PHP - Mysqli - Fetch - Array Expects Parameter 1 To Be Mysqli - Result, Boolean Given in - Stack Overflow

The document discusses a PHP error where mysqli_fetch_array() expects the first parameter to be a mysqli_result object but is receiving a boolean. The error occurs when querying a MySQL database on localhost but not on a live server. The issue is likely that the query is failing and returning false instead of a result set. Adding error handling after mysqli_query() can identify why the query is failing. Using prepared statements helps prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities.

4/12/2018 php - mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in - Stack Overflow

mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:


mysql_fetch_array()/mysql_fetch_assoc()/mysql_fetch_row()/mysql_num_rows etc… expects parameter 1 to be resource 31 answers

I'm have some trouble checking if an FB User_id already exists in my db (if it doesn't it should then accept user as a new one and else just load the canvas
app). I ran it on my hosting server and there was no problem, but on my localhost it gives me the following error:

mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in

Here's my code:

<?
$fb_id = $user_profile['id'];
$locale = $user_profile['locale'];

if ($locale == "nl_NL") {
//Checking User Data @ WT-Database
$check1_task = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `fb_id` = " . $fb_id . " LIMIT 0, 30 ";
$check1_res = mysqli_query($con, $check1_task);
$checken2 = mysqli_fetch_array($check1_res);
print $checken2;
//If User does not exist @ WT-Database -> insert
if (!($checken2)) {
$add = "INSERT INTO users (fb_id, full_name, first_name, last_name, email) VALUES
('$fb_id', '$full_name', '$first_name', '$last_name', '$email')";
mysqli_query($con, $add);
}
//Double-check, User won't be able to load app on failure inserting to database
if (!($checken2)) {
echo "Excuse us " . $first_name . ". Something went terribly wrong! Please try
again later!";
exit;
}
} else {
include ('sorrylocale.html');
exit;
}

I've read it has something to do with my query being wrong, but it has worked on my hosting provider so that can't be it!

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

2 You need to add error handling for your queries so you can find out exactly why it is failing. You also have a significant SQL injection vulnerability. – Mike Brant Mar 15 '13 at

1 Please, please use the mysqli prepared statement feature to properly escape your SQL queries. – tadman Mar 15 '13 at 18:59

That query is failing and returning false .

put this after mysqli_query() to see whats going on.

if (!$check1_res) {
printf("Error: %s\n", mysqli_error($con));
exit();
}
