Wishlist.php Error?

[jasont8 0]

so when starting up the wishlist.php using the book scripts of the second site, I'm getting an error that 

An error occurred in script '/var/www/html/ex2/html/wishlist.php' on line 81:

mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given
Array. 

 

what does this error and mean. How do I go about fix it? Is it a problem with the data in the database?

[Larry 423]

Yeah, that error means your database query broke and didn't return any rows. I would print out the query being run and run it using another interface (like the mysql client) to see what's going on. It's normally an issue with the data or database.

I'm currently using phpmyadmin if that counts but I'm not sure how to go about fixing this problem and I been stuck for a while. I just began using mysql. do you need to see the code?

[Larry 423]

You can use phpMyAdmin. I don't need to see the code (unless you made a mistake). wishlist.php uses stored procedures like get_wish_list_contents. I'd confirm that you created those in the database.

looking though phpmyadmin, I don't have the tables for the wishlist like get_wish_list_contents, what are the tables required for the wishlist and how do I make them?

[Larry 423]

Those aren't tables, they are stored procedures. See the instructions in Chapters 7 & 8.

so i look at the myphpadmin to check that I have the stored procedures from the book  and apparently I do. I'm still getting this error and I don't know why.

That's very helpful. If you look at the error message, you'll see the problem:

[error] => Table 'ecommerceshop.wish_lists' doesn't exist

thank you, I been wondering what was the error for the longest time.

[Larry 423]

Yeah, anytime a database query is not working you'll want to print out and look at the detailed error message to see why.

I was trying to run my php code on my home computer using Apache as my web server I got Undefined variable error:

Notice: Undefined variable: error in /var/www/html/contact.php on line 209.

However my php code works just fine on my hosting web server. So Im guessing this is some kind of settings but I dont know where. Can someone help me? I did not find any solution online.

 

Thanks in advance

What's the code you're using?
