wildteen: it also contains text... it can be whatever... i used this code: $b = fgets($fh); $a = substr($b,0,-1); the second line removes the character which was causing the bug.. any idea what that character is? I tried removing specifically the newline character but that wouldnt work.. so i figured it is another type of character... the $b variable is loaded from a file of this format: ... 7 9 Hite 6 Princesha ....

The problem appears to be that i am loading the database info from a text file and it appears that at the end of each word there is a type of delimiter.... A new line character maybe? What's the best solution for those cases? Thanks alot!

i have setup a database with this table structure: $query = "CREATE TABLE entry ( entryID int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY(entryID), URL varchar(4096), name varchar(1024), kw tinytext )"; I have filled in the database with data: entryID 1 URL http://www.bmwdealer.info/kwngat/9 Hite 6 Princesh... name 02-Poni - Thashethemet-9 Hite 6 Princesha kw 9 (data copied from a sample row from phpmyAdmin). Now this is my code: $term = '1'; $term2 = '9'; $query = "SELECT * FROM entry WHERE entryID = '$term' AND kw='$term2' "; $result = mysql_query($query); $numresults = mysql_num_rows($result); echo $numresults."<br>"; if(!$result) { die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error()); } else { //something was found.. while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "-Entry-<br>"; echo $row['entryID']."<br>"; echo $row['URL']."<br>"; echo $row['name']."<br>"; echo $row['kw']."<br>"; } }; THIS CODE DOESNT GIVE ANY RESULTS AND THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE: AND kw='$term2' part of the QUERY because if i remove it, it DOES produce the expected result. Any idea what is going on? Why is it not matching the kw field? Please help me out with this thanks alot, in advance..
