PHP - Checking To See If A Value Returned From The Database Is Blank Or Not?

I have an issue with some code I have.  All the code works correctly apart from when submit is clicked not only does it update a the current club but it creates a blank entry in the database!  I cant see whats wrong.  Here is the code.........



//gets
$validation = $_GET['new_club'];
//Querys
    $qGetClub = "SELECT * FROM clubs WHERE validationID = '$validation'"; 
$rGetClub = mysql_query($qGetClub);
$Club = mysql_fetch_array($rGetClub);
//Query for category by name
$qGetCat = "SELECT * FROM club_category WHERE catID = ".$Club['cat']."";
$rGetCat = mysql_query($qGetCat);
$CatName = mysql_fetch_array($rGetCat);
//query for related sub categorys.
$qGetSub = "SELECT * FROM sub_categorys WHERE catID =".$Club['cat']."";
$rSubCat = mysql_query($qGetSub);
// query for groups created
$Groupq = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM groups WHERE memberID = '".$User['memberID']."'");

//end of querys

if(isset($_POST['insert_clubbtn1'])){ 
//Process data for validation     
$subcat     = trim($_POST['subcat']);  
$NewSubCat = trim($_POST['NewSubCat']); 
//Prepare data for db insertion      
$subcat = mysql_real_escape_string($subcat); 
//find the new category 
//insert
$result = mysql_query("UPDATE clubs  SET 
`sub_category` = '$subcat'
WHERE validationID ='$validation'") or die(mysql_error());



if ($result!=="") {
$otherg = trim($_POST['other_groups']);
$newg = trim($_POST['new_group']);
$newg = mysql_real_escape_string($newg);     
//if an item other than none from the list is selected then update the club with an ID relating to the group it belongs to
if ($otherg !=='None') { $groupsq = mysql_query("UPDATE `clubs` SET groupID ='$otherg' WHERE validationID ='$validation'") or die (mysql_error()); }
// If none is selected then $newg must have a value so create a new group in the groups table and then on the next page I will add the group in the club table 
else {
$groupsq = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `groups` (`memberID`, `group`, `clubID`) VALUES ('".$User['memberID']."', '$newg', '".$Club['clubID']."')")or die (mysql_error());
}   }

if ($NewSubCat !="") { mail("mail","New Sub Category Request","Dear Ring Master,
\n\nThe club in the name of $name with a validation code of $validationID would like a new sub category called $new_cat\n\n  
\nTeam Arena\n\n\n\n"); }

$url = "/members/create/create_clubp3.php?new_club=$validation";  
header("Location: $url");     
}

Hey I'm trying to check a row in my database to see if its empty but this isnt working

$usercheck = mysql_query("SELECT pet FROM users where name='$user'");
$returned_rows = mysql_num_rows($usercheck);
if ($returned_rows == 0){

// do stuff if no pet

}else{

    echo 'There was ' . $returned_rows . ' records found.';

}


The problem is its not checking the row pet its just checking to see if anything exists

my database has

id    name        pet
1     joe        <empty>

its just seeing joe and echoing "there was 1 record found" instead of seeing that the row pet is empty.

thanks for the help

Ok guys, I am working on my code as I am checking the row in a database that if i have got a same row that I insert the functions in the URL then throw the error that says "you can't store". When I am checking as the rows have already exist, i keep getting "you can now store".

Do you know how i can check in a database to see if the rows is exist?

here's the code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'mydbuser');

    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {

die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
    $image = clean($_GET['image']);
    $strings = clean($_GET['strings']);
    $username = clean($_GET['user']);
    $password = clean($_GET['pass']);


if (isset($_GET['user']) && (isset($_GET['pass']))) {
    if($username == '' || $password == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'username or password are missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }
}
if (isset($_GET['image']) || (isset($_GET['strings'])) || (isset($_GET['user']))) {
    if($image == '' || $strings == '' || $username == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'image, strings or username are missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }
}
    if($errflag) {

Hello,

I am trying to get this backlink checker that checks to make sure another website has my link on their website, so far I can check to make sure the "href" link is there and is correct, but I cant get the textContent to prove valid or not it seems to always be proving true even when the textConent is not in the mysql database.

