mysqli_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given [duplicate]

Answer 1

Mysqli makes use of object oriented programming. Try using this approach instead:

function dbCon() {
        if($mysqli = new mysqli('$hostname','$username','$password','$databasename')) return $mysqli; else return false;
}

if(!dbCon())
exit("");
else $con=dbCon();

if (isset($_GET['part'])){
    $partid = $_GET['part'];
    $sql = "SELECT * 
        FROM $usertable 
        WHERE PartNumber = $partid";

    $result=$con->query($sql_query);
    $row = $result->fetch_assoc();

    $partnumber = $partid;
    $nsn = $row["NSN"];
    $description = $row["Description"];
    $quantity = $row["Quantity"];
    $condition = $row["Conditio"];
}

Let me know if you have any questions, I could not test this code so you might need to tripple check it!
