crzyman Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this statement? If there are four rows in the database a fifth one will be added, but it will not update. Any ideas?[code]if ($num_rows == "5") {$sql = mysql_query("UPDATE shoutbox SET message='$message', time=now() WHERE artist_name='$artist_name' AND time=(SELECT min(time) FROM shoutbox WHERE artist_name='$artist_name')");}else { $sql=MYSQL_QUERY("INSERT INTO shoutbox (artist_name,name,message)". "VALUES ('$artist_name','$name', '$message')"); }[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Could be something simple, like how the names that are stored in the db are formatted (Empty spaces, tabs...etc)Try:[code]<?php$query_time = mysql_query("SELECT min(time) FROM shoutbox WHERE trim(artist_name)='$artist_name'");$thetime = mysql_fetch_array($query_time);$sql = mysql_query("UPDATE shoutbox SET message='$message', time=now() WHERE trim(artist_name)='$artist_name' && time='$thetime[time]'");?>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
