PHP - Mysql Result = ''?
How can I check if a returned mysql value is equal to '' i.e. nothing?
I keep getting an error where the page won't load because the returned value is '' so i need to check for it Similar TutorialsIm not sure where to post this but since it includes php il post it here instead of in the mysql forum. ok so, i have a table and i get the values using while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ and then echo them in rows. that works fine but i need to add a class to the last row of my table. I would need somehow to fetch the last row of the array and make it echo something different. Any help is appreciated Thank you Hello, i created this script for a client and have ran into an annoying error with the results displaying on a new line for each result instead of side by side, any help is welcome Cheers Code: [Select] <?php $subcat = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags(htmlspecialchars(protect($_GET['subcat'])))); $cat = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags(htmlspecialchars(protect($_GET['cat'])))); $sql = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cakes WHERE category =\"$cat\" AND sub_cat=\"$subcat\" ORDER BY id DESC"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { $reference = $row['reference']; $image = $row['image']; echo ("<p><img src='./images/cakes/$image' height='289px' width='177px' alt='IMAGE OF CAKE'></img><br />"); echo ("<b>Reference:</b>$reference"."</p>"); } if (!$reference) { echo 'There are no cakes in this category yet.'; } ?> I know the errors only going to be something small i'm missing, but i've been coding all day Hi, I don't know anything about php and Mysql but I found a tutorial for a shopping cart and everything is working.

I have created a database and I am using PHP to grab the data: $usera = $_SESSION['username']; $query2 = "SELECT * FROM tracker WHERE id = '$usera', hidden = yes"; mysql_query($query2) or die('Error, query failed : ' . mysql_error()); This hopefully will return multiple rows which look like this in the database. id username date reps hidden 1 supremebeing 2011-01-02 30 yes 4 supremebeing 2011-04-02 46 yes How would i turn each result into a variable eg: $date1 = 2011-01-02; $date2 = 2011-04-02; $reps1 = 30; $reps2 = 46; I think i have explained that well enough for you to understand, please reply if not though and i will provide more information. Thanks in Advance im getting an error: Warning: mysql_fetch_array() [function.mysql-fetch-array]: The result type should be either MYSQL_NUM, MYSQL_ASSOC or MYSQL_BOTH. in C:\www\library\mysql.class.php on line 353 $result_type = "MYSQL_ASSOC"; $row = mysql_fetch_array($result, $result_type) but if i use (below) it works fine...is the constant() function the right way to what im doing? $result_type = "MYSQL_ASSOC"; $row = mysql_fetch_array($result, constant($result_type)) thank you hey guys, i need some help with my php/mysql iplogger.

Thanks jragon I am getting the row results from mysql as called, but they appear as a straight line instead of new table row when I echo like: echo "TABLETABLETABLETABLE"; I am looking for: echo "TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE"; Here is my code: Code: [Select] $brand = $_POST['brand']; $city = stripslashes($_POST['city']); $state = $_POST['state']; $zip_code = stripslashes($_POST['zip_code']); if($city !=""){ $query = "SELECT name, bus_type, street, city, state, zip_code, brand, quantity, price1, price2, date FROM `prices` WHERE city ='".$city."'

