Question

I got two files name func.inc.php and profile.php
I’m trying to fetch the data from the mysql by creating a function get_data($id) in func.inc.php and display in the profile page(profile.php).But the data is not displaying.

<– func.inc.php file –>

<?php session_start();
function  get_data($id){
$query_in="SELECT * FROM user WHERE id ='$id'";
$query=mysql_query($query_in);
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
    $name=$row['name'];
    $book=$row['book'];
    $mobile=$row['mobile'];
    $computer=$row['computer'];
}

} 
?>

<– profile.php –>

<? 
include'func.inc.php';
echo "Name: ".$name;
echo "Book: ".$book;?>

Answer 1

The function should return some value then only the values from the function will be got

   function  get_data($id){
    $query_in= sprintf("SELECT * FROM user WHERE id ='%d'", mysql_real_escape_string($id));
    $query=mysql_query($query_in);
    $result = array();
    while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
        $result[]['name'] = $row['name'];
    }
    return $result;
    } 

<– profile.php –>

$values = get_data($id);

print_R($values);
