RickChase Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hello, I have a record label and am setting up a database to hold all information relating to our releases. I have the following statement that works great (to list them by chronologically by release date): $sql="SELECT * FROM entire_catalog ORDER BY release_date_us"; Now, I want to just list releases by a certain artist (Dysrhythmia, in this case) and when I use this... $sql="SELECT * FROM entire_catalog WHERE artist=Dysrhythmia ORDER BY release_date_us"; I get the dreaded \"Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource\" In my database, I have one table \"entire_catalog\" and in this table I have fields named \"artist\", \"title\", \"release_date_us\", \"release_date_eur\", etc... The \"artist\" field is setup as varchar(64) - why won\'t this work for me? In attempting to figure this out for myself, I changed the WHERE to pull only certain catalog numbers, and that worked great. But I cannot get it to pull only one artist by name. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the capitol \"D\" at the beginning of the name, but I need it to be there (in the \"artist\" field) so the name displays properly. Confused... Thank you for looking! Rick Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243-from-entire_catalog-where-artistdysrhythmia/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickChase Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 Update - I added a new field (artist_id) and if I use WHERE artist_id=1 then it works great (lists all releases by that artist). But I would much rather use the bands name than have to try and remember everyones number. Thanks again, Rick Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243-from-entire_catalog-where-artistdysrhythmia/#findComment-730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
