This question already has an answer here:
- mysql_fetch_array()/mysql_fetch_assoc()/mysql_fetch_row()/mysql_num_rows etc… expects parameter 1 to be resource or result 32 answers
I've searched every where on here, and I cannot find the answer to my problem. My registering page works fine, but when I attempt to login I am given the following errors. I'm not entirely sure what to do:
Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in public_html/access/login.php on line 15
AND
Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in public_html/access/login.php on line 29
Here is my code, I've italicised the lines that I'm having problems with:
<?php
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/html5up-aerial/access/functions.php");
$username = trim($_POST['username']);
$password = trim($_POST['password']);
if ($username&&$password) {
session_start();
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT ROOT'] . "db_connect.php");
mysqli_select_db($db_server, $db_database) or
die("Couldn't find db");
$username = clean_string($db_server, $username);
$password = clean_string($db_server, $password);
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'";
$result - mysqli_query($db_server, $query);
*if($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){*
$db_username = $row['username'];
$db_password = $row['password'];
if($username==$db_username&&salt($password)==$db_password){
$_SESSION['username']=$username;
$_SESSION['logged']="logged";
header('Location: home.php');
}else{
$message = "<h1>Incorrect password!</h1>";
}
}else{
$message = "<h1>That user does not exist!</h1>" .
"Please <a href='index.php'>try again</a>";
}
*mysqli_free_result($result);*
require_once("db_close.php");
}else{
$message = "<h1>Please enter a valid username/password</h1>";
}
//header/footer only required if submitting to a seperate page
?>
