PHP - How To Get This Variable Into A Query

I have a template page that opens with a GO click from a drop-down in a different page. The variable is being passed through to the URL and in the GET statement. However, my PHP code is producing the following error: Quote

Warning: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in /data/23/2/100/53/2263053/user/2487001/htdocs/myalaskacenter/events/venues/test_venues-results.php on line 52

Hi

This does not make sense to me, I hope someone can tell me why this query don't work:

Code: [Select]
safe_query("UPDATE ".PREFIX."cup_challenges SET reply_date='$postdate', $select_map $select_date challenged_info='".$_POST['info']."', status='2' WHERE chalID='".$_GET['challID']."'");;
and this query does work:

Code: [Select]
safe_query("UPDATE ".PREFIX."cup_challenges SET reply_date='$postdate', map1='".$_POST['map1']."', map2='".$_POST['map2']."', map3='".$_POST['map3']."', date1='".$_POST['date1']."', date2='".$_POST['date2']."', date3='".$_POST['date3']."', date4='".$_POST['date4']."', challenged_info='".$_POST['info']."', status='2' WHERE chalID='".$_GET['challID']."'");

Variables in $select_map and $select_date makes the query fail but when I copy/paste this (bold) in query it works:

$select_map = map1='".$_POST['map1']."', map2='".$_POST['map2']."', map3='".$_POST['map3']."',
$select date = date1='".$_POST['date1']."', date2='".$_POST['date2']."', date3='".$_POST['date3']."', date4='".$_POST['date4']."',

am I using the variable in query incorrectly?

I got my search page error and the server pop up below message:   Notice: Undefined variable: query in /home/tz005/public_html/COMP1687/search.php on line 64
Minimum length is 3   Where should I make a correction in the script? Here is my php script:   <?php  

Can anyone point out how to write a MySQL query with a PHP variable in the WHERE clause. I've tried {} {'xx'} and () and it still doesn't work.

Here is the code



<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

 include ("include/connect.php");
 include ("include/session.php");

$username = $session->userinfo['username'];

$result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM customer WHERE user = {'$username'} ");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
$custemail = $row['email'];
  }

echo "Session username: " . $username . "";
echo "Session customer email: " . $custemail . "";
?>



So I'm trying to show the email address for a record that matches the username of the user logged in.

I really appreciate the help.

Hi Guys.

I need your help. Is it possible to store results from sql query as a variable. I am basically doing a few joins to get this result and I wanted to know if this was possible.

I am using the following code in PDO query

$this->query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id'); // line 11
$this->bind(':id', $_SESSION['users']['id']);       // line 12

it is working on local server, but on live server its giving some error or warning (i am not sure)

PHP Notice:  Undefined index: users in ... on line 12

but the query is still working correctly.

Please guide me what should i do to stop getting this error or warning or notice. Thanks🙂

I am working on a room availability calendar that has links for each day. When you click on a link it passes the day month and year in the URL to another page like this:


echo "<td class=\"today\"> <a href=\"status.php?month=$month&day=$day_num&year=$year\">$day_num</a> </td>\n";


I can see that the correct information is being passed through the URL like this:

Code: [Select]
.../status.php?month=12&day=9&year=2010

Then the information is supposed to be passed to the MySQL query, but here is my question: How do I do this? I have a DB table set up, but the query is currently returning a blank page.

Here is my current query:


// connects to server and selects database.
include ("../includes/dbconnect.inc.php");

// table name
$table_name = "availability"; 

// query database for events

$result = mysql_query ("SELECT id FROM $table_name WHERE month=$month AND year=$year AND day=$day_num LIMIT 1") or die();

if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0 ) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
extract($row);
echo "<h1>Current availability for ".$row['month'] . "/" . $row['day'] . "/" . $row['year'] . "</h1>";
echo " <ul>";
echo " <li>Earth Room: " . $row['earth_room'] . "</li>";
echo " <li>Air Room: " . $row['air_room'] . "</li>";
echo " <li>Fire Room: " . $row['fire_room'] . "</li>";
echo " <li>Water Room: " . $row['water_room'] . "</li>";
echo " </ul>";
}
}
else {
echo " <ul>";
echo " <li>Currently no reservations.</li>";
echo " </ul>";
}


Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

hello all!

my query, when executed, generates an error i don't understand.    i've seen similar entries, but i couldn't find one that related to this particular problem.  either that, or i'm a retard and didn't see it.  apologies if that's the case.  here's the error:

-->  Database Query Failed: Unknown column 'client_id' in 'where clause'  <--

i triple checked the database table and, YUP, the column is correctly named "client_id" and it is an INT column, so it doesn't need to be encapsulated with single quotes.

here's the code that makes it happen:

<CODE>

        $clientID = $_SESSION['clientID'];
   
   $query = "SELECT * ";
   $query .= "FROM client_data ";
   $query .= "WHERE client_id = {$clientID} ";
   $query .= "LIMIT 1";
   
   $results = mysql_query($query);

</CODE>

what. the. heck. 

thanks in advance gang. 

WR!

