wright67uk Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hi, I'm trying to prevent strings that read "Favourite" or" 2nd Favourite" from being inserted into my database. I've looked at the manual and I think that i'm using == correctly. Perhaps i'm going wrong elsewhere? <?php if ($mysqli->connect_error) {die('Connect Error: ' . $mysqli->connect_error);} if ($stmt = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM races WHERE name = '$name' and race = '$race' ")) { $row_cnt = $stmt->num_rows; $stmt->close();} if ($row_cnt > 0) { $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("UPDATE races SET odds = ?, race = ? WHERE name = ?"); $stmt->bind_param('sss', $odds, $race, $name); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->close(); } else if (($name !== "Favourite") OR ($name !== "2nd Favourite")) { $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO races VALUES (?, ?, ?)"); $stmt->bind_param('sss', $name, $odds, $race); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->close(); } } } } } else { ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wright67uk Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Ah thanks Jessica. I think somthing else is wrong aswell. It let's in 2nd Favourite and adds it many many times. I'm trying to put the feed into mysql. If the feed is unavailable, then I want the script to try again, hence the refresh. I wasn't expecting 2nd Favourite to be added at all, let alone over and over again. <html><body> <?php ob_start(); $mysqli = new mysqli('', '', '' ); $url = "http://whdn.williamhill.com/pricefeed/openbet_cdn?action=template&template=getHierarchyByMarketType&classId=2&marketSort=--&filterBIR=N"; $root = @simplexml_load_file($url); if ($root) { $data = get_object_vars($root); $response = $data['response']; $class = $response->williamhill->class; $attClass = $class->attributes(); $types = $class->type; foreach ($types as $_type) { $_attributeType = $_type->attributes(); $markets = $_type->market; $html = ''; foreach ($markets as $_market) {$_attributeMarket = $_market->attributes(); $participants = $_market->participant; foreach ($participants as $_participants) {$_attributeParticipant = $_participants->attributes(); $name = $_attributeParticipant["name"]; $odds = $_attributeParticipant["odds"]; $race = $_attributeMarket["name"]; echo $name . " - " . $odds . " - " . $race ?><br/> <?php if ($mysqli->connect_error) {die('Connect Error: ' . $mysqli->connect_error);} if ($stmt = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM races WHERE name = '$name' and race = '$race' ")) { $row_cnt = $stmt->num_rows; $stmt->close();} if ($row_cnt > 0) { $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("UPDATE races SET odds = ?, race = ? WHERE name = ?"); $stmt->bind_param('sss', $odds, $race, $name); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->close(); } else if ($name !=="2nd Favourite") { $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO races VALUES (?, ?, ?)"); $stmt->bind_param('sss', $name, $odds, $race); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->close(); } } } } } else { ?> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3 ;url=<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"><?php } ob_flush(); ?></body></html> Edited May 3, 2013 by wright67uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
