<?php
function searchDatabase($key, $value)
{
$key = $key;
$query = "SELECT * FROM user_data WHERE username='$value'";
$result = mysqli_query(loadDatabase(), $query);
$numRows = mysqli_num_rows($result);
if ($numRows > 0)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
?>
So I am using this code to search through my database to reveal a match on a key/value pair, but $key doesn't find the correct column in my database when passed into the query function. If I replace it with the word username, it matches fine. Is it a type issue? I am not explicitly stating its type so I can search other columns with the same function.
username: varchar(40)
<?php
function searchDatabase($key, $value)
{
$query = "SELECT * FROM user_data WHERE ".$key." = '".$value."'";
$result = mysqli_query(loadDatabase(), $query);
$numRows = mysqli_num_rows($result);
return ($numRows > 0);
}
?>
Try this
$query = "SELECT * FROM user_data WHERE ".$key."='$value'";
Like so:
function searchDatabase($key, $value)
{
$query = "SELECT * FROM user_data WHERE $key='$value'";
$result = mysqli_query(loadDatabase(), $query);
$numRows = mysqli_num_rows($result);
return ($numRows > 0);
}
The problem is in the query. PHP variables are not properly echoed in the query.
<?php
function searchDatabase($key, $value)
{
$query = "SELECT * FROM user_data WHERE username='".$value."'";
$result = mysqli_query(loadDatabase(), $query);
$numRows = mysqli_num_rows($result);
return ($numRows > 0);
}
?>

I'm new to PHP and SQL. I'm trying to make a rule so that it will only show certain information for certain pages. The code I'm using is
include 'dbh-login.php';
$id = $_GET['id'];
$i = 1;
while ($i != 100) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ui_off WHERE id='$i'";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
if ($row['link'] = $id) {
echo $row['title']."<br>";
}
$i++;
}
The if statement seems to have no effect on weather the script echoes the title or not.
You are missing == assignment. Here is the working code.
$id = $_GET['id'];
$i = 1;
while ($i != 100) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ui_off WHERE id='$i'";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
if ($row['link'] == $id) {
echo $row['title']."<br>";
}
$i++;
}
Your code does not make any sense.
You are using a while loop and looping in it 100 times just to check if 1 row have the given id.
Why don't you search directly for the id? Your code will be cleaner and you will free some memory on the server by deducting 100 queries each time the page is opened.
$id = $_GET['id'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ui_off WHERE id!='100' AND link='$id'" ;
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
if ($row['link'] != '') {
echo $row['title']."<br>";
}
In fact I am working on a small PHP script but I am facing a problem right now.The problem is that i want to check if my query return records this is my mysqli query:
$sql = "select * from specs where btitleid=$id and phoneid=$aydi"
$check = $conn->query($sql)
while($row = $check->fetch_assoc()) {$tocheck = $row['content'];}
I don't want to check the number of rows of this query to see if it is null.I want to check if all $row['content'] are empty.
How about this:
$sql = "select * from specs where btitleid=$id and phoneid=$aydi";
$check = $conn->query($sql);
$contentAllEmpty = true;
while ($row = $check->fetch_assoc()) {
if (strlen($row['content']) > 0) {
$contentAllEmpty = false;
}
}
if ($contentAllEmpty) {
//do something
}
use ==
while ($row = $check->fetch_assoc()) {
if ($row['content'] == '') {
... code here
}
}
To get back only records where the content column is not empty -
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `specs` WHERE `btitleid` = $id AND `phoneid` = $aydi AND (`content` IS NOT NULL OR `content` != '') ";
instead of using String delimiter, is there any other way to do on line 7?
$q = "SELECT * FROM user";
$res = mysqli_query($conn, $q) or die(mysql_error());
$userList = "";
while($user = mysqli_fetch_array($res)) {
$userList .= $user['userList'].";;";
}
echo $userList;
$userList .= $user['userList'].";;";
means the variable named userList will be appended with the result from the query. after each result you are appending ";;" because of the period.
if you dont want to append the ;; do the following:
$q = "SELECT * FROM user";
$res = mysqli_query($conn, $q) or die(mysql_error());
$userList = "";
while($user = mysqli_fetch_array($res)) {
$userList .= $user['userList'];
}
echo $userList;
This code is a function calling a function in php. The function call is never called.
