PHP - Union Query

$sql=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `buds` WHERE `level`<='$user_level' UNION SELECT * FROM `buds`, `unlocked_buds` WHERE buds.`id` = unlocked_buds.`bud_id` ORDER BY buds.`id` ASC") or die("A MySQL error has occurred.<br />Your Query: " . $sql . "<br /> Error: (" . mysql_errno() . ") " . mysql_error());



I have been trying to learn about UNION select statements. I ran the query above and got this response:

Quote

Error: (1222) The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns



I think I know what the problem is, but not sure how to fix it.

There is two columns, one is "buds" which holds the flowers seeds info. The seconds is "unlocked_buds" which just links the "id" from buds to "user_id" to the user table.

Both buds and unlocked_buds are both 8 columns.

What do I need to learn?

The queries merge ok and results are correct except I get a notice: "Notice: Use of undefined constant UNION - assumed 'UNION' in...." But is UNION a constant or is the context wrong?

$query = $query1." ".UNION." ".$query2;

$result = mysqli_query($dbcon, $query) or die('Error getting data');
$num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($result);

Hi

I'm trying to find the max value in 3 columns, new_date, reply_date and finalized_date in my table:

Code: [Select]
$test = safe_query("SELECT MAX(new_date) FROM (SELECT new_date AS new_date FROM ".PREFIX."cup_challenges UNION SELECT reply_date FROM ".PREFIX."cup_challenges UNION SELECT finalized_date FROM ".PREFIX."cup_challenges) AS maxval");
Did some research and have no idea what is wrong/if the above is correct?
The page breaks below this code.

Here is my code:
// Start MySQL Query for Records
$query = "SELECT codes_update_no_join_1b" .
"SET orig_code_1 = new_code_1,
       orig_code_2 = new_code_2" .
"WHERE concat(orig_code_1, orig_code_2) = concat(old_code_1, old_code_2)";
$results = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
// End MySQL Query for Records


This query runs perfectly fine when run direct as SQL in phpMyAdmin, but throws this error when running in my script??? Why is this???

Code: [Select]
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '= new_code_1, orig_code_2 = new_code_2WHERE concat(orig_code_1, orig_c' at line 1

Hello all,   Based on the suggestion of you wonderful folks here, I went away for a few days (to learn about PDO and Prepared Statements) in order to replace the MySQLi commands in my code. That's gone pretty well thus far...with me having learnt and successfully replaced most of my "bad" code with elegant, SQL-Injection-proof code (or so I hope).   The one-and-only problem I'm having (for now at least) is that I'm having trouble understanding how to execute an UPDATE query within the resultset of a SELECT query (using PDO and prepared statements, of course).   Let me explain (my scenario), and since a picture speaks a thousand words I've also inlcuded a screenshot to show you guys my setup:   In my table I have two columns (which are essentially flags i.e. Y/N), one for "items alreay purchased" and the other for "items to be purchased later". The first flag, if/when set ON (Y) will highlight row(s) in red...and the second flag will highlight row(s) in blue (when set ON).   I initially had four buttons, two each for setting the flags/columns to "Y", and another two to reverse the columns/flags to "N". That was when I had my delete functionality as a separate operation on a separate tab/list item, and that was fine.   Now that I've realized I can include both operations (update and delete) on just the one tab, I've also figured it would be better to pare down those four buttons (into just two), and set them up as a toggle feature i.e. if the value is currently "Y" then the button will set it to "N", and vice versa.   So, looking at my attached picture, if a person selects (using the checkboxes) the first four rows and clicks the first button (labeled "Toggle selected items as Purchased/Not Purchased") then the following must happen:   1. The purchased_flag for rows # 2 and 4 must be switched OFF (set to N)...so they will no longer be highlighted in red. 2. The purchased_flag for row # 3 must be switched ON (set to Y)...so that row will now be highlighted in red. 3. Nothing must be done to rows # 1 and 5 since: a) row 5 was not selected/checked to begin with, and b) row # 1 has its purchase_later_flag set ON (to Y), so it must be skipped over.   Looking at my code below, I'm guessing (and here's where I need the help) that there's something wrong in the code within the section that says "/*** loop through the results/collection of checked items ***/". I've probably made it more complex than it should be, and that's due to the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing (or rather, how I should be doing it), and this has driven me insane for the last 2 days...which prompted me to "throw in the towel" and seek the help of you very helpful and intellegent folks. BTW, I am a newbie at this, so if I could be provided the exact code, that would be most wonderful, and much highly appreciated.   Thanks to you folks, I'm feeling real good (with a great sense of achievement) after having come here and got the great advice to learn PDO and prepared statements.   Just this one nasty little hurdle is stopping me from getting to "end-of-job" on my very first WebApp. BTW, sorry about the long post...this is the best/only way I could clearly explaing my situation.   Cheers guys!

If you also have any feedback on my code, please do tell me. I wish to improve my coding base.

Basically when you fill out the register form, it will check for data, then execute the insert query. But for some reason, the query will NOT insert into the database. In the following code below, I left out the field ID. Doesn't work with it anyways, and I'm not sure it makes a difference.

Code:

  Code: [Select]
mysql_query("INSERT INTO servers (username, password, name, type, description, ip, votes, beta) VALUES ($username, $password, $name, $server_type, $description, $ip, 0, 1)");

I was just wondering if it's possible to run a query on data that has been returned from a previous query?  For example, if I do

Code: [Select]
$sql = 'My query';
$rs = mysql_query($sql, $mysql_conn);

Is it then possible to run a second query on this data such as

Code: [Select]
$sql = 'My query';
$secondrs = mysql_query($sql, $rs, $mysql_conn);

Thanks for any help

I'm trying to update every record where one field in a row is less than the other. The code gets each row i'm looking for and sets up the query right, I hope I combined the entire query into one string each query seperated by a ; so it's like
UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '1';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '2';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '3';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '4';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '5';
this executes properly if i run the query in phpMyAdmin, however when I run the query in PHP, it does nothing... Any advice?

Say I have this query:

site.com?var=1

..I have a form with 'var2' field which submits via get.

Is there a way to produce:

site.com?var=1&var2=formdata

I was hoping there would be a quick way to affix, but can't find any info. Also, the query could sometimes be:

site.com?var2=formdata&var=1

I would have to produce:

site.com?var2=updatedformdata&var=1

Is my only option to further parse the query?

What would be the correct way to close a mysql query?

At current the second query below returns results from the 1st query AND the 2nd query
The 3rd query returns results from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd query.
 etc etc.

At the moment I get somthing returned along the lines of...

QUERY 1 RESULTS
Accommodation 1

looks completely valid to me.  all the database table elements are set to VARCHAR(80), so it can't be a space/type issue...

halp! 

WR!

I'm restarting this under a new subject b/c I learned some things after I initially posted and the subject heading is no longer accurate.

What would cause this behavior - when I populate session vars from a MYSQL query, they stick, if I populate them from an MSSQL query, they drop.

It doesn't matter if I get to the next page using a header redirect or a form submit.  I have two session vars I'm loading from a MYSQL query and they remain, the two loaded from MSSQL disappear. 

I have confirmed that all four session vars are loading ok initially and I can echo them out to the page, but when the application moves to next page via redirect or form submit, the two vars loaded from MSSQL are empty. 

Any ideas?
