Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given in
As mentioned in comments, this is a scoping issue. Specifically, $con
is not in scope within your getPosts
function.
You should pass your connection object in as a dependency, eg
function getPosts(mysqli $con) {
// etc
I would also highly recommend halting execution if your connection fails or if errors occur. Something like this should suffice
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT); // throw exceptions
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","xxxx","xxxx","xxxxx");
getPosts($con);
use global scope on your $con and put it inside your getPosts() function like so.
function getPosts() {
global $con;
$query = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM Blog");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query))
{
echo "<div class=\"blogsnippet\">";
echo "<h4>" . $row['Title'] . "</h4>" . $row['SubHeading'];
echo "</div>";
}
}
