converting from mysql to mysqli

[Lional Hewitt]

Hi

I am struggling a bit to convert mysql to mysqli and some things don't seem to be working and I have been battling for hours



I have this code that gives me the following error message



Warning: mysqli_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given

while (($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) !== false) {



$names[$row['user_name']] = $row['user_id'];


return $names;
}


Thank you in advance
