Microsoft Access Database


Recommended Posts

Hi All, I facing a problem with Ms Access. When i set my datatype to "Short Text", the data display perfectly. just because of limitation of "Short Text", it can only handle 255. So i decided to change the datatype to "Long Text", but the text wont display our. 

 

FYI, im using for web base data and i am using PHP language.

 

Thanks

What's your code?

$sql = "SELECT * FROM 
    (requestorInfo i 
    LEFT JOIN requestStatus s ON i.RequestID = s.RequestID)
    INNER JOIN requestRoomInfo ri ON ri.RequestID = i.RequestID";
$rs = odbc_exec($conn, $sql);

PHP CODE

echo "<tbody>";
while (odbc_fetch_row($rs)) {
                $desc = odbc_result($rs, "Description");

                $tbody = '<tr><td>'.$desc.'</td>
                echo $tbody . '';
                echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';


The $desc display out when the data type in Ms Acess is Short Text. Once i change to Long Text, it display empty.

Your code has quotes missing. Notice the color of the text in the code box above?

echo '<tbody>';
while (odbc_fetch_row($rs)) {
     $desc = odbc_result($rs, "Description");
     $tbody = '<tr><td>'.$desc.'</td>
     echo $tbody . ';
     echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';

Look at the output. It's not just empty text, the entire rows are missing. This means your script probably fails at some point, but you've not managed to set up proper error handling.

 

Turn your error reporting all the way up and either display the errors (during development) or log them (in production). Unless the ODBC throws exceptions automatically, you also need to do this manually. Don't just assume that every function call succeeds.

 

It also helps to run the query alone (in the console or in phpmyadmin). Does it yield the correct result set?

 

Finally, I'm irritated that each fragment of your alleged code contains syntax problems, even though you claimed it worked fine before the data type change. So did you change the code as well?
