DB query not working

[shan2batman]

hi,

i'm trying to fetch results for one of my projects but it isn't fetching results can anyone help pl.

here is the code:

 

if($friend_username !=$_SESSION['uname']){         
  $mark1="select os_id,parent,r_seen,rread,sread,receiver,sender from private_message where (receiver=:sess or sender=:sess) and has_replies='1' and rread='1' and sread='0'";
$stmt_m1=$conn->prepare($mark1);
$stmt_m1->bindValue(":sess", $_SESSION['uname']);
//$stmt_m->bindValue(":f_uname", $f_uname);
$stmt_m1->execute();
$column1=$stmt_m1->fetchAll();
//this db query retrieves the pm_id
                var_dump($column1);
                $pmid=$column1['os_id'];
if ($column1['r_seen']=='0'&&$column1['parent']==$_SESSION['uname']) {
   
   print_r($column1);
      echo '<a href="private_message.php?u='.$friend_username.'&r_seen=1&pmid='.$pmid.'">'
          . '<img class="friendpics" src="'.$friend_pic.'" height="20" width="20" alt="'.$friend_username.'" title="'.$friend_username.'">'.$fname.' '.$lname.'<br>('
          .$friend_username.')</a><br><hr>';
    } elseif ($column1['r_seen']=='1'&&$column1['parent']==$_SESSION['uname']) {
         echo '<span class="label label-pill label-success" style="color: white; float:left;">New</span><div style="background: #cce0cc; height:125px; width:100%;"><a style="text-align:center;" href="private_message.php?u='.$friend_username.'&r_seen=1&pmid='.$pmid.'">'
          . '<img class="friendpics" src="'.$friend_pic.'" height="20" width="20" alt="'.$friend_username.'" title="'.$friend_username.'">'.$fname.' '.$lname.'<br>('
          .$friend_username.')</a></div><br><hr>';

      
    echo 'old';
    }elseif ($column1['r_seen']=='0'&&$column1['parent']!=$_SESSION['uname']) {
         echo '<span class="label label-pill label-success" style="color: white; float:left;">New</span><div style="background: #cce0cc; height:125px; width:100%;"><a style="text-align:center;" href="private_message.php?u='.$friend_username.'&r_seen=1&pmid='.$pmid.'">'
          . '<img class="friendpics" src="'.$friend_pic.'" height="20" width="20" alt="'.$friend_username.'" title="'.$friend_username.'">'.$fname.' '.$lname.'<br>('
          .$friend_username.')</a></div><br><hr>';

     
    echo'new';    
    
    }elseif ($column1['r_seen']=='1'&&$column1['parent']!=$_SESSION['uname']) 
        { 
         echo '<a href="private_message.php?u='.$friend_username.'&r_seen=1&pmid='.$pmid.'">'
          . '<img class="friendpics" src="'.$friend_pic.'" height="20" width="20" alt="'.$friend_username.'" title="'.$friend_username.'">'.$fname.' '.$lname.'<br>('
          .$friend_username.')</a><br><hr>';
            echo'new11';
    }
 else {
      
       print_r($f_uname);
      echo '<a href="private_message.php?u='.$friend_username.'&r_seen=1&pmid='.$pmid.'">'
          . '<img class="friendpics" src="'.$friend_pic.'" height="20" width="20" alt="'.$friend_username.'" title="'.$friend_username.'">'.$fname.' '.$lname.'<br>('

    } 
 
    
    }
    
    }
 }
 echo '</div></div>';
 
      }

For starters you have several mismatched curly braces. If you used a proper IDE you would spot basic errors like this right away. I would also suggest you learn one of the standard code formatting styles and stick to it. You also have a substantial amount of duplicate code. DRY - Don't Repeat Yourself.

thats because i have copied the code from the middle of the doc

where (receiver=:sess or sender=:sess)

Try :sess1 and :sess2 and bind the session value to both.

[shan2batman]

@barand

still no luck

[requinix]

Even if that didn't fix it, you still need to do it.

fetchAll() will fetch all of the results. If you just want one row then you need to use a different method.

[shan2batman]

@requinix i tried fetch() it returns with bool (false) as response.

[requinix]

Sounds like your query didn't return anything. Does the uname have the value you think it does? Have you tried running the query manually?

[shan2batman]

the session is working well in other areas but not here @requinix

[requinix]

Not technically what I asked but okay. How about the other question?

[Barand]

Have you called session_start() at the top of the script?

try a

echo '<pre>', print_r($_SESSION, true), '</pre>' ;

to check what's there.

[shan2batman]

@requinix the query is copied from another place where it is run plus i would like to know how to run queries manually.

[shan2batman]

@Barand the session is set and working well.

[Barand]

Have you set the PDO connection option to throw exceptions? I don't see any error checking in the code.

BTW, if you don't like the idea of pecifying the parameter :sess twice, you could

SELECT ... WHERE :sess IN (sender, receiver) AND ...

You've never used MySQL from the command line? How about phpMyAdmin?

How are you writing these queries if you don't have a way to test that they work?

[shan2batman]

@requinix thank you it works now i tried the code in phpmyadmin
