Check your return values. A large percentage of questions on StackOverflow would be solved simply by checking that return values actually are what they are assumed to be. — Sverri M. Olsen, Feb 09 '15 at 13:18

Means your query doesn't return any result use a check for count return rows

if(count($row_max) > 0) {
  // your code
}

also you can check with more ways with

is_array($row_max) or isset($row_max['reports'])

and according to array result you need to use array index like

if ($row_max[2] == 4 && $row_max[3] >= time() )

Additionally I suspect that $row_logs['reporter'] should become $rep_logs['reporter'] – jacek_podwysocki Feb 09 '15 at 13:17
@jacek_podwysocki nope `$row_logs['reporter']` is correct cause OP storing `$rep_logs['reporter'] `result in `$row_logs['reporter']` – Rakesh Sharma Feb 09 '15 at 13:20
`$row_logs['reporter']` not worked and also i tested with `count` its return result but also have same error and with `isset` just have white page!! – canfos Feb 09 '15 at 13:25
i use this code for error reporting but just have this 2 errors `ini_set('display_errors',1); ini_set('display_startup_errors',1); error_reporting(-1);` – canfos Feb 09 '15 at 13:29
print_r($row_max); and post your result – Rakesh Sharma Feb 09 '15 at 13:32
This is result : `Array ( [0] => 24 [1] => maximum [2] => 2 [3] => 1423572729 ) ` and the 0 = id , 1 = reports, 2 = rep_expire – canfos Feb 09 '15 at 13:38
try `if ($row_max[1] == 4 && $row_max[2] >= time() )` use array index what array returning – Rakesh Sharma Feb 09 '15 at 13:42
use array index 2 and 3 according to array – Rakesh Sharma Feb 09 '15 at 13:44
