Hi all,

I have been running into a couple of errors messages that I have not been able to debug (below):

I am having real problems getting mysql_num_rows function working with PHP 5

This is the split up script:

index.php

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

require_once 'config.php';

require_once 'func/func.db.php';

$connect = databaseConnect($host, $user, $password, $database);

if($connect == true)
{

//

printf("<table>");

// get it querying results for showing users entries as of now:

$result = query("SELECT * FROM entries");

if($result == true)

{

printf("<table>

<tr>

<td></td>

</tr>\n");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

printf("

<tr>

<td>Result row</td>

</tr>\n");

}

printf("</table>\n\n");

}

// show form for users logged in so they can post entries, ie just one user account for now:

require_once 'auth.php';

}
?>


func/func.db.php
<?php
function databaseConnect($host, $user, $password, $database)
{

$connect = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password);

if($connect)

{

$select_db = mysql_select_db($database, $connect);

if($select_db)

{

return true;

} else {

return false;

}

} else {

return false;

}
}

function query($sql)
{

$sql = stripslashes($sql);

$query = mysql_real_escape_string($sql);

$result = mysql_query($query);

if($result){

return $result;

}
}

Then the auth.php, looks like:
<?php
if(isset($_POST))
{

$message = 'Only registered users can post';

if(array_key_exists('submit',$_POST))

{

if($_POST['username'] != '' && $_POST['password'] != '')

{

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = sha1($_POST['password']);

// try to log user in:

$result = query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username' AND '$password'");

echo mysql_num_rows($result);

} else {

$message = 'You did not enter all required fields, please retry';

}

}

} else {

$message = 'Only registered users can post';

}
?>

<p><?=$message;?></p>
<table>

</tr>
</form>
<table>

You dont need to know whats in config.php since thats just full of my database connection variables, like the hostname, user, password and database, but its saying mysql_num_rows is an invalid function, since maybe its because its lost connection to the database, but how would I get around this?

I thought about maybe making it connect to the database again, but is there any point in doing this?

This is the actual error I get:
Quote

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /www/jeremysmith.me.uk/html/blog-dev/auth.php on line 17


Any help is much appreciated,
Jez.

Im trying to figure out if a user has already downloaded something so im seeing if they have a uid (user id) in the database along with the nid (note id) that they are trying to download. I echoed out the sql and it returned this:

Quote

SELECT * FROM purchases WHERE uid =1 AND nid =7


i manually ran that sql in phpmyadmin and it returned a couple rows.  However my var $rows = mysql_num_rows($res2) has no value when i echo is out. Appriciate any help here is my code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$sql2 = "SELECT * FROM purchases WHERE uid =".$user_id." AND nid =".$id;
$res2 = mysql_query($sql2) or die (mysql_error());
$rows = mysql_num_rows($res2);
?>

Hi guys, one of the last questions from me for a while i hope lol

i am trying to check if a phone number allready exists in a database using mysql_num_rows


The code is this:
Code: [Select]
$SQL = "SELECT * FROM postcode WHERE phone = $phone";
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

if ($num_rows > 0) {
$errorMessage = "It seems that this phone number is already been entered into our database";
}

else {bla bla bla

But i keep getting a warning message: Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in

I am at my wits end with this and done a lot of searching to try and find out why this is, but obviously i am dim and need it to be explained in english.
Cheers!

When fetching results from a query I have always used the following method (the one i was taught)

1. get the query

2. if i know there might be more than one row returned, count the rows

3. use a for loop to get all the mysql_fetch_row results.

Is there a more efficient way?

eg, i am now writing a section that i know will either return one row or two, but never anymore, can i run a foreach on a mysql fetching function to get all the rows instead of counting first? (ie cutting out the middle man)

I know im being blind today but can someone point out why:
Code: [Select]
$query = "SELECT peopleID FROM numpeople WHERE ID = '3';";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die("failed.");
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$numpeople = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "<br /> row $row[1]";
echo "<br />numpeople $numpeople";

$numpeople returns 2, but $row[1] is undefined? $row[0] is fine. (The value of  $row[0] is 7 and  $row[1] should be .

