Question

PHP is returning the error:

"FUNCTION archemar_1.concat does not exist"

The only place in my php file where I call the concat function is here, if indeed that is the problem.

$full_name = database::query("SELECT concat (fname, ' ', lname) from cr WHERE email='$email'");

This function runs fine on my local xampp server but not when I upload it to my production server. This makes me think it is a platform issue perhpas with having to do with the PHP or mySQL version and the syntax I’m using. If any more info. is needed I can post it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try without the space between the function name and the parenthesis:

$full_name = database::query("SELECT concat(fname, ' ', lname) from cr WHERE email='$email'");
