this is my php file
<?php
/*
* Following code will create a new product row
* All product details are read from HTTP Post Request
*/
// array for JSON response
$response = array();
// check for required fields
if (isset($_POST['userName']) && isset($_POST['userContact']) && isset($_POST['userAddress']) && isset($_POST['userStore']) && isset($_POST['userRequest'])) {
$userName = $_POST['userName'];
$userContact = $_POST['userContact'];
$userAddress = $_POST['userAddress'];
$userStore = $_POST['userStore'];
$userRequest = $_POST['userRequest'];
// include db connect class
require_once __DIR__ . '/db_connect.php';
// connecting to db
$db = new DB_CONNECT();
// mysql inserting a new row
$result = "INSERT INTO userrequests(userName, contactNumber, userAddress, storeList, requestBody) VALUES('$userName', '$userContact', '$userAddress', '$userStore', '$userRequest')";
// check if row inserted or not
if (mysqli_query($result,$db)) {
// successfully inserted into database
$response["success"] = 1;
$response["message"] = "Product successfully created.";
// echoing JSON response
echo json_encode($response);
echo $result;
} else {
// failed to insert row
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "IsitdispllayingthusOops! An error occurred.";
// echoing JSON response
echo json_encode($response);
}
} else {
// required field is missing
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "Required field(s) is missing";
// echoing JSON response
echo json_encode($response);
}
?>
And this is my db_connect.php
<?php
/**
* A class file to connect to database
*/
class DB_CONNECT {
// constructor
function __construct() {
// connecting to database
$this->connect();
}
// destructor
function __destruct() {
// closing db connection
$this->close();
}
/**
* Function to connect with database
*/
function connect() {
// import database connection variables
require_once __DIR__ . '/db_config.php';
// Connecting to mysql database
$con = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE) or die(mysqli_error());
// Selecing database
$db = mysqli_select_db($con,DB_DATABASE) or die(mysqli_error()) or die(mysqli_error());
// returing connection cursor
return $con;
}
/**
* Function to close db connection
*/
function close() {
// closing db connection
}
}
?>
It seems that there's something wrong with my code and this is the error I got mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, string given in. Anyone knows how to solve this ? I have searched through StackOverFlow regarding this and tried all the solutions but still cant be solved.
