ajax run mysql query and check whether mysql query was true or false? - php

Question

I am using the following ajax script to run my MySQL query and then only want the jquery to fade out my div and fade in another if the query returned true otherwise if the query returned false don't do anything.
Ajax:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "include/fade_to_do_list.php",
data: "theOption=" + $(this).attr("id"),
dataType: 'json',//specify data type
success: function(data3) {
if(data3.res.indexOf("success") >-1 ){
setTimeout(
function() {
$("#to_do_list").fadeOut();
}, 3500
);
setTimeout(
function() {
$("#compliance_list").fadeIn();
}, 500
);
}
}
});
});
</script>
PHP/MYSQL:
<?php
session_start();
include 'config.php';
$query = "SELECT * FROM supplier_stats WHERE complete_count = > 3 AND user_id = '{$_SESSION['id']}'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0) {
$query2 = "UPDATE supplier_stats SET profile_complete = 'complete' WHERE user_id = '{$_SESSION['id']}'";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2);
if($result2) {
$return['res'] = 'success';
} else {
}
}
echo json_encode($return);
?>
Please can someone show me where I am going wrong? I currently get no error and my jquery just doesnt execute. Thanks

Answer 1

mysql_query() always return you something. You need to count number of affected row.
Also problem is with equal to greater then operator it is used as >=
$query = "SELECT * FROM supplier_stats WHERE complete_count >= 3 AND user_id = '{$_SESSION['id']}'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$query2 = "UPDATE supplier_stats SET profile_complete = 'complete' WHERE user_id = '{$_SESSION['id']}'";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2);
$total=mysql_affected_rows();
if($total >0) {
$return['res'] = 'success';
} else {
}
