I have this php script in an external file trying to get random question

  • 0

I have this php script in an external file trying to get random question from a db:

<?php
//connect to db
require_once('db.php');

$id=rand(0,13); //2nd number = highest ID

if ($resQ = $mysqli->query("SELECT Quest FROM qa WHERE ID='$id'")){

   echo "" . $resQ['Quest'] . ""; //This is Line 9

   $resQ->close();
}
$mysqli->close();
?>

and I call it in my page like this

<body>
code...

<?php require_once('script/m_q.php'); ?>

...code
</body>

But i get error:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type mysqli_result as array in …/m_q.php on line 9

Any help?

    mysqli::query does return a result set, you have to fetch rows in order to access the columns.
