This has been frustrating me for more than an hour, any help would be appreciated.
I have "marked" the offending code with a comment below
$hostt = "localhost";
$db_database = "dekit_ryan";
$db_username = "dekit_ry";
$db_password= "s%g0oM";
$link = mysqli_connect($hostt , $db_username, $db_password, $db_database);
if (!$link) {
printf("Unable to connect to DB, the error is: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
// ************* Problem seems to be with the below line ***********
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, "INSERT INTO campaign(cname,public_ref_name,redirect_to) VALUES (?, ?, ?)");
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($cname, $pub_ref_name, $url);
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
// Check if the row was successfully inserted or spit out an error
if(mysqli_stmt_affected_rows($stmt) != 1)
{
return "Error: Problem inserting a record into the database, exiting..." . mysqli_errno($link);
exit;
}
When I run the script I always get:
Warning: mysqli_stmt_bind_param() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_stmt, string given in /home/dekit3/public_html/adTracking/classes/AdsTracking.php on line 44
Error: Problem inserting a record into the database, exiting...0
