HELP PLEASE! selecting rows using multiple sql statements

[ICEcoffee]

Hi all

 

I am developing a mysql/php database using Dreamweaver MX.

 

I have a page which selects rows from a number of recordsets. One of these recordsets selects from a table named notetaker. the criteria for selecting appropriate records are: a) from URL \"CustomerID\" and B) if field catagory = \"maintenance\". in dreamweaver mx this works:

 

SELECT *

FROM notetaker

WHERE CustomerID = colname

ORDER BY CtelNoteID ASC (see also below for full code)

 

BUT THIS DOES NOT:

 

SELECT *

FROM notetaker

WHERE CustomerID = colname AND notetaker.Catagory=\"maintenance\"

ORDER BY CtelNoteID ASC

 

I need to sort this sharpish, so quick help really appreciated.

 

cheers

 

***************** code **************************************

$colname_RSnotes = \"1\";

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[\'CustomerID\'])) {

$colname_RSnotes = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS[\'CustomerID\'] : addslashes($HTTP_GET_VARS[\'CustomerID\']);

}

mysql_select_db($database_connDiamond, $connDiamond);

$query_RSnotes = sprintf(\"SELECT * FROM notetaker WHERE CustomerID = %s ORDER BY CtelNoteID ASC\", $colname_RSnotes);

$RSnotes = mysql_query($query_RSnotes, $connDiamond) or die(mysql_error());

$row_RSnotes = mysql_fetch_assoc($RSnotes);

$totalRows_RSnotes = mysql_num_rows($RSnotes);

I guess the problem is in the query formation

 

$query_RSnotes = sprintf("SELECT * FROM notetaker WHERE CustomerID = %s ORDER BY CtelNoteID ASC", $colname_RSnotes); 

echo $query_RSnotes;

 

see what you get when you display the query?

 

You can also try this

 

$query_RSnotes = "SELECT * FROM notetaker WHERE CustomerID =\'$colname_RSnotes\' ORDER BY CtelNoteID ASC"; 

echo $query_RSnotes;
