I am new to php and I am trying to get products name from my product table of database and storing that data into $product array. I am getting error
count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in C:\xampp\htdocs\moed\cart.php on line 57
$sqlprod = "SELECT pname FROM products limit 10";
$sqlprice = "SELECT price FROM products limit 10";
$result = $conn->query($sqlprod);
$result1 = $conn->query($sqlprice);
if ($result->num_rows And $result1->num_rows > 0) {
$products = array();
$amounts = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sqlprod)){
$products[] = $row;
}
while($row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($sqlprice)){
// add each row returned into an array
$products[] = $row1;
}
}
// I am getting error of undefined variable products at the for loop below
if ( !isset($_SESSION["total"]) ) {
$_SESSION["total"] = 0;
for ($i=0; $i< count($products); $i++) {
$_SESSION["qty"][$i] = 0;
$_SESSION["amounts"][$i] = 0;
}
}
Your code is totally messed up.
There's no need for multiple queries, just do one query that fetches both columns. You can still save each column in a separate array if you want.
When you're fetching, you need to use $result
, not $sqlprod
.
Since you're using the mysqli
extension, you need to use mysqli_fetch_assoc()
, not mysql_fetch_assoc()
. But since you're using the OO style, it would be better to use $result->fetch_assoc()
.
You were putting the prices in $products
, not $amounts
.
You don't need a loop to create an array with the same elements multiple times, you can use array_fill()
for this.
$sqlprod = "SELECT pname, price FROM products limit 10";
$result = $conn->query($sqlprod);
$products = array();
$amounts = array();
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){
$products[] = $row['pname'];
$amounts[] = $row['price'];
}
if ( !isset($_SESSION["total"]) ) {
$_SESSION["total"] = 0;
$_SESSION['qty'] = $_SESSION['amounts'] = array_fill(0, count($products), 0);
}
