AncientSage Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm attempting to use this query via PHP:[code]"SELECT song_name, song_author, song_genre FROM jukebox WHERE " . $song_selected . " = song_filename"; //Note, this line.[/code]All good up 'till that last line, I tried switching it around (where the variable is) and such, but it keeps telling me unknown column, or SQL Error 1054.Now, I'm not too familiar with the WHERE clause, but if I want to tell SQL only to select results based on a row in song_filename, how would I do that with the WHERE clause? 'cause my method doesn't appear to be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoz Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 The $song_selected string should be surrounding by quotes[code]"SELECT song_name, song_author, song_genre FROM jukebox WHERE '" . $song_selected . "' = song_filename";[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