This is the second error that I really cant see....

I am having trouble calling mysql_num_rows in my script.  I get the error message "PHP Warning:  mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\scripts\update.php on line 41".  I have looked around online but can only find the my sql is not right.  I am able to copy and past the sql into mysql workbench and it runs fine.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Code: [Select]
$game_id = $row['id'];
            $game_name = $row['game_name'];
           
            print("updating game {$game_id}: {$game_name}" . PHP_EOL);
           
            $sql = "SELECT users.id, users.username, users.number_attended_games FROM users join game_sessions_users on game_sessions_users.user_id = users.id where game_sessions_users.game_session_id = " . $game_id;
           
            print($sql . PHP_EOL);
           
            $players = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die(mysql_error($connection));;
           
            if(mysql_num_rows($players >= 1)){
                while($player = mysql_fetch_array($players, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
                    print('updating player: ' . $player['username']);
                    $number_attended_games = $player['number_attended_games'];
                    $user_id = $player['id'];
                    $sql = "UPDATE users SET number_attended_games = " . ($number_attended_games + 1) . ", user_level = " . ($number_attended_games / 10) . " WHERE id = " . $user_id;
                    $update_result = mysql_query($sql, $connection);
                }
            }
           
            $sql = "UPDATE game_sessions SET completed = 1 WHERE id = " . $game_id;
            $update_result = mysql_query($sql, $connection);

Get an error saying:

Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\wamp\www\admin\delete.php on line 16
Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query

Surely this means the code has worked because of the last line, but i can't get rid of the error!

Hi All!

Got a little irritating problem going on when trying to allow a user to log on with their credentials.
I've created the relevant tables, defined connection correctly etc but every time I enter in the correct user account details , it always displays the message I created for when the user account details are wrong.

Here is the code:

<?php

...
...

$find_user_sql = "SELECT `ad_aid`, `ad_aus` FROM `ad_users` WHERE `ad_aus` = '" . $find_user_usr . "' AND `ad_apa` = '" . $find_user_pas . "'";
$find_user_res = mysql_query($find_user_sql);



if(mysql_num_rows($find_user_res) > 1|| mysql_num_rows($find_user_res) < 1){



?>


<div id="loginbox">
<div id="loginbox-logo">&nbsp;</div>
<div id="loginbox-content">
<div id="content-error">

<p>The details you entered were incorrect.</p>

</div>

<form action="login.php" method="post">
<p>Admin Username:<br />
<input type="text" name="ad_user" autocomplete="off" />
</p>
<p>Admin Password:<br />
<input type="password" name="ad_pass" autocomplete="off" />
</p>
<p>
<br />

<input type="submit" name="ad_submit" value="Log me in &raquo;" id="login_button" />

</p>
</form>
</div>
<div id="loginbox-bottom">&nbsp;</div>
</div>





<?php

include_once('includes/footer.php');

$insert_fail_attempt_sql = "INSERT INTO `ad_fail_log` VALUES (NULL, NULL, '" . visitorIP() . "')";
mysql_query($insert_fail_attempt_sql);

}




else{

include_once('includes/header.php');

$find_user = mysql_fetch_assoc($find_user_res);

session_start();

$_SESSION['ad_user'] = $find_user['ad_aus'];
$_SESSION['ad_aid'] = $find_user['ad_aid'];

?>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=../ad/index.php">
<div id="loginbox">
<div id="loginbox-logo">&nbsp;</div>
<div id="loginbox-content">
<p>Logging In...<br /><br /><br /><br />
<center><img src="images/login-loader.gif" /></center>
</p>
</div>
<div id="loginbox-bottom">&nbsp;</div>
</div>

<?php

include_once('includes/footer.php');

}

}

}else{

include_once('includes/header.php');

?>




What the aim of the script is, is to allow users to log in then be taken to a page called index.php . I also have a include php script called check.php (below) which checks users accounts:







