[SOLVED] Variable shows, but not for all

timmah1 · May 6, 2009

I have a script that grab everything from the database depending on a package type, then shows everything according to the package type.

There are 6 packages, everything shows perfect for package 1-5, but for the 6th package, the $hint part does not show.

The hint is actually a rollover

Can anybody look at the code and tell me why this part of the code don't show the hint?

case "6-spl":
				$Ddate = date("Y-m-d");
				$firstDate = date("Y-m-01");
				$lastDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-1 Day"));
				$Dtime = date("H:i");

				$query1 = "SELECT * FROM packages1 WHERE sport = '$sport' AND start = '".date("Y-m-d")."'";
				$w1 = mysql_query($query1);
				$numrows = mysql_num_rows($w1);	

				if($numrows == 0 ){
				//echo "No special for today";
						$query3 = "SELECT * FROM packages1 WHERE sport = '$sport' AND start BETWEEN '$firstDate' AND '$lastDate' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1";
						$w3 = mysql_query($query3);
							while($b3 = mysql_fetch_array($w3)){

								$id = $b3['id'];
								$end = date("Y-m-d h:i:s", strtotime($b3['exp']));
								$id = $b3['id'];
								$name = $b3['name'];
								$package = $b3['package'];
								$start = date("Y-m-d h:i:s");			
								$hint = $b2['hint'];					
								$price = $b3['price'];
							}
				}			
				elseif($numrows > 0){	
				//echo "There is a special for today<br />";
						$query1 = "SELECT * FROM packages1 WHERE sport = '$sport' AND start = '".date("Y-m-d")."' AND '".date("H:i")."' >= starttime ORDER BY starttime DESC LIMIT 1";
						$w1 = mysql_query($query1);
						$numrows = mysql_num_rows($w1);

							if($numrows == 0 ) {
								//echo "Special for today hasn't started yet<br />";
								$query1 = "SELECT * FROM packages1 WHERE sport = '$sport' AND start BETWEEN '$firstDate' AND '$lastDate' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1";
								$w1 = mysql_query($query1);
							}
							while($b2 = mysql_fetch_array($w1)){	
							//echo "Start time: $b2[starttime]<br />Current time: $Dtime<br />Special for current time";

									$id = $b2['id'];
									$end = date("Y-m-d h:i:s", strtotime($b2['exp']));
									$id = $b2['id'];
									$name = $b2['name'];
									$package = $b2['package'];
									$start = date("Y-m-d h:i:s");			
									$hint = $b2['hint'];

When you did a "view source" of the page in your browser to check it, was there data everywhere you expected?

Does the data possibly contain any HTML characters <, >, ", or ' that could break the HTML on your page?

Ken2k7 · May 6, 2009

$hint = $b2['hint'];

Did you mean $b3['hint']?

timmah1 · May 6, 2009

If I echo everything out, it shows with no problem.

When you mouseover the [?] on the page, it shows the hint

It does that with the top 5, but not the last

You can see what I mean here if you want

I correct that Ken2k7, but it's still not showing

Ken2k7 · May 6, 2009

Which is the last one?

Wednesday's NBA Basketball 2 Games Playoff Special [?]

^ Is that it?

timmah1 · May 6, 2009

Correct

That one is this code

case "6-spl":
               $Ddate = date("Y-m-d");
               $firstDate = date("Y-m-01");
               $lastDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-1 Day"));

I echoed out the hints on that page so if you go to it, you'll see that it does show

PFMaBiSmAd · May 6, 2009

Does the data possibly contain any HTML characters <, >, ", or ' that could break the HTML on your page?

Well it does. You must use htmlentities() with the second parameter ENT_QUOTES when you output content that could contain HTML special characters.

Ken2k7 · May 6, 2009

^ read above.

To explain why - the single quote in Wednesday's is killing your single quote in your JavaScript.

timmah1 · May 6, 2009

ok, I have this now

<a href="#" onMouseOver="showhint('<?=htmlentities($hint, ENT_QUOTES); ?>', this, event, '200px')">[?]</a><br />THIS IS THE HINT<br /><?=$hint; ?>

And it still doesn't show

Brian W · May 6, 2009

Theory, 'hint' isn't the name of the field... idk, maybe way off. (remember, if its 'Hint', 'hint' wont work)

while($b3 = mysql_fetch_array($w3)){
                                         die(nl2br(print_r($b3, TRUE)));//This will kill the application and feed out the variables, copy and paste the output into a reply.
                           $id = $b3['id'];
                           $end = date("Y-m-d h:i:s", strtotime($b3['exp']));
                           $id = $b3['id'];
                           $name = $b3['name'];
                           $package = $b3['package'];
                           $start = date("Y-m-d h:i:s");         
                           $hint = $b3['hint'];               
                           $price = $b3['price'];
                        }

timmah1 · May 6, 2009

hint is the field name, all lowercase

Ken2k7 · May 6, 2009

Oops, I thought ... nevermind. Overlooked his function. Use htmlspecialchars($hint, ENT_QUOTES).

timmah1 · May 6, 2009

ok, I figured it out

When it's being put in, it's inputting it normal in the database

Wednesday's 2 Game Playoff Special

Now, when I echo it out, I did this

$hint = addslashes($b3['hint']);
htmlentities($hint, ENT_QUOTES);

And it works now.

Thank you for your help
