Help with a MySQL PHP script that should identify a title

[oskare100]

Hello,

I've this PHP script that should be able to identify;

$mysql = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password)or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name, $mysql)or die(mysql_error());

$item_name= mysql_real_escape_string($item_name);
$query="SELECT
                *
        FROM
                `items`
        WHERE
                `price` = $mc_gross
                AND ('$item_name' LIKE `identify_pos` AND '$item_name' LIKE `identify_pos2`)
                AND ('$item_name' NOT LIKE `identify_neg` AND '$item_name' NOT LIKE `identify_neg2`)
        ";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if ( false===($ident_row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) ) {
        // No row found
        die;
}
else {
  echo 'item_id: ', $ident_row['item_id'], "<br />\n";
}

 

Here is the current database structure:

-- 
-- Table structure for table `items`
-- 

CREATE TABLE `items` (
  `item_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `item_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `price` varchar(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `identify_pos` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `identify_pos2` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `identify_neg` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `identify_neg2` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `file_id` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `pack_id` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `list_id` int(5) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`item_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

-- 
-- Dumping data for table `items`
-- 

INSERT INTO `items` (`item_id`, `item_name`, `price`, `identify_pos`, `identify_pos2`, `identify_neg`, `identify_neg2`, `file_id`, `pack_id`, `list_id`) VALUES 
(1, 'Package 1', '2.95', '%15GB%', '%templates%', '', '', 0, 1, 0),
(2, 'Package 2', '2.95', '', '', '%15gb%', '%templates%', 0, 2, 0);

 

In other words, package 1 has the words %15GB% and %templates% as positive identify words (that the title should contain to be package 1) and  Package 2 has the words as negative indentify words (words that the title shouldn't contain to be package 2.

 

I hoped that the above structure would result in that all titles that contain 15GB and Templates are identified as Package 1 (and that works good) and that all other item titles that doesn't include the words 15GB and templates would automaticly be identified as Package 2 but that's the problem. If a title doesn't cotain 15gb or templates the script dies without any result.

 

I really need help with this so any info is appreciated.

 

Best Regards

Well, first, why the column name as the rvalue? and second, I don't see any percent signs.
