我在php中编写一个madlib，使用mysql将其保存到db，然后尝试按降序排出每个新故事

I am not sure how to get the story out of the db, I am getting this error:

Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, string given in /home/ubuntu/workspace/projects/project_1/madlib.php on line 33 Call Stack: 0.0009 248160 1. {main}() /home/ubuntu/workspace/projects/project_1/madlib.php:0 0.0058 257240 2. mysqli_fetch_array() /home/ubuntu/workspace/projects/project_1/madlib.php:33

$query2 = "SELECT * FROM my_game WHERE id ORDER BY desc";

  //while loop grabs name from array

    //outputs story       
    echo $full_story;

}

//close connection 
mysqli_close($dbc);

You are not executing the query before trying to fetch. The query is just a string in $query2.

You need to execute the query by calling mysqli->query

Since you already did this above it looks like you just missed it all together on the second query by accident. ( I've done this before).

After this line

$query2 = "SELECT * FROM my_game WHERE id ORDER BY desc";

You can do something like

 //get query result from db  
$result2 = mysqli_query($dbc, $query2)
        or die('Error querying database.');

and change this accordingly

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result2)) {
