I'm getting the following error and I don't see whats wrong with my
line. Any ideas?

*Fatal error*: Function name must be a string in
*/var/www/sites/intra-test/contract/perform.php* on line *57*

and my snippet of code is:

if ( $_POST["perform"] == "View Contracts" )
{

$mysqli_get_userid = "SELECT user_id from user where email =
'".$_SESSION["username"]."'";

$mysqli_get_userid_result = $mysqli_query($mysqli, // line 57
$mysqli_get_userid) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));

while ($userid_result =
mysqli_fetch_array($mysqli_get_userid_result))
{
$user_id = $userid_result["user_id"];
}
}

Change:

$mysqli_query($mysqli,

.... to:

mysqli_query($mysqli,

Otherwise you're declaring mysqli_query() as a variable.

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.

$mysqli_query should be mysqli_query (note: no $ ). You have an unset
value, ie. null and you can't have a function called NULL (as the value).