The other persons website will have this:
<a href="http://businessinvestingsorce.com">Business Investing Source</a>

I need to make sure Business Investing Source (the textContent) matches the anchor in the database.

Here is my code:

Code: [Select]
<?php

function CheckForAnchorMatch($anchortext) {    

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM allowed_anchor WHERE anchor='$anchortext'");
if(mysql_num_rows($query) != 0) {
return true;
}

return false;

} 

function CheckForTargetUrl($links, $target) {    
    foreach ($links as $link) {
        if (strpos($link, $target) !== false) {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
} 
                          
function ExtractHrefLinks($html) {
    $dom = new DOMDocument;
    $linkUrls = array();
     

    @$dom->loadHTML($html);
    $links = $dom->getElementsByTagName('a');
     
    foreach ($links as $link){
        $linkUrls[] = $link->getAttribute('href');
    }
    
    return $linkUrls;
}

function ExtractAnchorText($html) {
    $dom = new DOMDocument;
    $AnchorTexts = array();
     

    @$dom->loadHTML($html);
    $links = $dom->getElementsByTagName('a');
     
    foreach ($links as $link){
        $AnchorTexts[] = $link->textContent;
    }
    return $AnchorTexts;
}

function backlink_check($contenturl){

$url = 'businessinvestingsource.com';
$source = $contenturl;

$falseFound = false;

    $html = file_get_contents ( $source );
    $links = ExtractHrefLinks($html);
 
    if (CheckForTargetUrl($links, $url) === false) {
        $falseFound = "true";
        $reportArray[$source] = 0;
    } else {
        $falseFound = "false";
    }


    $html = file_get_contents ( $source );
    $anchortext = ExtractAnchorText($html);
    
    if (CheckForAnchorMatch($anchortext) === false) {
        $falseFound = true;

Help greatly appreciated

Is there an alert method for the MySQL database or something similar?   What is the proper way to check if the MySQL database connection is working?   I mean other than "creating" and "retrieving" with "insert" and "select".

Hey all. I'm a noob so bare with me. Just started studying php and have an assignment due. At this phase of the project I have to create a form where a user can register data and I should retrieve that data and store it in my database. Now I have already created the form (student_reg.php) and a separate file with php code (demo.php)

My database is name "registration" and I am trying to put this info in the "student" table. It has about 15 fields but for now I am only trying trying to insert the 1 field of data to test if it works. Dont know if that may cause problems?

So far my demo.php connects to the database successfully. The problem I am having is the information I submit does not showing in the database field. However, I have an id field in my case a student number field which is set to auto increment so it automatically updates (1,2,3,4) with each new sumbitted info. When I submit the info the id field gets updated each time with a new row ( so i assume some information is somehow going through ) however the info I entered will remain blank in its field. :banghead:

Heres my form (student_reg.php)

Code: [Select]
<div id="apdiv3">

<FORM action = "demo.php" method ="post ">

<p>Course name:</p>
<INPUT TYPE = "text"  name="input"/>
<INPUT TYPE = "Submit" VALUE = "Submit"/>
</div>
</FORM>

and heres my php code to retrieve the form info

Code: [Select]
<?PHP


include 'includes/config.php';

//connect to database
$link=mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);



//error check
if (!$link)
{
die('could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

$db_selected=mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);



// error check
if (!$db_selected)
{
die('can\t use ' . DB_NAME . ': ' . mysql_error());
}
// Connected to database



// retrieve form data
$value=(isset($_POST['input']));

$sql = "INSERT INTO student (sname) VALUES ('$value')";


if (!mysql_query($sql))
{
die ('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close();


?>

I also recieved a notice "undefined index" or something like that from this part of the code "$value=(isset($_POST['input']));" before I inserted "isset" to the code. I'm not sure if what I did fixed the problem or only hid it, or whether that notice was related to the problem I'm having of not retrieving the info.

