Question

This is a sample of the code in one of my php pages:

$query_result=mysql_query($query);
$_SESSION['result']=$query_result;

And this is a sample of the code in the other page in the same project:

session_start();    
$row=mysql_fetch_array($_SESSION['result']);

This gives me an error that says ” mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given “… can anyone help me figure this out … thanks 🙂

Answer 1

Query resources don’t persist across sessions.

It is currently impossible to register resource variables in a
session. For example, you cannot create a connection to a database and
store the connection id as a session variable and expect the
connection to still be valid the next time the session is restored.
PHP functions that return a resource are identified by having a return
type of resource in their function definition.
