Question

I can’t figure this out. This query inserts a new record with all the fields as needed but for whatever reason, it gives me a 500 server error after the insertion returning neither true or false:

$connection = Database::getConnection();
$query = "INSERT INTO reviews 
          VALUES ('0', (SELECT tbl_id FROM table WHERE brand = '$brand' AND model = '$model'), 
          (SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE user_name = '$user'), '$overall', '$lvalue', 
          '$pvalue', '$dvalue', '$vvalue', '$summary', 
          '$review', '$date')";
$result = $connection -> query($query);

   if (!$result || $result -> affected_rows < 1) {
      $result -> close();
      return FALSE;
   } else {
      $result -> close();
      return TRUE;
  }

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Answer 1

$result contains a instance of mysqli_result which DOES NOT have a close() method.

If you want to close the connection, it should be

$connection->close();
