I was coding a User database which calls an static method of find_all which calls an query method which in turn returns all the value of a database but i am finding trouble in doing so each time when i try to call it it gives me these error as mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, string given in C:\xampp\htdocs\photogallery\includes\database.php on line 20.What do i do? Here is the code snippet User.php
require_once("database.php");
class User{
public static function find_all(){
global $database;
$sql= "select * from users";
$result_set = $database->query($sql);
return $result_set;
}
public static function find_by_id($id=0){
global $database;
$result_set = $database->query("SELECT FROM users where id={$id}");
$found = $database->fetch_array($result_set);
return $found;
}
}
Database.php
public function query($sql){
echo $sql;
$this->last_query = $sql;
echo $result = mysqli_query($sql,$this->connection);
$this->confirm_query($result);
return $result;
}
public function confirm_query($result){
if(!$result){
die("Database query failed:".mysqli_error());
}
}
and the index.php where the code is called as follows :
<?php
require_once("../includes/database.php");
require_once("../includes/user.php");
$q = User::find_all();
?>
Each time the error comes as mysqli_query expects parameter 1 to be mysqli,string given in C:\xampp\htdocs\photogallery\includes\database.php on line 20.Help me out please??
