Jessica Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Well that's pretty much the MAIN thing PHP is used for, and there's a million tutorials showing it. There's a link in my signature that goes over debugging SQL, the manual has dozens of examples...

Jessica Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 You're right, clearly we've all been doing it wrong for a decade. Your way is clearly much simpler. Let me know when you come up with the genius new way to search, filter, and display your data, in your new simple way.

Jessica Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 How is it easier? You can't figure out how to do the thing you're trying to do? What is "easy" at the moment will not always be easy. And that's pretty obvious from the fact that it's not easy right now.   Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/270216-trouble-connecting-to-my-sql-database/page/2/#findComment-1390142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikachu2000 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 You have data in a SQLite database. You're using file and string functions to access it instead of the functions that are designed to work with SQLite databases. How can you possibly think it isn't wrong?

Pikachu2000 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Excellent. I find it's always best to take a large step backwards rather than learn to do something properly.
