All right, sorry for so many posts. Anyway, I have created an entire file of code; view_topic.php
, that is just showing a forum post. I know it is messy and not in mysqli, I will be rewriting the ENTIRE code, once I finish this page. Anyway, on to the problem. When you visit any topic, locked or unclicked, it will ALWAYS say, "Sorry, this post is locked." There are no error messages. I have spent all day trying to find the error in my code, and I have turned to the internet for guidance. Here is the whole code, tell me if you need anything else:
<?php
require_once 'core/init.php';
// get value of id that sent from address bar
$id=$_GET['id'];
$sql="SELECT * FROM `forum_question` WHERE id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
if (!$result) { // add this check.
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
$thisql = "SELECT `locked` FROM `forum_question` WHERE `id`='$id'";
$mythisql = mysql_query($thisql);
$mythisql1 = mysql_fetch_array($mythisql);
if ($mythisql1 === false) { // add this check.
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

If anyone can figure out my problem, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.
I can not see you data so it's a guess
use onyl ==0
not ===0
if (logged_in() === true) {
if ($mythisql1['locked']==0) {
?>
or if $mythisql1['locked']
is a string
if (logged_in() === true) {
if ($mythisql1['locked']=='0') {
?>
