Is there a shorter way of determining if a field contains text?
This works but I wonder if I can K.I.S.S. it? I really only need to know
if there is or is not a field containing the text specified. I don't
need to see it.
<?php
// Request the text
$text = "Joe of Egypt";
$sql = "SELECT title FROM book WHERE title LIKE '$text'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
echo("<P>Error performing query: " .
mysql_error() . "</P>");
exit();
}
// Display the text
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {
echo("<P>" . $row["title"] . "</P>");
}
if ($row["title"] == "")
echo ("Empty!")
?>
