Hi

 

Hope someone can point me it the right direction with this query.

 

I have a table of mysql query results on my page each of which is a link, how can I set a session variable depending on which link is chosen, each link has 2 fields, link_id and link_name, link_name is the visable item and link_id is the value I would like to set the variable to.

 

Thanks

 

Gordon

if(isset($link1)) { 
  $_SESSION['var'] = $link_id1;
} else {
  $_SESSION['var'] = $link_id2;
}

? An if/else statement works; if it gets more complicated, you can do a switch/case.

 

It'd help if there were code attached to see what you are trying to do.

Happy to add to code if it helps:

 

<?php session_start(); require_once('Connections/cycle.php'); ?>

<?php

if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {

function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")

{

  if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {

    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

  }

 

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

 

  switch ($theType) {

    case "text":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";

      break;   

    case "long":

    case "int":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";

      break;

    case "double":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";

      break;

    case "date":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";

      break;

    case "defined":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;

      break;

  }

  return $theValue;

}

}

 

$maxRows_Recordset1 = 25;

$pageNum_Recordset1 = 0;

if (isset($_GET['pageNum_Recordset1'])) {

  $pageNum_Recordset1 = $_GET['pageNum_Recordset1'];

}

$startRow_Recordset1 = $pageNum_Recordset1 * $maxRows_Recordset1;

 

$colname_Recordset1 = "-1";

if (isset($_SESSION['location'])) {

  $colname_Recordset1 = $_SESSION['location'];

}

mysql_select_db($database_cycle, $cycle);

$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT route_id, route_name FROM route WHERE location_id = %s ORDER BY route_name ASC", GetSQLValueString($colname_Recordset1, "int"));

$query_limit_Recordset1 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_Recordset1, $startRow_Recordset1, $maxRows_Recordset1);

$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_limit_Recordset1, $cycle) or die(mysql_error());

$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);

 

if (isset($_GET['totalRows_Recordset1'])) {

  $totalRows_Recordset1 = $_GET['totalRows_Recordset1'];

} else {

  $all_Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1);

  $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($all_Recordset1);

}

$totalPages_Recordset1 = ceil($totalRows_Recordset1/$maxRows_Recordset1)-1;
