Question

The error I get:

...mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given...

awayid is in the address bar properly. I can print it out just fine, but for some reason the following code gives me the above error.

$result = mysql_query("select * from team where id=" . $_GET['awayid']);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

EDIT Tried the mysql_error(). It seems I forgot to select a database… however, even why I use mysql_select_db('gamelydb'); I still get the mysql error No database selected

Answer 1

Your query is failing… Therefore $result is set to false.

$result = mysql_query("select * from team where id=" . $_GET['awayid']);
var_dump($result); // bool(false)

Call mysql_error() to get the error message for your query:

echo mysql_error();