function saveSubject(){
$result = mysql_query("select * from term where description='".$_POST['term']."'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM);
global $term;
$term = $row[0];
$x=1;
while(isset($_POST['subCode'.$x])and isset($_POST['subTitle'.$x]) and isset($_POST['subUnit'.$x])){
$code = $_POST['subCode'.$x];
$title = $_POST['subTitle'.$x];
$unit = $_POST['subUnit'.$x];
$query = "INSERT INTO subject(subcode, description, units, termid)
VALUES('".$code."','".$title."',".$unit.",".$term.")";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * from subject where subcode='".$code."'");
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0){
$message = "Subject Code : ".$code;
prompt($message);
}else{
mysql_query($query);
savePre($code, $x);
}
$x++;
}
}
function savePre($code, $y){
$pre = mysql_query("SELECT subject.subcode from subject left join term
on term.termid=subject.termid
left join curriculum on term.termid = curriculum.curriculumid
where term.courseid =".$_POST['course']);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($pre, MYSQL_NUM)){
$c = $row[0].$y;
if(isset($_POST[$c])){
$result = mysql_query("Select * from pre_requisite where pre_requisites=".$row[0]."and subject=".$code);
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0){
$message = "";
}else{
mysql_query("INSERT into pre_requisites(pre_requisite, subject)
values (".$row[0].", ".$code.")");
}
}
}
}
Calling function savePre() in saveSubjec() but the calling is not working. I cannot find out what is wrong. Please help!
Simple...
You code is
$query = "INSERT INTO subject(subcode, description, units, termid)
VALUES('".$code."','".$title."',".$unit.",".$term.")";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * from subject where subcode='".$code."'");
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
$message = "Subject Code : ".$code;
prompt($message);
}else{
mysql_query($query);
savePre($code, $x);
}
from above code you can imagine that you are inserting record to database and then selecting that record using subcode match where condition so it will always return 1 as output so your else condition will never get execute.
That's the reason why you are not able to call savePre function.
You want to define savePre() function above the saveSubject() function. Use this.
function savePre($code, $y)
{
$pre = mysql_query("SELECT subject.subcode from subject left join term
on term.termid=subject.termid
left join curriculum on term.termid = curriculum.curriculumid
where term.courseid =".$_POST['course']);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($pre, MYSQL_NUM))
{
$c = $row[0].$y;
if(isset($_POST[$c]))
{
$result = mysql_query("Select * from pre_requisite where pre_requisites=".$row[0]."and subject=".$code);
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0){
$message = "";
}else{
mysql_query("INSERT into pre_requisites(pre_requisite, subject)
values (".$row[0].", ".$code.")");
}
}
}
}
function saveSubject()
{
$result = mysql_query("select * from term where description='".$_POST['term']."'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM);
global $term;
$term = $row[0];
$x=1;
while(isset($_POST['subCode'.$x])and isset($_POST['subTitle'.$x]) and isset($_POST['subUnit'.$x]))
{
$code = $_POST['subCode'.$x];
$title = $_POST['subTitle'.$x];
$unit = $_POST['subUnit'.$x];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * from subject where subcode='".$code."'");
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0){
$message = "Subject Code : ".$code;
prompt($message);
}
else
{
$query = "INSERT INTO subject(subcode, description, units, termid)
VALUES('".$code."','".$title."',".$unit.",".$term.")";
mysql_query($query);
savePre($code, $x);
}
$x++;
}
}
Here is my code:
$result = mysqli_query($dbconnection, Data::followUser($user_id, $followUser_id));
$result returns empty here.
followUser method in class Data
public static function followUser($user_id, $followUser_id) {
global $database;
$query = "
SELECT *
FROM profile_follow
WHERE user_id = '{$user_id}'
AND follow_id = '{$followUser_id}';";
$result = $database -> query($query);
$num = mysqli_num_rows($result);
if ($num < 1) {
$toast = "Follow";
$query = "
INSERT INTO profile_follow (user_id, follow_id)
VALUES ('{$user_id}', '{$followUser_id}');";
$result = $database -> query($query);
} elseif ($num > 0) {
$toast = "Unfollow";
$query = "
DELETE FROM profile_follow
WHERE user_id = '{$user_id}'
AND follow_id = '{$followUser_id}';";
$result = $database -> query($query);
}
return $toast;
}
I have verified the function works correctly in echoing out $toast. It is either Follow or Unfollow based on condition. I don't think I am handling it right when it comes out?
Supplemental:
Here is what I am doing with $result:
if ($result == "Follow") {
$output["result"] = "Follow";
echo json_encode($output);
} elseif ($result == "Unfollow") {
$output["result"] = "Unfollow";
echo json_encode($output);
}
What does this all accomplish? You've basically got:
mysqli_query($dbconnection, 'Unfollow');
which is NOT a valid query in any way. $result is NOT empty. It's a boolean false, indicating a failed query...
