Hi all,
Currently I am using
$con=mysqli_connect("x","x","x","x");
On my login page to satisfy the the connection variable for mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $x)
This works OK. However I have been told it's very bad to put my connection information on my login page, and I must change it.
So I have moved $con=mysqli_connect("x","x","x","x"); into my class method, and then called for it like so :
$con=new dbclass(); $con->openDB();
However despite this, mysqli_real_escape is returning :
Warning: mysqli_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, object given in C:\xampp\htdocs\c\login.php on line 103 Warning: mysqli_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, object given in C:\xampp\htdocs\c\login.php on line 104 Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, object given in C:\xampp\htdocs\c\login.php on line 109 Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in C:\xampp\htdocs\c\login.php on line 111 Acess denied, wrong username or password?
This is the method I'm using to do this.
function openDB() {
include("/assets/configs/db_config.php");
$conn = mysqli_connect('x', 'x', 'x', 'xxt');
// 1. Create a database connection
if (!$conn)
{
$this->error_msg = "connection error could not connect to the database:! ";
return false;
}
$this->conn = $conn;
return true;
}
Can anyone make any suggestions on what I can do. Any code examples based on my code would also be very useful.
Thanks,
Keith Tyrell
