mysqli query not working when variable inserted
- by Freelancer
Hi Everyone,
I need an extra pair of eyes! I have a super-simple query:
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT post_id FROM blog_posts WHERE post_uri = 'the-test-post' LIMIT 1");
$row = $result->fetch_array();
and this gives me the post_id. However, if I insert a variable for post_uri, the result is empty. Ways I tried of which none worked:
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT post_id FROM blog_posts WHERE post_uri = '".$post_uri."' LIMIT 1");
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT post_id FROM blog_posts WHERE post_uri = ".$post_uri." LIMIT 1");
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT post_id FROM blog_posts WHERE post_uri = $post_uri LIMIT 1");
I have similar query on another page working just right, so that confuses me even more. Help appreciated.
