PHP Tutorial: Blog(Including commenting)

Post by mrcool123 »

Hey guys,

I have a problem concerning this tutorial,too, so is it okay to use this thread?

My problem is that blog_list.php says:
Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\blog\core\inc\posts.inc.php on line 38
literally a thousand times before saying:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\blog\core\inc\posts.inc.php on line 38
the concerend line in posts.inc.php is:

while (($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($posts)) !== false){ // <- this line
                 
$rows[]=array(

'id'		=>$row['id'],
'title'		=>$row['title'],
'user'		=>$row['user'],
'date'		=>$row['date'],
'preview'	=>$row['preview'],
'total_comments'=>($row['total_comments']===null) ? 0: $row['total_comments'],
'last_comment'	=>($row['last_comment']===null) ? 'never': $row['last_comment']
                   
);


Can you see the mistake? probably you do :D

please excuse my awful english and best regards from cologne!

That kind of error usually means that the query is failing for some reason.

If you add a
die(mysql_error());
after the mysql_query() line just above the loop it should tell you why.

Also could you post the SQL here and I will take a look :D

it does:
No database selected
But i selected it in the init.inc.php, doesen´t i?
<?php
mysql_connect('127.0.0.1', 'blogger', 'blog');
mysql_select_db('blog');

include ('inc/posts.inc.php');
include ('inc/comments.inc.php');
?>

the sql should be the same as in your videos:
<?php
     
function valid_pid($pid){
            $pid = (int)$pid;
           
            $total = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`post_id`) FROM `posts` WHERE `post_id` = {$pid}");
            $total = mysql_result($total, 0);
           
            if ($total !=1){
                    return false;
            }else{
                    return true;
            }
    }
     
    function get_posts(){

Ah, when you get "no database selected" after a mysql_select_db() call it means the database didn't exist.
