessid, $_SESSION['timeChosen'], $sessdate,
                     $_SESSION['textWeight'], $time, $_SESSION['textMarks'],
                     $_SESSION['module'], $teacherid, $_SESSION['rooms']);

        $insert->execute();

        if ($insert->errno) {
          // Handle query error here
        }

        $insert->close();

    }
