Help Needed with script


dr_overload

Recommended Posts

I'm a newbie and have tried to work out a script but just simply cant manage it. Any chance someone can help me?

Basically all I want to do is have a script that compares the values of two mysql fields, if the are the same, print the value of the third field, else print the value of fourth field.

I got the it working from without connecting to the database and giving the values in the script
ie
<?php
$a=2;
$b=2;
$c=5;
$d=0;
if ( $a == $b ) {
echo "$c";
} else {
echo "$d";
}
?>
But when i try to replace the values with what is in the database it doesnt work - I guess my script for comparing the mysql field values is not working properly.

Any help would be most appreciate.

Cheers

Are you limiting your sql query to specific records, or are you checking every record?

I have a login script and it will take the entry from the row of the inputted username

just count the rows returned by the query. if the user and password match, you will have a count of one

[code]$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user_table WHERE user_name_table = $posted_username AND password = $posted_password") or die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($sql) == '1'){
  // user was in database
}else{
  // user was not in database
}[/code]
