Re: Very New - PHP/SQL Select problem

[Edward Frey]

$conn = ,ysqli_connect(...);
$sql="...";
$result=mysqli_query($conn,$qry) or exit( mysqli_error($conn) );
I changed this to
$conn = mysqli_connect(yada, yada...);
$sql="...";
$result=mysqli_query($conn,$sql) or exit( mysqli_error($conn) );

This got me past the Died or No Database Selected error that I had been getting.

Now I am getting an error with the fetch line.
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo $maxtop;
This coding gives me:Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, object given in /home.....

$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
echo $maxtop;
Gives me NOTHING

I assume I have the same problem with both sets of code but the Warning does not help me much. I'm more than willing to try and fix this if someone can point me in the direction where I can get some information that can understand. I am not very fluent in Geek Speek.
