Need help retrieving results from certain table

As thread title says, currently using this code to pull in listings from the "listings" table in the database

<?PHP

if ($_POST[limit] != $nil)
$_SESSION['limit'] = $_POST['limit'];

if ($_SESSION[limit] == $nil)
$_SESSION['limit'] = 20;
//---------------------------------------
?>
<?PHP include "bit_centerbar.php"; ?>


<?php
//-------------------------
if (empty($rowxxx['SORT']))
$rowxxx['SORT'] = 'TITLE ASC';
else {
if ($rowxxx['SORT'] == Alphabetically)
$rowxxx['SORT'] = 'TITLE ASC';
if ($rowxxx['SORT'] == 'Date Added')
$rowxxx['SORT'] = 'YA DESC, MA DESC, DA DESC, TITLE DESC';
if ($rowxxx['SORT'] == 'Date Updated')
$rowxxx['SORT'] = 'YU DESC, MU DESC, DU DESC, TITLE ASC';
}
if (empty($_GET[sortby]))
$sort = $rowxxx['SORT'];
$_GET[sortby] = "$sort";
$table = "LISTINGS";
$string = "WHERE STATUS = 'Active' AND CATEGORY LIKE '%-$_GET[category]-%'";
if (empty($_GET[category])) $string = "WHERE STATUS = 'Active'";
if ($_GET[category] == '') $string = "WHERE ID != ''";
$swap = "&page=$_GET

---

&category=$_GET[category]";

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$query1 = @mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM $table INNER JOIN PACKAGES ON LISTINGS.PACKAGE = PACKAGES.ID $string $adv_search ORDER BY PACKAGES.RANK ASC, $_GET[sortby]");
//$query1 = @mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM $table $string $adv_search ORDER BY $_GET[sortby]");
$numrows= @mysql_num_rows ($query1);
if (!isset ($_GET['show'])) {
$display = 1;
} else {
$display = $_GET['show'];
}

$start = (($display * $_SESSION['limit']) - $_SESSION['limit']);

$query2 = @mysql_query ("SELECT *, LISTINGS.ID AS LID FROM $table INNER JOIN PACKAGES ON LISTINGS.PACKAGE = PACKAGES.ID $string $adv_search ORDER BY PACKAGES.RANK ASC, $_GET[sortby] LIMIT $start,$_SESSION[limit]");
//$query2 = @mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM $table $string $adv_search ORDER BY $_GET[sortby] LIMIT $start,$_SESSION[limit]");
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_array ($query2)) {

include "browse_display.php";

}
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
?>

<?php if ($numrows == '0') { ?>

<div class="tdbox" style="width: 100%;"></div>
<?php if (empty($_GET[category])) include 'bit_centerbar.php'; ?>

<? echo $browse_no; ?>

<?PHP } else { ?>

<form action="?show=1&page=browse&category=<?php echo $_GET[category]; ?>&mode=<?php echo $_GET[mode]; ?>" method="post" name="form" id="form">
<div class="pagi" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="<? echo $browse_show; ?>" />
<select name="limit">
<option selected>
<?php echo $_SESSION['limit']; ?>
</option>
<option>1</option>
<option>5</option>
<option>10</option>
<option>20</option>
<option>30</option>
<option>50</option>
<option>100</option>
</select> <? echo $browse_lists; ?> <?php include "pagination_bot.php"; ?>
</div>
</form>


<?PHP } ?>

 

But now I am trying to find a way to display the results from particular states, i.e. Victoria, Queensland(this is from Australia).

 

I am trying the following code, but currently getting the "no listings here, check back soon" message with no errors.

 

I'm very new to PHP so not sure if I need to tweak the code to pull the results from the "LISTINGS" table, or the "LOCATIONS"

 

 

<?PHP

if ($_POST[limit] != $nil)
$_SESSION['limit'] = $_POST['limit'];

if ($_SESSION[limit] == $nil)
$_SESSION['limit'] = 20;
//---------------------------------------
?>
<?PHP include "bit_centerbar.php"; ?>


<?php
//-------------------------
if (empty($rowxxx['SORT']))
$rowxxx['SORT'] = 'TITLE ASC';
else {
if ($rowxxx['SORT'] == Alphabetically)
$rowxxx['SORT'] = 'TITLE ASC';
if ($rowxxx['SORT'] == 'Date Added')
$rowxxx['SORT'] = 'YA DESC, MA DESC, DA DESC, TITLE DESC';
if ($rowxxx['SORT'] == 'Date Updated')
$rowxxx['SORT'] = 'YU DESC, MU DESC, DU DESC, TITLE ASC';
}
if (empty($_GET[sortby]))
$sort = $rowxxx['SORT'];
$_GET[sortby] = "$sort";
$table = "LISTINGS";
$string = "WHERE STATUS = 'Active' AND CATEGORY LIKE '%-$_GET[sTATE]-%'";
if (empty($_GET[category])) $string = "WHERE STATUS = 'Active'";
if ($_GET[category] == '') $string = "WHERE ID != 'Queensland'";
$swap = "&page=$_GET

---

&state=$_GET[state]";

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$query1 = @mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM $table INNER JOIN PACKAGES ON LISTINGS.PACKAGE = PACKAGES.ID $string $adv_search ORDER BY PACKAGES.RANK ASC, $_GET[sortby]");
//$query1 = @mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM $table $string $adv_search ORDER BY $_GET[sortby]");
$numrows= @mysql_num_rows ($query1);
if (!isset ($_GET['show'])) {
$display = 1;
} else {
$display = $_GET['show'];
}

$start = (($display * $_SESSION['limit']) - $_SESSION['limit']);

$query2 = @mysql_query ("SELECT *, LISTINGS.ID AS LID FROM $table INNER JOIN PACKAGES ON LISTINGS.PACKAGE = PACKAGES.ID $string $adv_search ORDER BY PACKAGES.RANK ASC, $_GET[sortby] LIMIT $start,$_SESSION[limit]");
//$query2 = @mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM $table $string $adv_search ORDER BY $_GET[sortby] LIMIT $start,$_SESSION[limit]");
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_array ($query2)) {

include "bwose_display.php";

}
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
?>

<?php if ($numrows == '0') { ?>

<div class="tdbox" style="width: 100%;"></div>
<?php if (empty($_GET[category])) include 'bit_centerbar.php'; ?>

<? echo $browse_no; ?>

<?PHP } else { ?>

<form action="" method="post" name="form" id="form">
<div class="pagi" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="<? echo $browse_show; ?>" />
<select name="limit">
<option selected>
<?php echo $_SESSION['limit']; ?>
</option>
<option>1</option>
<option>5</option>
<option>10</option>
<option>20</option>
<option>30</option>
<option>50</option>
<option>100</option>
</select> <? echo $browse_lists; ?> <?php include "pagination_bot.php"; ?>
</div>
</form>


<?PHP } ?>

1. get rid of the @ error suppression

2. echo your variables and queries to determine they contain what you expect them to contain

[Jdog]

I removed the error suppression and it's still outputting all the results, not just the results from that designated state.

[Jessica]

See the link in my signature on debugging SQL. You need to check for errors.

Thanks Jessica, I will have a look at that right now.
