[PHP] failed query results
Hello all, i am trying to query a mysql database to see if a customer all
ready exists in a database and if so then use there customer id to insert
data into another table. Can anyone tell me what valuse mysql returns if the
query returns no value? i have the following code:
$customer_id_check=("SELECT id FROM $customer_table WHERE firstname =
'$firstname' && lastname = '$lastname' && email = '$email'");
$result1=mysql_query($customer_id_check);
if (!$result1) {
print "theres no such customer!";
}
which i thought should echo 'theres no such customer!' if a customer didnt
exist who fitted the query, however it doesnt and if i echo $result1 i get
'Resource id #2 not what i was expecting (was more expecting something along
the lines of NULL).
Thanks for any help in advance!!!

[PHP] Date and Time
Hi all,
Anyone know any reason that the date function would return 2am in the
morning as 102 if i use it in the following manner?
$time=date("H:i:s");
print $time;
this outputs 102:14:51 instead of 02:14:51, anyone know where the 1 comes
from? and why its there?

[PHP] keymappings - PHP or MySQL?
Hi, At the moment im getting a difference in keymappings between what is typed into a field and what is stored in the database. I have an html form that gets a text string called $email and this is inserted into a VARCHAR database feild via php, the problem is when special characters are included in the email address. For example [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets stored in the database as baldey\[EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone seen this before? Is this a PHP or mysql issue? Do i have to set special options to use a UK keymap or something like that? If anyone has any links to docs that deal with this sort of thing i'd really appreciate them!!

You might want to do some detective work to hone in on what's really going on. Before storing the string into the database, print out the actual numeric code for each character by looping over the string with ord(). Then do the same when you pull the data out of the database. Hopefully that'll help narrow down where this is happening. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] passing variables between php forms
Hi sorry to annoy you AGAIN, but i cant seem to get it working i think its something to do with the order that i put things in: #end of html and start of php script '; ?>php # end of php script back into html Are your details correct? If i put the echo or INPUT type outside of the php script this works, but obviously just returns a string '.$quantity.' and not waht the variable $quantity holds. This is extremely confusing. How do i get this php variable to be passed to the HTML so it can be posted I thought the way i have it the echo would make the variable testvar available to the browser, and then i would be able to retrieve it by $_POST[testvar]; or $_POST[$testvar]; in either the confirm.php or updateaddress.php that the html posts to? Yet again thanks in advance for any help. Confused Cheers From baldey_uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] using header ();
Hi all,
Can someone tell me how to use the header function? Can i use it with
relative URLs for example:
header ("Location:index2.php");
If i have that line somewhere in my script will the browser be automatically
taken there or do i have to echo it or something of the like? Thanks for any
help in advance!
Cheers From

RE: [PHP] using header ();
Yes i have tested it thats why i am asking, as it is not working either way
for me, it just stays on the same screen but blanks the previous output to
the page.

RE: [PHP] using header ();
Here ya go:
Basically im trying to update details in a database, after the new details
are put into a form they are printed to the screen with a 'are the details
correct' scenario. From there if they click 'no' i want them to be put back
to the updateaddress.php page but also pass two php variables back to that
page for use later on. If they say yes i will do mysql query calls and
update the database but also need to forward them to another php page and
pass varaible values to that new page
';
switch($_POST['choice'])
{
case "yes" :
#somethin will happen here ;
break;
#if not we need to keep the customer_id and quantity and start again
case "no" :
echo '';
header("Location: updateaddress.php");
exit;
}
?>
Cheers

[PHP] header problems
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if there is any reason why this would not be working?
mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass) or die(header("Location:
error.php"));
What im trying to do is connect to the database and if that fails send the
browser to the error page. But the browser just sits there on the page that
fails to connect Thanks for any advice/help in advance

[PHP] version differences
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me whether or not the sprintf function existed in php 4.12?
I have the following line:
$order_value=sprintf('%.2f', floatval($quantity)*7.0);
Which works at home on my version 4.2 of php but whne i upload to the server
running 4.12 the script just seems to stop there and go no further? Any
help, advice or pointing to relevant docs would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers From
baldey_uk
