Barand Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Looks like you were trying to write an empty string value into an column whose type is integer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheagavara Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 how do i correct that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Change the empty string value to an integer or NULL (if NULL is permitted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheagavara Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 ok,....obvious question, how do i find it? your help is greatly appreciated and i should have come here first lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Look for the problematic query. Does the MyBB Group have anything to offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginerjm Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Looking at that (blurry) message text it seems that you have a column named "pid" that you are trying to set to nothing as in "set pid='' ". As Barand has told you it looks like an integer (an id of some sort ?) and your table definition does not allow that. Either modify the structure of your table or supply a valid id value for that record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheagavara Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 myBB group have not offered any insight, i have found similar queries but not much in the way of solutions and none exactly the same, occurring during running the merge software. im am new (very new) to php and am trying to learn as i go along, im trying to rescue a community free forum that was run for years on xenforo until the person who handled it disappeared and screwed the forum. taking what you said above, and i am thankful, is it possible to guide idiot proof on how to identify it and what to change?

ginerjm Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 You are running something from your web browser, yes? What is the name and location of that script from the address bar? Use your editor to open up that script. Start reading it and look for that query mentioned in the error message box and copy the lines leading up to it and paste them into a a post here. Be sure to place them in the proper code box triggered by the <> icon above your message. This will help us to see what you are doing and perhaps point out the issue. If you cannot do any of this then perhaps you need to step away and get someone else to solve this on your end. We are not here to do your tasks, only to help you do them.