<?php

session_start();

if(!empty($_SESSION['adm_user']) && !empty($_SESSION['adm_aid'])){

$check_user_sql = "SELECT `adm_ana`, `adm_per` FROM `pb_admin_users` WHERE `adm_aus` = '" . $_SESSION['adm_user'] . "' AND `adm_aid` = '" . $_SESSION['adm_aid'] . "'";
$check_user_res = mysql_query($check_user_sql);

if(mysql_num_rows($check_user_res) > 1 || mysql_num_rows($check_user_res) < 1)){
   
$check_user = mysql_fetch_assoc($check_user_res);
$_SESSION['adm_name'] = $check_user['adm_ana'];
$_SESSION['adm_perm'] = $check_user['adm_per'];

}else{
   header('Location: https://*website*/' . DIR_ADM . '/login.php');
die($check_user_sql);
}

}else{
header('Location: https://*website*/' . DIR_ADM . '/login.php');
die($check_user_sql);
}

?>




I know it's got something to do with the if(mysql_num_rows($find_user_res) > 1|| mysql_num_rows($find_user_res) < 1){ , but I don't know why its rejecting correct username and password .

I've tried fiddling around with the mysql_num_rows value to 1 or 0 or ==1 etc but it will only do one of the following:

- State that my username and password are incorrect(when they're not)
                                                     OR
- Seem as if it is logging in by displaying "logging in" then for it to only display the login.php page again



I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some pointers!! 

Here is my CODE which is showing some error:

Code: [Select]
<?php
include('dbcon.php');
session_start();
$usname=$_POST['usname'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$usname = stripslashes($usname);
$password = stripslashes($password);
$usname = mysql_real_escape_string($usname);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($password); 
$check="y";
$sql = "select * from usname where usname='$usname' and password='$password'"; 
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
if($count==1)
{
$sqlq = "select * from usname where usname='$usname' and password='$password' and check='$check'"; 
$resultq=mysql_query($sqlq);
$countq=mysql_num_rows($resultq);
if($countq==1)
{$_SESSION['usname']=$usname;
header('location:fire.php');}
else
{$_SESSION['status']="Admin Didnt grant you the permission to access the things";
header('location:index.php');}
}
else
{$_SESSION['status']="Wrong username and password";
header('location:index.php');}

die(" ");
?>


And here are the ERRORS when the username and passwords are correct but the check is not equal to 'y'....

Please tell me where is the mistake...........

Hi All,

I think im having one of those days when you want to rip your hair out...

My problem is...

I want to produce the total number of results in my table that match a particular query... that query in English is... calculate the total number of records where field category = C Category...

When im in phpMyadmin and perform a search it finds all the records that have the value of C Category in the category field. If I then choose 'show php code' i get: $sql = "SELECT * FROM `staff` WHERE `category` = \'C Category\' LIMIT 0, 30 ";

In my php document, i use...

Code: [Select]
<?php
include ('config.php');
$sql="SELECT * FROM `staff` WHERE `category` = \'C Category\' LIMIT 0, 30 ";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo $num_rows;
?>

But I get a blank page... what am I doing wrong?

Cheers

I have the following code...

Code: [Select]
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($rsSinglesMatch); //$num_rows now contains the number of rows from the query
echo $num_rows;
if ($num_rows > 0 )
{
echo $ssPlayerNumber;
echo ("YEX");
} 
else
{
echo "ROWS";
}
$myrow = mysql_fetch_row($rsSinglesMatch);
//$rsSinglesMatches = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSinglesMatch);
print_r($myrow);
// if (!($rsSinglesMatches==0) || !($rsSinglesMatches_BOF==1))
if ($myrow > 0)
{
echo $myrow;
}
else
{
echo "Rows not counted: ";
}
And I can't get the mysql_num_rows and mysql_fetch_rows to work.

Currently it displays  Rows not counted:  and ROWS  if I ask it to display the number of rows it shows it as being 0.

Let me know if you see anything or if I need to post anything else.