I created a script on a windows platform which connects to the mysql database and returns the results of a table. A very basic script which I wrote to simply test my connection worked. The script works fine on my windows machine but not on my new mac. On the mac it simply does not display any records at all. I know that the database connection has been established because there is no error but I can not see why the result set is not being displayed on screen, as I said it worked fine on my windows machine. The Mac has mysql (with data) and apache running for php. Please could someone help as I have no idea what to do now? Script below: Code: [Select] $dbhost = 'localhost'; $dbuser = 'root'; $dbpass = 'root'; $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql'); $dbname = 'test'; mysql_select_db($dbname); mysql_select_db("test", $conn); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM new_table"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row['test1'] . " " . $row['test2'] . " " . $row['test3']; echo "<br />"; } mysql_close($con); I am having a little bit of trouble with this piece of code. I'm sure it's something simple, but I have been working on this thing all day and want to get it finally finished. Here's the troublesome code: function rrmdir($dir) { if (is_dir($dir)) { $objects = scandir($dir); foreach ($objects as $object) { if ($object != "." && $object != "..") { if (filetype($dir."/".$object) == "dir") rrmdir($dir."/".$object); else unlink($dir."/".$object); } } reset($objects); rmdir($dir); } } $sql_clean = "SELECT * complete WHERE createdate < date_sub(current_date, interval 1 minute)"; $sql_list = mysql_query($sql_clean); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql_list)) { $directory = "complete/" . $row['fileurl']; rrmdir($directory); } The purpose of this particular bit is to run on a cron every few days. It gets "createdate" and other info from the "complete" table in order to know how old the record is. If the record is older than (in the example, 1 minute; it will be set to several days on public) the defined max age, it removes that directory and everything within it to keep the directory clean and the disk usage down. The error returned is Quote Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home1/latenit2/public_html/kindleprocessor/process/garbagecleaner.php on line 46 Line 46 is Quote while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql_list)) { I may be doing the look-up on the MySQL database incorrectly, too. I haven't discounted that, and I'd be thankful if someone could help me out with this issue. Hey guys, Currently Im using: $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) or die(mysql_error()); echo $row['user_family']. " - ". $row['user_registered']; $row['user_family'] = $fam; $_SESSION['family'] = $fam; to take data from a mysql table & set it as SESSION family. However, I cant seem to get this to set. The information IS being taken from mysql because its being echo'd earlier up in the code, but its just not passing to the session. Any ideas? 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: search.php <? //// filename = search.php <form method="post" action="result.php3"> <select name="metode" size="1"> <option value="row_name1">metode1</option> <option value="row_name2">metode2</option> </select> <input type="text" name="search" size="25"> <input type="submit" value="Begin Searching!!"> </form> ?> results.php //// filename = result.php3 <? $hostname = "mysql7.000webhost.com"; // Usually localhost. $username = "a4542527_root"; // If you have no username, leave this space empty. $password = "*******"; // The same applies here. $usertable = "people"; // This is the table you made. $dbName = "a4542527_test1"; // This is the main database you connect to. MYSQL_CONNECT($hostname, $username, $password) OR DIE("Unable to connect to database"); @mysql_select_db( "$dbName") or die( "Unable to select database"); ?> <? //error message (not found message) $XX = "No Record Found"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE $metode LIKE '%$search%' LIMIT 0, 30 "); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $variable1=$row["row_name1"]; $variable2=$row["row_name2"]; $variable3=$row["row_name3"]; print ("this is for $variable1, and this print the variable2 end so on..."); } //below this is the function for no record!! if (!$variable1) { print ("$XX"); } //end ?> Upon viewing search.php I receive the error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/a4542527/public_html/search.php on line 3 I believe I may be missing something and am a bit lost. Thank-you in in advance for any help or suggestions. ~Matty Hi, I'm trying to make a mysql output to a link so the name will be a link so when you hit this link you will get the full information of this mysql input. Can someone point me in the correct direction? Here is how i get the output from my mysql database into my table. Code: [Select] <td>"; echo $row['name']; echo "</td> Hi All, I'm working on PHP scripts to interact with a web hosted MySQL DB for an Android Application. Simply what I am trying to do is in the PHP script is run a SELECT statement which will return the value of a column, UserType, and compare the result of this to a string, which will then execute code depending on it's value. This user type can only be either 'student' or 'lecturer'. Any help with this would be much appreciated. <?php require "init.php"; $user = $_GET["userID"]; #Selects column account type where the idNum equals $user which is passed from my app. $sql1 = "select accountType from user_info where idNum = '$user'"; $result1 = mysqli_query($con,$sql1); $row1 = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result1); #This is where I am stuck. Simply, I am trying to run the code in the loop where the result of $sql1 equals 'Student'. The else will run if it is not #student and therefore is 'Lecturer'. I'm also not sure if my code inside the IF is fully correct either as it's not running that far. if($row1['accountType'] == 'Student') { $sql2 = "select courseCode from user_info where idNum = '$user'"; $result2 = mysqli_query($con,$sql2); $row2 = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result2); $sql3 = "select * from module_details where classListCourseCode = '".$row2['courseCode']."'"; $result3 = mysqli_query($con,$sql3); $response = array(); while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result3)) { array_push($response,array("moduleID"=>$row[0],"lecturerID"=>$row[1],"moduleName"=>$row[2],"classListCourseCode"=>$row[3])); } echo json_encode(array("server_response"=>$response)); } Thanks in advance.

Hello - Suppose I had a MySQL result set that was something like this: ITEM: COLOR: ball red ball blue book red book green book black If I were to use the code: Code: [Select] do { echo $row_myQuery['item'] . " - " . echo $row_myQuery['color'] .
