How can i get mysql_result() to work - mysql

Question

I am new to programming, I've been trying to create a hit_counter for a demo site I am developing but I keep getting an error for the MySQL_result() function.
$user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
function ip_exists($ip) {
include 'include.php';
global $user_ip;
$query = "SELECT `ip` FROM `ip` WHERE`ip`= '$user_ip'";
$mysql_run = mysqli_query($con, $query);
$query_num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($mysql_run);
if ($query_num_rows == 0) {
return false;
} else if ($query_num_rows >= 1) {
return true;
}
}
function ip_add($ip) {
include 'include.php';
$query = "INSERT INTO `ip` VALUES('$ip')";
$query_run = mysqli_query($con, $query);
}
function update_count() {
include 'include.php';
$query = "SELECT `hits` FROM `hit_count`";
if ($query_run = mysqli_query($con, $query)) {
$count = mysql_result($query_run, 0, 'hits');
$count_inc = $count + 1;
$query_update = "UPDATE ``hit_count` SET `hits`= '$count_inc'";
$query_update_run = mysqli_query($con, $query_update);
}
}
if (!ip_exists($user_ip)) {
update_count();
ip_add($user_ip);
}

Answer 1

You are mixing mysql_*() and mysqli_*() functions; they belong to different MySQL extensions and cannot be interchanged. Since the rest of your code uses mysqli, make sure you don't use any mysql_*() function. The old MySQL PHP extension (that provides the mysql_*() functions) has been deprecated in PHP 5.5 and completely removed in PHP 7.
Using MySQLi, the equivalent of $count = mysql_result($query_run, 0, 'hits') is:
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query_run);
$count = $row['hits'];
