In the below bit of code, that last line causes server to bomb out with an HTTP
500 Internal Server Error, but, for example if I comment out that line, and get
it to echo the $sql string value, that I can quite happily get it to run via a
form of query analyzer, returning a record set, etc., but really just wondering
what could be causing this issue, when similar code is running quite happily on
various other pages in same site, using same include files for things like host
name, database values, etc. etc.
Code snippet:
/* there's not much above this aside from setting the values of a couple of
string variables to possibly populated in code below to give them sort of
default values, and a check of $_SESSION variables to make sure they're set */
require("dbInc.php"); //this populates variables to be used for connection
$sql = sprintf("select vEmail, vName from %s where id = %s;", $tableUsers,
$_SESSION["id"]);
$mysqliObj = new mysqli($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPassword, $dbDB);
$res = $mysqliObj->query($sql);
$res->data_seek(0); //this is the line of code that causes page to bomb out
completely
/* there is otherwise code below here that carries on with calling
fetch_assoc() against $res object, sets variable values, closes connection,
etc. etc. */
Will also try implementing more descriptive error management to see if can get
more info from server itself, but it currently literally just renders the
message about HTTP 500 internal server error.
Stay well
