Few problems

[Seif]

I encountered a few problems with getElementData and mysql_escape_string.

For some odd reason, this line is giving me 2 warning/errors:

local name = mysql_escape_string(serversql, getElementData(id, "name"))

mysql_escape_string is from a module but it's well used. The error says "Bad Argument @ 'getElementData'". How?

"id" is going through a loop under an element that I created.

for id in ipairs(getElementsByType("customelement")) do

And of course the element is created before the function is called(this is called when the resource stops and the element is created when the resource starts). That's how I made it:

local id = createElement("customelement", row[2])

What is wrong?

My other problem is pretty similar. when I try to compare getElementData, it says also bad argument. I suppose it's related.

What does the table/array you loop through look like?

When looping through arrays in lua you usually use "for key, value in ipairs [...]"

I don't know if you didn't specify a variable for holding the value of the current on purpouse but in any case "id" will always hold the key(index) to an array's field.

Hm I fixed the problem. I had to put _, before defining the loop variable.

I'd still sugget you to take a look at these two tutorials:
