.josh Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 $alpha = range('A','Z'); function linkify(&$letter) { $letter = "<a href='?l={$letter}'>{$letter}</a>"; } array_walk($alpha,'linkify'); $alpha = implode(' - ',$alpha); echo $alpha; $search = (in_array(strtolower($_GET['l']),range('a','z'))? $_GET['l'] : 'A'; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Bands WHERE bandname LIKE '{$search}%"); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.josh Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 damn man... I did the hard part for you. Can't find a simple syntax error? $search = (in_array(strtolower($_GET['l']),range('a','z')))? $_GET['l'] : 'A'; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 It is because your query failed. Do you need to edit the column or table names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 And there's also a missing ' $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Bands WHERE bandname LIKE '{$search}%'"); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
