I have created a foreach loop to add data to a MySQL database and I am receiving the error "mysqli::query(): Couldn't fetch mysqli" after the first line has been added to the database.
PHP DB CONNECTION
$db = new mysqli($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password, $db_database);
if ($db->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $db->connect_error);
}
I then have another chunk of script which collects the data I require. The data is then added to the foreach insert loop
PHP FOREACH
foreach($RSS_DOC->channel->item as $RSSitem)
{
$item_id = md5($RSSitem->title);
$fetch_date = date("Y-m-j G:i:s");
$item_title = $RSSitem->title;
$item_date = date("Y-m-j G:i:s", strtotime($RSSitem->pubDate));
$item_url = $RSSitem->link;
echo "Processing item '" , $item_id , "' on " , $fetch_date , "<br/>";
echo $item_title, " - ";
echo $item_date, "<br/>";
echo $item_url, "<br/>";
$sql = "INSERT INTO rssingest (item_id, feed_url, item_title, item_date, item_url, fetch_date)
VALUES ('" . $item_id . "', '" . $feed_url . "', '" . $item_title . "', '" . $item_date . "', '" . $item_url . "', '" . $fetch_date . "')";
if ($db->query($sql) === TRUE) { // <- THIS IS LINE 170
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $db->error;
}
$db->close();
}
The first line is added to the database without a problem. The second line and every line after that one returns "mysqli::query(): Couldn't fetch mysqli on line 170".
Any ideas where I may be going wrong?