Hi i have created a query where i want some columns to be retrieved. i get these 2 errors and i dont understand why.   Notice: Undefined variable: db Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in      this is my query

function get_products_all() { 

$connect = get_connected_db();

try {
	  $results = $db->query("                                  ***** error on this line****
                SELECT  id, product, description, price, picc
                FROM products ORDER BY id DESC
				");
		
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        echo "Data could not be retrieved from the database.";
        exit;
    }

    $result = $results->fetchALL(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
	
	return $result;
}

what am i doing wrong?

Hi,
My issue here is that I cant get my query string variables to ONLY feed into if/else statement  on my secondary page. I include my secondary page (fine.php) from my index page. My query string variables keep being fed back into my original if/ese statement on index.php.

here is the if/else on index.php (these links work fine):

<?php
if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=='/index.php' || $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=='')
{
include 'port.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['pos'])){
include 'pos.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['web'])){
include 'web.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['fine'])){
include 'fine.php';
}

        else {include '404.php';}






here is the if/else on my secondary page (fine.php). These links are supposed to alert the if/else in the next table cell. However, they instead alert the if/else in index.php.


<td><br/>
<a href="?backset"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-backset.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> 
<a href="?backside"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-backside.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> 
<a href="?bannerprint"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-bannerprint.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> 
<a href="?chopu"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-chopu.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> 
</td>
<td><br/>
<div id="DivPiece" align="left">
<?PHP 

if (isset($_GET['backset'])){
       include 'fine/backset.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['backside'])){
     include 'fine/backside.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['bannerprint'])){
     include 'fine/bannerprint.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['chopu'])){
include 'fine/chopu.php';
}

?>
</div>
</td>



How can I get the links on the secondary page to only alert the if/else statement on that page, and BLOCK the if/else statement on index.php from seeing them? I still want to use the query string though.

Thanks!

Hi, In some cases I need to execute  a default query , so I am storing the SELECT statement in a variable like this and executing it:

Code: [Select]
$default_query="SELECT * from user where userid='$userid'";
$user_query=mysql_query($default_query);
The above code returns an empty results.
But if I execute it without the variable it works fine.
Code: [Select]
$user_query=mysql_query("SELECT * from user where userid='$userid'");
 Am I syntatically wrong somewhere?

Hi

I'm having a problem getting a query to work.

I have a simple form with user input for start and end date with format: 2009-03-19 (todays date):

$Startdate = $_POST['date'];

This works well when something is entered into the form, and afterwards using my query:

SELECT COUNT(*) as total FROM mydb WHERE Date BETWEEN '$Startdate' AND '$EndDate' ........

Problem is if user submits the form without entering anything in the date input fields, which makes sense.

I want to check if inputs has been made, and if not set af default date, but can't make it work:

if (isset($_POST['date']) && $_POST['date'] !='') {
$Startdate = $_POST['date'];}
else { $Startdate = '1980-01-01';}

How can I set $Startdate to something that can be used in the query as below doesn't work?

I am trying to pass in a $string variable into my query like so but it is returning a warning:

Code: [Select]
$string = "clientName == '$input'";
$input = "Sam";

$table_id = 'booking';
$query ="SELECT *
FROM booking
WHERE. '$string' ";


$test = mysql_query($query);

echo $test;

I know the following simple demonstration fails and what to do to rectify it (though with a lot of additional code is necessary), but I don't know why this is the behaviour. It would be great if someone could explain to me why, and what the neatest way of fixing it would be.

Code: [Select]
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+
| Field    | Type         | Null | Key | Default |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+
| Id       | int(11)      | NO   | PRI | NULL    |
| Name     | varchar(45)  | YES  |     | NULL    |     
| Number   | int(9)       | YES  |     | NULL    |         

Code: [Select]
$name = "Bradley Cooper";
$number = "";

$query = "INSERT INTO table (Id, Name, Number) VALUES (1, '$name', $number)";
mysql_query($query);

Because the $number variable is empty, this simple query fails. Logically, one would think that nothing or NULL gets inserted to that field since the MySQL structure rule states that default is NULL, and since nothing is fed to it in the query, I think that it would automatically be NULL since if the column is omitted, that is exactly the value that will be inserted.

Enclosing the variable with quotes is not preferable since this field accepts integers. Also, converting the variable to an integer by (int)$number results in a 0, which is not what I want either. Checking if the variable is empty of not, and if it is, assign $number = "''" so that the query would succeed by enclosing the empty string with single quotes. But this creates a lot of unnecessary code (some of my tables are 80 columns wide and the query therefore have equal amount of variables).

So to summarise, why is this happening and how do I neatly avoid assigning quotes to the empty strings? In other words, how do I insert nothing when variables that usually contain an integer is on occation empty?

Hi Members,   I am search for the reason for the problem why my mysql query cannot fetch data and store in file based on id in $variable form. For example, $sql="SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE mine_id='1234'"; works for me. But when i use $sql="SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE mine_id='$id'";, files are created as empty. I chanaged the quotes and could not store the data in file. So anyone please help me. For more clear, i attach the part of my code

for ($i=0;$i<=10;$i++)
    {

$id=$seqs[$i];
$dbo = new PDO($dbc, $user, $pass);
echo $sql = "SELECT * FROM mine_id WHERE locus_id='$id'";

$qry = $dbo->prepare($sql);
$qry->execute();
$data = fopen('file.csv', 'w');

   while ($row = $qry->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
              {
          fputcsv($data, $row);
             }
    }
