Hey Everyone, I want to start out by saying thanks in advance for reading this. Since I started working with the XAMPP package this community has been a great resource, though this is my first post. most of my work has been modifying existing stuff in our network, this is my first project from scratch.
I am working on an access control project where I am storing site names and RFID tags in a table, and using PHP to check for existing records. Basically, I want to submit 2 credentials from a host (site and RFID), check if they exist together in the table, if so return TRUE or 1, if not return FALSE or 0. I am new to both PHP and MySQL (although I took a course years ago) so I am looking here for help.
On this server I have XAMPP installed and everything I need running. I have a table and created a few records for testing. My current trouble is getting PHP to return the proper values for the SQL query. The SQL query works fine, I think - it returns the number of rows that match and that record. I'm not sure this is the result I need to be able to deal with the way I want. Using other resources my current PHP statement looks like this:
if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE 'site_name' LIKE 'berland' AND 'card_id' LIKE '290093C84E' LIMIT 0 , 30"))>0){echo '1';}
else
{echo '0';}
So, my table has the entry as noted in this query above. Final one will be dynamic where the host will be sending those values - I will likely need help with that as well, but small steps first.;-) Anyway, I was playing around with the end statement >0{echo '1';} but wasn't able to make it do what I want.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