Haha sorry guys know this is probably childs play for you but I just started out and really need to fix this so I can catch up with this project. Feel free to add tips and comments on other areas. Thanks :mrgreen:

hi all i am having a big problem that i have been trying to find out what is going on for weeks. i have a echo script that echos data that is in my database, and if i have to refresh the page it will add blank data in my database and the top echo info is blank as well. how can i fix this, and i was wanting to know how do i echo out my info in a textarea. i added a jepg to show you what i mean.

require_once('demo.php');
/*Open the connection to our database use the info from the config file.*/
$link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);

$sql = "SELECT company_name, contact_name, address, street_number, postcode, contact_number, contact_email, budget, description FROM 3dartactforms";

$results = mysql_query($sql);
      
if (!$results) {
   die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}



while($result = mysql_fetch_array( $results )){
   echo '<div style="border: 1px solid #e4e4e4; padding: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px;">';
   echo date("d/m/y");
   echo '<p>Company Name: ' . $_POST['company_name'] . '</p>';

I have 2 files; Newfault.php and thankyou.php

1) Data is entered into a form in Newfault.php
2) The data from this form is retieved in thankyou.php and is then inserted into a table called "Calls"

Problem:

My entered record is being added to my database OK, but it is also adding a blank record for some reason and I can't work out why. Can anyone help? This is for my uni assignment.

Thanks,

Hi there,

I am using this code to send the users email address to the database. That works fine, but i keep getting blank info added to the database. Does anyone know how i can stop this?

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("*","*","*");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("ogs_mailinglist1", $con);

$sql="INSERT INTO mailinglist (email)

('$_POST[rec_email]')";

if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_close($con);
?>



Thanks,

When I submit the login form its not returning anything and it was working until I added in the $remember part so I'm wondering why its still not returning TRUE.

Code: [Select]

        if ($user_data)
        {
            $regenFromPostPW = $this->ci->genfunc->reGenPassHash($password, $user_data->password2);
            if ($regenFromPostPW == $user_data->password)
            {

                if ($remember == 1)
                {
                    $timeTOexpire = time()+(60*60*24*31*2);
                    $this->input->set_cookie('xtrcook', '1', $timeTOexpire);
                }
                else

    }

Need some help finding out why this is returning a null result set:   The below code is giving me a result set of an integer set to "0" (the id), a "word"and "def" both set to NULL. It's failing at my "Error #2" point. var_dumps on $id, $word, and $def all give the null output. Each $category is being shown when I var_dump($category).   I know this shouldn't be the case because when I run this straight in PHPMyAdmin I get a non-null result set.   (Not sure why my indentation is not carrying over to the forum. Sorry about that.)

So I am accessing a web service and it returns a bunch of values, I am able to grab and print the first value, but I can't figure out how to print the second value.

PHP Code that works

Code: [Select]
<?php
//Web service that works fine
$client = new SoapClient("http://www.domain.com/sc001.asmx?WSDL");  
$sc001 = $client->$NT(array('var1'=>$var1));

//Grab the value tag and print it from web service call and in this case prints 001
$tag = $sc001->NTResult->results->TaggedText->tag;
echo $tag;
?>

But how do I get it to print the second tag that equals 120?

I've tried this

Code: [Select]
<?php
$tag2 = $sc001->NTResult->taggedResults->tag;
?>

and this

Code: [Select]
<?php
$tag2 = $sc001->NTResult->taggedResults->TaggedText->tag;
?>

and this

Code: [Select]
<?php
$tag2 = $sc001->NTResult->results->TaggedText->taggedResults->TaggedText->tag;
?>

But neither work. The var_dump for is sc001 is:

