i have set my configdb.php on a different page and include it on my other php pages..
here is my configdb.php
<?php
$hostname ="localhost";
$username ="root";
$password ="";
$db ="practicedb";
$connect = mysqli_connect($hostname,$username,$password) or die("cannot connect to server");
mysqli_select_db($connect,$db) or die("database not found!");
?>
these are the errors that i get:
Notice: Undefined variable: configdb in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/practicesystem/add.php on line 14
Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/practicesystem/add.php on line 14
Warning: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/practicesystem/add.php on line 15
Notice: Undefined variable: configdb in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/practicesystem/add.php on line 28
this is my add.php where i INSERT items into database from the $_POST method from a previous php page..
<?php
include "configdb.php";
$studid=$_POST['studid'];
$lastname=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['lastname']);
$firstname= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['firstname']);
$middlename= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['middlename']);
$email=$_POST['email'];
$check = "SELECT * from studinfo where stud_id = '".$studid."'";
$qry = mysqli_query($configdb,$check);
$num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($qry);
if($num_rows > 0){
// Here we are checking if username is already exist or not.
echo "The person you have entered is already existing. Please try again.";
echo '<a href="index.php">Try Again</a>';
exit;
}
$query = "INSERT INTO studinfo (stud_id,lastname,firstname,middlename,email) VALUES ('".$studid."','".$lastname."','".$firstname."','".$middlename."','".$email."');";
//echo $query;
mysqli_query($configdb, $query);
echo "Thank You for Registration.";
echo '<a href="index.php">Click Here</a> to login you account.';
exit;
?>
i don't know and i am not sure what to put on the first parameter of mysqli_query..
i tried putting this code $con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","practicedb"); it worked but its not practical putting that on every php page where i should connect to the database...
