Topshed Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 MySQL client version: 5.1.56 PHP Version information: 3.4.4 I am in trouble with a query The normal one which I use is like this, The idividual scrips are for Gallery Pages to populate the detailed notes with each image so the vars are to fine the record All 3 fields have approx 50% zeros So I enter the numbers where they exist and leave zeros where they don't.. $tble = 'table3'; $a1_num = '12345'; // 5 Medium int can be 0 to 99999 $b1_num = '2001'; // 4 Samll int can be 0 to 9999 $c1_pregr = ' 0'; // 4 Samll int can be 0 to 9999 $db="SELECT * FROM `$tble` WHERE `a1#` = '{$a1_num}' OR 'b1#' = '{$B1_num}'" ; $result = mysqli_query($connect,$db) or die(mysqli_error($connect)); if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) { while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) { etc......... Unfortunately field b1# has some duplicate numbers only 20 or so but when one occurs it finds the first one and of course I often want the second one. To fix this I tried to utilize the third field c1# which should fix my problem but I cannot get it to work None of thefollowing variants work giving me "Query returned 0 results. " $db="SELECT * FROM `$tble` WHERE `b1#` = '{$b1_num}' AND 'c1#' = '{$c1_num}'" ; $db="SELECT * FROM `$tble` WHERE `a1#` = '{$a1_num}' AND 'b1#` = '{$b1_num}' AND c1#' = '{$c1_num}'" ; My preferred Varient would be to query all 3 fields would be most welcomeplease Roy...

Muddy_Funster Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 could you post a sample dataset? and a breakdown of what each field is being used to store?

awjudd Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Your query is wrong ... using ' instead of `. $db="SELECT * FROM `$tble` WHERE `b1#` = '{$b1_num}' AND`c1#` = '{$c1_num}'" ; $db="SELECT * FROM `$tble` WHERE `a1#` = '{$a1_num}' AND `b1#` = '{$b1_num}' AND `c1#` = '{$c1_num}'" ; ~juddster Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/248323-nede-help-with-select-where/#findComment-1275210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
