Question

here is my db connection code and query code:

// Connecting, selecting database
$link = mysql_connect('MySQLA22.webcontrolcenter.com', 'shudson', '*******')
   or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db('henrybuilt') or die('Could not select database');

$sql = "SELECT ID, vcImageName FROM corp_images WHERE idPage = 6";
$query = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Error");

• There is no ‘or die’ error upon connecting, selecting, or querying
• There is no error_log file
• The sql query executes if I run it in my sql browser

What is going on???

Answer 1

It appears correct…try adding this adapted code from the manual to further debug and see what you learn:

// This shows the actual query sent to MySQL, and the error. Useful for debugging.
if (!$query) {
    $message  = 'Invalid query: ' . mysql_error() . "\n";
    $message .= 'Whole query: ' . $sql;
   die($message);
}

// Use result
// Attempting to print $result won't allow access to information in the resource
// One of the mysql result functions must be used
// See also mysql_result(), mysql_fetch_array(), mysql_fetch_row(), etc.
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
    echo $row['ID'];
    echo $row['vcImageName'];
}
