php - Custom Forum function not returning correct ID? -


i decided use forum made year ago website working on now, , works (after revisions) except after creating topic, not take new post. here functions supposed accomplish that:

function new_post($name) {     $sqlpost = "select `id` `forum_question` `name`='$name' order `datetime`     asc limit 1";     $mysqlpost = mysql_query($sqlpost);     return $mysqlpost; } 

and here how apply that: <a href="view_topic.php?id=<?php echo new_post($name); ?>">view post</a> (keep in mind $name defined earlier in document)

this url takes me to, after creating post: http://localhost/nu-bio/view_topic.php?id=resource%20id%20#10

thanks reading , hope can help. also: know should using mysqli. updating once next few things want finish done~

return values result_query()

for select, show, describe, explain , other statements returning resultset, mysql_query() returns resource on success, or false on error.

<?php   function new_post($name) {   $id = 0;   $sqlpost = "select id forum_question name='".$name."' order datetime asc limit 1";   $mysqlpost = mysql_query($sqlpost);   if (!$mysqlpost) {      die('invalid query: ' . mysql_error());   }   else   {      $array = mysql_fetch_assoc($mysqlpost);        $id = $array['id'];   }   return $id;  }  ?>
