FULL ERROR: ( ! ) Warning: mysqli_select_db() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, string given in C:\wamp64\www\link.php on line 4
Hello guys I have recently started learning PHP and I have bumped into this erorr that is listed above. I can’t seem to fix it AT ALL! If anyone has a fix for it please list it below! Thanks!
Here is my code:
[php]<?php
@include_once ‘settings.php’;
//session_start
$link = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password); //MySQL Host, Username, password
$db_selected = mysqli_select_db(‘database’, $link); //MySql database
mysqli_query(“SET NAMES utf8”);
function fetchinfo($rowname, $tablename, $finder, $findervalue)
{
if ($finder == “1”)
$result = mysqli_query(“SELECT $rowname FROM $tablename”);
else
$result = mysqli_query(“SELECT $rowname FROM $tablename WHERE $finder =$findervalue”);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
return $row[$rowname];
}
function secureoutput($string)
{
$string = mysqli_real_escape_string($string);
$string = htmlentities(strip_tags($string));
$string = str_replace(’>’, ‘’, $string);
$string = str_replace(’<’, ‘’, $string);
$string = htmlspecialchars($string);
return $string;
}
?>[/php]
