My error below returns (echos) that there is no data under the table sites to display. But, there is. Why is it doing this?

 

class_l.php

<?php

class displaySites 
{
function grabSites()
{
	$query = mysql_query("SELECT title,description,votes,dates,comments,out,in FROM sites ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 100");

	if(mysql_num_rows($query) > 0)
	{
		while($fetch = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
		{
			echo "
			<div id='post-1' class='post'>
			<h2 class='title'><a href='#'>". $fetch['title'] ."</a></h2>
			<h3 class='date'>Submitted on ". $fetch['date'] ."</h3>
			<div class='entry'>
			<p>". nl2br(stripslashes($fetch['description'])) ."</p>
			</div>
			<p class='meta'><a href='#'>View</a></p>
			<div class='hr'>

			</div>
			</div>
			";
		}
	}
	else
	{
			echo "

			";
	}
}
}

class register

function createAccount()
{
	$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
	$password = md5(sha1(sha1($_POST['password'])));
	$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title']);
	$description = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['description']);

	if(isset($username) && isset($password) && isset($name) && isset($description))
	{
		if(!$username || !$password || !$name || !$description)

			}

	}
	else

"in" & "out" are reserved MySQL words.  You should always try to avoid naming columns after these words.  You either need to rename your column names and change your queries

OR

put backtics around the tables names wherever you use these reserved words.

I can't remember how many times this has happened to me, yet I still forget..... -.-

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: Still doesn't display. <.<

 

How the hell do I manage to make so many bugs... D;

Is it because you have the functions written in your file, but you don't execute them?  Like all your variables and things are set in the file that you include_once, but you don't actually call upon the function, so the variables are blank.

I don't think thats the reason. If that were the reason, the text wouldn't be displayed on index.php

Your need to test, using some error checking logic in your code, if your queries executed without error before you can use mysql_num_rows(). If your query failed due to an error of some kind (returned a FALSE value instead of a result resource) you need to handle the error and report/log information about the error so that you can find and fix it. You need to -

 

1) Generate and output a 'user' message, such as 'Sorry, an error occurred and the requested operation cannot be completed!'

 

2) Generate a system error message containing the query that failed and the reason why it failed (other information such as line number and file name) and then use trigger_error to log and/or display the error information, depending on your display_errors and log_errors settings.

 

The use of reserved words that Maq pointed out would have resulted in sql syntax errors and having some error checking and error reporting/logging logic in your code for the mysql_query() statement would have show you.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
