This code:
$maybeDeleteClient=($_GET["maybeDeleteClient"]);
$maybeDeleteClient=mysql_real_escape_string($db_billing, $maybeDeleteClient); // this is line 53
gives this error:
"Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 2 to be resource, string given in /home/metheuser/public_html/somedir/billing_manageClients.php on line 53"
but the docs here:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.real-escape-string.php
say:
"Procedural style:
string mysqli_real_escape_string ( mysqli $link , string $escapestr )
"
..and even go on to give an example using a string for that 2nd param.
Why is it complaining to me?
p.s. what is a "resource" compared to a string?