Code: [Select]
object(stdClass)#9 (1) { ["NTResult"]=> object(stdClass)#10 (2) { ["count"]=> int(1) ["results"]=> object(stdClass)#11 (1) { ["TaggedText"]=> object(stdClass)#12 (2) { ["tag"]=> string(3) "001" ["taggedResults"]=> object(stdClass)#13 (1) { ["TaggedText"]=> array(27) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#14 (2) { ["tag"]=> string(4) "120" ["textArray"]=> object(stdClass)#15 (1) { ["string"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(28) "Rocks " [1]=> string(14) "Big Rocks" } } }  } } } } } } } }

and the XML return from the service is:

Code: [Select]
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <TaggedTextArray xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.domain.com/sc001">
  <count>1</count>
- <results>
- <TaggedText>
  <tag>001</tag>
- <taggedResults>
- <TaggedText>
  <tag>120</tag>
- <textArray>
  <string>Rocks</string>
  <string>Big Rocks</string>
  </textArray>
  </TaggedText>

Maybe the question is, how do you handle a SOAP returned array? I'm not sure, any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I would like to be able to just pull out some of the mailservice and rate portions to use them later on in the form, like say a dropdown box but I do not know how to just isolate each item.

For instance turn that result into a 3 item select box with these options
Express Mail - $49.70
Priority Mail - $18.35
Parcel Post - $12.29

Hope that makes sense. Any help appreciated.

It's been quite a while since I have coded in PHP and I am running into difficulties looping through the returned response from an API.  I am pretty comfortable in my PHP skills, but for some reason I keep getting caught up trying to loop through the following... Many of the returns from the API include several more layers of Objects, the example below is about the most simplistic return from the API.     I'm sure I'm just missing something easy and any help or example code simply looping through and echoing each result would be greatly appreciated!!  Ideally I would like to be able to loop through both of the scenarios below.     I did a var_dump on the response and here is what I get:

array (size=1)
  'Body' => 
    object(stdClass)[6]
      public 'userContext' => 
        object(stdClass)[8]
          public 'convCred' => 
            object(stdClass)[10]
              ...
          public 'valid' => boolean true
          public 'isPasswordExpired' => boolean false
          public 'cbId' => int 0083802121
          public 'cnId' => int 1000545
          public 'locale' => string 'en_US' (length=5)
          public 'tncVersion' => int 2
          public 'applicationId' => string 'ECFDA1FDBC00270772870CDC1786FFED' (length=32)
          public 'cbConvCred' => 
            object(stdClass)[9]
              ...
          public 'preferenceInfo' => 
            object(stdClass)[7]
              ...
      public 'lastLoginTime' => int 1406729928
      public 'loginCount' => int 282
      public 'passwordRecovered' => boolean false
      public 'emailAddress' => string 'abc@123.com' (length=11)
      public 'loginName' => string 'TEST' (length=8)
      public 'userId' => int 15932274
      public 'userType' => 
        object(stdClass)[14]
          public 'userTypeId' => int 1
          public 'userTypeName' => string 'normal_user' (length=11)
      public 'isConfirmed' => boolean false

 If I jsonencode and jsondecode the response this is what I get:

object(stdClass)[13]
  public 'Body' => 
    object(stdClass)[17]
      public 'userContext' => 
        object(stdClass)[18]
          public 'convCred' => 
            object(stdClass)[19]
              ...
          public 'valid' => boolean true
          public 'isPasswordExpired' => boolean false
          public 'cbId' => int 0083802121
          public 'cnId' => int 1000545
          public 'locale' => string 'en_US' (length=5)
          public 'tncVersion' => int 2
          public 'applicationId' => string 'ECFDA1FDBC00270772870CDC1786FFED' (length=32)
          public 'cbConvCred' => 
            object(stdClass)[20]
              ...
          public 'preferenceInfo' => 
            object(stdClass)[21]
              ...
      public 'lastLoginTime' => int 1406729953
      public 'loginCount' => int 283

      public 'userId' => int 15932274
      public 'userType' =>

          public 'userTypeId' => int 1
          public 'userTypeName' => string 'normal_user' (length=11)
