I am pretty new to PHP and MySQL and I just can't figure this one out. I have searched all around the forum but haven't found an answer I can make sense of. I originally was using mysql_fetch_assoc() but I could only search numbers and I received errors when searching for letters as well. I hope I am on the right track here. Thank you in advance for all your help!
$con = mysqli_connect($hostname,$username,$password) or die ("");
mysqli_select_db($con, $dbname);
if (isset($_GET['part'])){
$partid = $_GET['part'];
$sql = 'SELECT *
FROM $usertable
WHERE PartNumber = $partid';
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
$partnumber = $partid;
$nsn = $row["NSN"];
$description = $row["Description"];
$quantity = $row["Quantity"];
$condition = $row["Conditio"];
}
Answer
This happens when your result is not a result (but a "false" instead).
You should change this line
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE PartNumber = $partid';
to this:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE PartNumber = $partid";
because the " can interprete $variables while ' cannot.
Works fine with integers (numbers), for strings you need to put the $variable in single quotes, like
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE PartNumber = '$partid' ";
If you want / have to work with single quotes, then php CAN NOT interprete the variables, you will have to do it like this:
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM '.$usertable.' WHERE string_column = "'.$string.'" AND integer_column = '.$number.';
