This question already has an answer here:
I have created a form so students can input their information. All the data that students input will be stored in a MYSQL database. However, when the submit button is clicked after data is entered into form fields, a few error messages are displayed on the screen. These are the following error messages:
Warning: mysqli_stmt_bind_param() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_stmt, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\MYSQL\studentadded.php on line 317
Warning: mysqli_stmt_execute() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_stmt, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\MYSQL\studentadded.php on line 327
Warning: mysqli_stmt_affected_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_stmt, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\MYSQL\studentadded.php on line 331 Error Occurred
Warning: mysqli_error() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given in C:\xampp\htdocs\MYSQL\studentadded.php on line 357
Warning: mysqli_stmt_close() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_stmt, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\MYSQL\studentadded.php on line 361
This is the code:
