DigitalChaos85 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Ok, the point of this code is I want a user to be able to create a campaign, two things need to be unique when creating a campaign, the name and the keyword. The name needs to be unique to the table, and the keyword needs to be unique to the user. I can't seem to figure it out and I'm sure it's a problem with my SQL queries. Any help is appreciated if($user && $name && $pw && $kw && $desc && $reply) { //Check for a UNIQUE campaign Name $q = "SELECT user_id FROM campaigns WHERE name='$name'"; $r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q) or trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc)); $qq = "SELECT name FROM campaigns WHERE (user_id={$_SESSION['user_id']} AND keyword='$kw')"; $rr = mysqli_query ($dbc, $qq) or trigger_error("Query: $qq\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc)); if(mysqli_num_rows($r) == 0) // Campaign Name is Unique { if(mysqli_num_rows($rr) == 0) // Keyword is Unique to user { //Add campaign to database $q = "INSERT INTO campaigns (user_id, name, description, password, keyword , reply, creation_date) VALUES ('$user', '$name', '$desc', '$pw', '$kw', '$reply', NOW() )"; $r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q) or trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc)); //If it ran OK if(mysqli_affected_rows($dbc) == 1) { echo '<p>Campaign Successfully Created</p>'; include('footer.html'); exit(); } else { echo '<p>Campaign could not be created</p>'; } } else { echo 'Keyword is not unique'; } } else //campaign name is not UNIQUE { echo 'Your campaign name is not unique'; } } else { echo 'There was a problem creating your new campaign'; } mysqli_close($dbc); } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/232464-inserting-into-database-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro2 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 You might be missing single quotes around the user_id here unless it's a number: $qq = "SELECT name FROM campaigns WHERE (user_id={$_SESSION['user_id']} AND keyword='$kw')"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/232464-inserting-into-database-problems/#findComment-1195766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
