Question

This is so basic and i can’t figure out why it won’t work. i asume it has to do with the fetch_mysql_array($row). here is my code and $user_id is set:

$posts=mysql_query("SELECT title, description FROM posts WHERE user_id = '$user_id'") or die(mysql_error()) ;

while ($row=fetch_mysql_array($posts, MYSQL_NUM)) {

for ($i=0;$i < count($row); $i++) {

    echo $row[$i]."&nbsp;";

}

    echo"<br /> <br />";                
}

thanks in advance for any help…

Answer 1

It’s mysql_fetch_array; not fetch_mysql_array, which you shouldn’t be using anyway. mysql_ functions are no longer maintained and are officially deprecated. See the red box? Learn about prepared statements instead, and use PDO or MySQLi – this article will help you decide which. If you choose PDO, here is a good tutorial.

You also don’t need the for loop inside the while loop.
