> How would I go about writing a code that would work.

In Very General Terms,

… write code

… test code

… **describe problems, or no one will be able to help**

… rewrite code

… test again

What do you mean by that? “it doesn’t work” is very, very useless information. Are you still getting the same error regarding `mysqli_fetch_assoc()`? Something else? Does it reach a certain point and then break? Is there any output at all?

I could describe a few things wrong with that code, but I doubt any of them are the problem you’re asking about. Did you note my comment above about *checking if the query was successful* before trying to use the results? Do you have (or have you tried) such a control structure in your code already?
