When I run this command mysqli_query it is given results in the error below

Code:
mysqli_query("INSERT INTO `username`.`email` (`userinfo`) VALUES ('".$email."')");
"Warning: mysqli_query() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given in"

Why am I getting this error above? what does it mean and how to fix it?

You may need to declare the table again with your variables like

Code:
mysqli_query("INSERT INTO `username`.`email` (`username`.`userinfo`) VALUES ('".$email."')");
I would say the problem has something to do with your table selection `username`.`email` that just doesn't look right.

You are not telling it what mysql connection to use.

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db");
mysqli_query($con, "INSERT INTO Persons (FirstName,LastName,Age) VALUES ('Glenn','Quagmire',33)");

Does this affect to the query of The OP asking?

If we use a normal MySQL connection like

Code:
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>
or open a Connection with MySQLi

Code:
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";

// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password);

// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
then this command

Code:
mysqli_query("INSERT INTO `username`.`email` (`userinfo`) VALUES ('".$email."')");
could have errors or didn't work?

Since it is not being connected to any mysql connection it will never work. You have to tell it what database to query.

Also it is looking for a table named usernameemail as it is written. It is then looking for a field named userinfo to insert the value of $email.

Also, never try to mix mysql and mysqli syntax. They are not compatible.
