Insert to mysql database

[Anonymous]

i've spent a frustrating day trying to get this going:

<?php
# check for expected parameters
if(!isset($_REQUEST['logger'],$_REQUEST['temperature'],$_REQUEST['leafwetness'])){
exit("ERROR: There was a problem authenticating your request, if this problem continues contact hortplus@gmail.com [error code: 100]");
}
$username = "root";
$password = "l5iNw5EOJ91";
$hostname = "hort.com";
$db_name = "premet";

//connection to the database
$link = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
echo "Connected to MySQL<br>";

// setup script parameters
echo "Getting parameters<br>";
$stationID = $_REQUEST['logger'];
date_default_timezone_set('NZ');
$startdate = date('Y/m/d h:m', time());
$stopdate = date('Y/m/d h:m', (time()- (1 * 60)));
$temperature = $_REQUEST['temperature'];
$leafwetness = $_REQUEST['leafwetness'];
echo "$startdate";
// create met data insert
$table = 'met_metdata';
echo "About to insert<br>";

$sql = "INSERT INTO met_metdata (station_id,meteo_var_id,meas_type_id,interval_id,stop_date,start_date,amount) VALUES ('$stationID', 'TD', 'M','M','$stopdate','$startdate','$temperature')";
echo "$sql";

if (mysqli_query($link, $sql)) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($link);
}


$link->close();
?>

But i get these error messages:

What am i doing wrong?

Your error is caused by line 11 which is where your problems start

$link = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)

as you open the database as MySQL and try to use it as MySQLi.

As said, that's just the start of the problems in your code, have a read of this.

you are making connection with mysql and executing query with mysqli.
try one either mysql or mysqli.
