Can someone run over these functions I have written to explain if my logic is correct. I'm still new to PHP and am trying to get my head round it! This first function is to collect a list of order numbers from my database where checked = no. Am I correct in assuming that the variable $orderid will be an array of results returned? How can I check this?
function get_live_orders() { $conn = db_connect(); $query = "select orderid from email where checked='no'"; $result = @mysql_query($query); if(mysql_numrows($result)>0) $orderid = @mysql_fetch_array($result); return $orderid; } This second function is to take these order numbers and compare them to order numbers in a second table and return the result of that. So if order number 100001 is in the first array from the above function and there is a number 100001 in the second query result I want to take all the data in that row and return it. function get_order_details() { $orderid = get_live_orders(); $conn = db_connect(); $query = "select * from orders where orderid='$orderid'"; $result = @mysql_query($query); if (!$result) return false; $result = mysql_result($result, 0, "orderid"); return $result; } I haven't actually run this yet but I'd like someone to explain to me what these functions will do so I am not just copy pasting code and hoping to get it right eventually! Probably I have written this wrong anyway and would like help before I actually attempt to do what I am after. I'll look back on this tomorrow so any help will be greatly appreciated.
