[nowuseeme]

hey guys,

anyone have any idea why i cant get my code to show the results when i click submit?

thanks.

<?php
require("db.php");
$data = array();
if(!empty($_GET['term']))
{
    $query = "SELECT department, subject, message FROM supporttickets 
              WHERE ticketnumber = ?";
    $stmt = $db->prepare($query);
    $stmt->execute(array($_GET['term']));
    $data = $stmt->fetchAll();
}

foreach ($data as $row)
{
    echo htmlspecialchars($row['department']);
}
if (!$data)
{
    echo "Please enter valid Ticket Number.";
}

Do you have error reporting turned on?  What do you get if you do a print_r($data);  Are you sure the query isn't failing?

Ok well then you're not getting any results from the query or the query is failing.  You need to start diagnosing that part first.

Ok so i changed the $_GET TO $_POST and now it's working does that seem right?

No idea, you didn't show us how you were getting the value of ['term'] to the page in the first place.  So $_POST could be correct if you're using a form to send that data and the form method is set to "post".
