How do I debug Resource #6 error in MSSQL?

Question

I have a pair of radio buttons and I want to insert its value into my database in the form of bit . Following is the HTML code for the same.

<form  id="Form" method="post" class="overlay"  action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>" >
<input type="hidden" id="Keyy" name="key" value="">
<label for="JRadioYes">Active? Yes</label> <input type="radio" id="JRadioYes" name="activeradio"<?php if (isset($ActiveValue) && $ActiveValue == "yes") echo "checked='checked' "; ?>value="yes"> 
        <label for="JRadioNo">No</label> <input type="radio" id="JRadioNo" name="activeradio"<?php if (isset($ActiveValue) && $ActiveValue == "no") echo "checked='checked' "; ?>value="no">
<input type="submit" id="submitter" name="sub" value="Submit!" onclick="decider(this)">
</form>

The following is the PHP code for inserting into the database

// Check if radio is submitted
if (isset ( $_POST ["activeradio"])) 
{
    //Extract values from $_POST and store in variables
    $select_radio = $_POST ["activeradio"];

    if ($select_radio == "yes") {
        $active_status = true;
        //I also tried assigning 1 instead of true
    }
    if ($select_radio == "no") {
        $active_status = false;
        //I also tried assigning 0 instead of false
    }

    if($_POST["key"] == "update")
    {
        try
        {
            echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
                alert('$active_status');
                </script>";
            $JobInt = intval($JobTypeID);
            $stmt = sqlsrv_query ( $conn, 'EXEC spEditThisJobType @Active = ?', array (
                $active_status
            ) );
        }
        catch(Exception $e)
        {
            echo "Error :". $e;
        }
        if($stmt != null)
        {
            echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Successfully Updated!$stmt');
            </script>";
        }
    }
}

I am able to get the alert which says Successfully Updated, but I am also getting Resource #6 error along with it. Also the database does not get updated.

What is the mistake I have done here? Please guide me. Thank you in advance.

Have a look at the documentation for sqlsrv_query - it returns a resource object, not the result of the query.

Therefore when you echo "Successfully Updated!$stmt" , the resource $stmt is converted to its string representation - Resource #6 .

So you either need to remove $stmt from your echo, or do something with the resource such as reading the data using sqlsrv_fetch_array .
