PHP - If No Result Display No Record Found

I am looking to accomplish the following but have been hitting a brick wall:

    * User enters a single keyword into a text field, and conducts a search keyword search.
    * The results are pulled from the campusbooks.com API(API docs attached)
    * result are then output in <div> class and includes all the book details and its corresponding url./img etc

I'm trying to simplify this process but I continue to receive syntax errors.
A step by step practical explanation would do me justice!

Hi i got a search form and when im searhing for result i get nothing.

i got 5 search fields :

1. Erea
2. category
3. subcategory
4. from price
5. to price

if im not specifieing  from price and to price i get blank result ,if i do specify the from price to price ,then i get the results.

this is the code im using to get the results.
Code: [Select]
$sql=mysql_query("select * from posts where erea = '$erea' and category = '$category' and sub_category = '$subcategory' and price >= '$fromprice' and price <= '$toprice'");
what i want is to get the result even if i didnt specify the price from, to .

thanx

i have two tables, and i want to display data from the most recent entry of the two(i.e. display just one entry). i'm joining together 2 tables so that i can get this entry.Both tables contain the date, so i'm ordering the results of the query so that the most recent comes first.
My tables a
TOPIC
topic_id
topic _name
section_sub_id
date

POST
post_id
post_name
section_sub_id
date

I'm using the following code to get the last result, but nothing is being echoed
$join =mysql_query("SELECT topic.*, post.* FROM topic LEFT JOIN post ON topic.section_sub_id=post.section_sub_id WHERE post.section_sub_id = " .$row2['section_sub_id']. " ORDER BY topic.date") or die("Select Error :" . mysql_error());
$latest= mysql_fetch_row($join);
echo $latest['post.date'];
i'm not sure if there is something wrong with the sql, or with the php. ANy help would be great

Hey guys, I can't wrap my head around how to make this work right...

I have three tables:
Code: [Select]
CREATE TABLE `games` (
  `g_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`g_id`));

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `game_player` (
  `r_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `p_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `g_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `bool` int(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`r_id`));

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `players` (
  `p_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `playerid` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`p_id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `playerid` (`playerid`));

The players table is my list of users, and they're tied to the list of games via the game_player table.

So here's my issue... I'm trying to show the full list of games, and then check mark each record where the player does play it. 
This is what I have so far - it shows all the games,  but it's not checking the boxes.

Code: [Select]
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM games") or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$newquery = "SELECT * FROM game_player, players
WHERE game_player.p_id = players.p_id
AND game_player.g_id = ".$row['g_id']. "
AND players.playerid = {$userid}";
$query = mysql_query($newquery) or die(mysql_error());
if($query['bool'] == 1) { $set_checked = " CHECKED";
}
else{ $set_checked = "";
}
echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"box1\" value=\"".$query['g_id']."\"" . $set_checked . "/>".$row['name']."<br />\n";
}

I have a classified ad program where I need to export ads (items). This code displays a category, subcategory, ad title, description and price for each ad. I would like to display the category and subcategory followed by the all the ads from within the category and subcategory instead of repeating the category and subcategory for each ad. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance! 



Code: [Select]

function getExport() {

$this->db->select("
item.id AS item_id,
item.title AS item_title,
item.description AS item_description,
item.price AS item_price,
subcategory.subcategory AS subcategory_subcategory,
category.category AS category_category,
(SELECT IF(item.datestarts IS NULL AND item.dateexpires IS NULL,'PENDING',IF(item.datestarts <= UNIX_TIMESTAMP() AND item.dateexpires >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP(),'ACTIVE',IF(item.dateexpires <= UNIX_TIMESTAMP(),'EXPIRED',''))) FROM item WHERE item.id = item_id) AS item_status");

$this->db->join('subcategory', 'subcategory.id = item.subcategory');
$this->db->join('category','category.id = subcategory.category');
$this->db->join('user','user.id = item.owner');
return($this->db->get($this->table));

Okay so, I'm adding a reply feature to my text-board, and I'm wondering how I can select a single result from the DB
I've tried this
$board = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['board']);
$thread = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['thread']);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT subject, name, id, timestamp, body FROM $board LIMIT $thread,$thread");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
    printf("<div id='html1' style='background-color:#F0E0D6;border:solid 1px #800000;font-family:arial; font-size: 12px; padding:2px; margin:2px;'><font color='#CC1105'>%s </font><font color='#117743'>%s</font> <font color='#800000'>Post # %s - %s<br />%s<br /></div>", $row[0], $row[1], $row[2], $row[3], $row[4], $row[5], $row[6]);
mysql_free_result($result);
}
?>
Kinda works but if I pu
?thread=56
then it would show thread 57, which in this example does not exist.

Hi there (I'm new at PHP/mysql)

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I have a database that contains results of fantasy football games.  I have a query that returns the results of the games team X played against the other teams in the league.  The query works perfect in the database.

Results are
Quote

Opponent Name:    America Enforcers
Wins    Losses    Draws
1                1                0
Last Game:    Week 2 of 2011: 416.6 - 369.8



the query and the php code cycle thru each team that team X has played and brings up team X's record and the results of the last game played.

My problem is that the code stops one team short.  So Team X played teams A, B, C, D, E
but the code only returns teams A, B, C, D
E is left off. 

I can't for the life of me figure out what silly mistake I made.

I am seeking to learn more about the noted subject, how to use PHP to allow a user to enter search terms and search a database.  I have experimented with this with little results save for errors.  Please see code listed below:

}

//below this is the function for no record!!

As you see i have to use many IF condition to display the result of every select combinations.

Is there any way to do it in better way and using less coding?

Thanks.
