I'm trying to implement these two functions in a separate file functions.php
and call it in index.php
function is_field($column, $table, $requested) {
$is_field_query = "SELECT ".$column." FROM ".$table." WHERE ".$column."='".$requested."'";
$is_field_result = $mysqli->query($is_field_query);
$is_true = $is_field_result->num_rows;
$is_field_result->close();
return $is_true;
}
function get_content($column, $table, $requested) {
$get_content_query = "SELECT ".$column." FROM ".$table." WHERE ".$column."='".$requested."'";
$get_content_result = $mysqli->query($get_content_query);
$get_content_row = $get_content_result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$get_content_content = $get_content_row["content"];
$get_content_result->close();
return $content;
}
I have tried it over and over again and I have no idea why it wont work. The first one is returning 1 for valid or 0 for invalid. The second retrieves the content from a specific cell in the MySQL table. Any help would be much appreciated.
