function DisplayPoints()
{
mysql_select_db('$database');
$qry = "Select points from $this->tablename where username='$username' and password='$pwd' and confirmcode='y'";
$rows = mysql_fetch_array($qry);
$points = $rows['points'];
echo " $points";
}
My idea was to make kind of points system in website. When user logins into page then in main page header you can see how much points you have.
mysql_fetch_array needs a result resource and not an SQL query. See documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php
first get the result:
$result = mysql_query($qry);
and then fetch the array
$rows = mysql_fetch_array($result);
As Dennis pointed out, you shouldnt be using mysql_* anymore. Use PDO or mysqli_* instead.
