Hi, can anyone please help me why I got this error every I uploaded files.
Error: Quote:
Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\uploadingfiles\add_file.php on line 89
Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\uploadingfiles\add_file.php on line 90
Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\uploadingfiles\add_file.php on line 92
| Here is the code on the said warning message: - # Gather all required data
-
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($dbLink, $_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
-
$mime = mysql_real_escape_string($dbLink, $_FILES['uploaded_file']['type']);
-
$size = $_FILES['uploaded_file']['size'];
-
$data = mysql_real_escape_string($dbLink, file_get_contents($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name']));
And because of that error the name and mime of the files I uploaded didn't appear, thats why I cannot properly download the files. Maybe because the mime/filetype is not present.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys..

Did you swap back to the old mysql extension, or did you just forget the "i" in the function name?
The old mysql_real_escape_string function expects the first parameter to be a string and the second one to be the mysql connection resource.
Your code has it backwards.
The improved mysqli_real_escaped_string function (note the "i" in the function name) expects the first parameter to be a mysqli object, and the second one to be a string.
Your code has the parameters right, but leaves out the "i" in the function name.

You have the parameters of the function in reverse order.
One would think the solution would be obvious...
The database link is supposed to go after the data.
(Or not at all. That would work to.)
Keep in mind that the example code in my article is meant for a different function, as I explained in my first post in this thread.
Take a look at the examples in the links both myself and Dormilich posted. See how the parameters are used there.
