Have run into a problem in designing a login form.  A persistent error such as:

Warning: mysql_select_db() expects parameter 2 to be resource, null given in /home/ibtib/public_html/chsn/login2.php on line 19

Warning: mysql_query() expects parameter 2 to be resource, null given in /home/ibtib/public_html/chsn/login2.php on line 24

Am not able to resolve this.

    I have CS6 but have not made the change yet.

    The strange thing is that I have another site which has the identical code.  It works just fine.  This might mean the issue is somewhere else but is affecting the lines referenced above.

    Any suggestions for proceeding?


    CS6 is now almost 6 years old and still contains deprecated MySQL behaviors which should never be used on any project.

    One possibility is you could be trying to mix mysql, the old workflow with mysqli, the new workflow?

    First I only changed mysql_select to mysqli_select .  This does not result in any change.

    Then I changed every instance of mysql to mysqli .

    In each case the result is unchanged.  In other words: This does not result in either case does not fix the issue.

    Warning: mysql_select_db() expects parameter 2 to be resource, null given in /home/ibtib/public_html/chsn/login2.phpon line 19

    Warning: mysql_query() expects parameter 2 to be resource, null given in /home/ibtib/public_html/chsn/login2.php on line 24

    Also, when I make the change in the code itself, adding the "i" to mysql = mysqli, the code changes from red to black, which probably means it is no longer active -- my hunch, only.

    It doesnt work like that I'm afraid. mysqli has its only way of connecting and selecting.
