Question

$mysql = mysql_query("SELECT pass, user, id, folder, http, spacelimit, language, theme, permbrowse, permupload, permcreate, permuser, permadmin, permdelete, permmove, permchmod, permget, permdeleteuser, permedituser, permmakeuser, permpass, permrename, permedit, permsub, formatperm, status, recycle, permprefs FROM ".$GLOBALS['config']['db']['pref']."users WHERE user='".mysql_real_escape_string($user)."'");
    list ($dbpass, $dbuser, $userid, $userdir, $http, $limit, $language, $theme, $permbrowse, $permupload, $permcreate, $permuser, $permadmin, $permdelete, $permmove, $permchmod, $permget, $permdeleteuser, $permedituser, $permmakeuser, $permpass, $permrename, $permedit, $permsub, $formatperm, $status, $recycle, $permprefs) = mysql_fetch_row($mysql);

The error is on the 3rd line. It says

Warning: mysql_fetch_row() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean
given in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 83

I tried looking it up and I’m having trouble finding a fix.

I know that some of the methods have been deprecated but I’m just trying to fix this so I can get it 2 work (for now). Any help would be appreciated.

You’re running mysql_query(mysql_query(...)).

$mysql = "SELECT pass, user, id, folder, http, spacelimit, language, theme, permbrowse, permupload, permcreate, permuser, permadmin, permdelete, permmove, permchmod, permget, permdeleteuser, permedituser, permmakeuser, permpass, permrename, permedit, permsub, formatperm, status, recycle, permprefs FROM ".$GLOBALS['config']['db']['pref']."users WHERE user='".mysql_real_escape_string($user)."'"; 

echo $mysql; // Get the output here and run it directly to see if it succeeds

$result = mysql_query($mysql) or die(mysql_error()); // add `or die(mysql_error())` to output an error if the query fails
