"'";$conn=mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD) or die ('Did Not Connect'); mysql_select_db(DB_NAME) or die ('Cannot Set Database');$RESULTS=mysql_query($PARTQUERY) or die ('Invalid PartSelect Operation');print mysql_num_rows($RESULTS); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 How are your fields defined in the database?In your "or die" clauses, you should (at least during the debug stage), output the query that caused the error and the text sent my mysql_error().[code]<?php$PARTNUM=20.01000;$PARTTABLE='MSDS_1';$PARTQUERY="SELECT * FROM $PARTTABLE WHERE PARTNUM = '" . $PARTNUM . "'";$conn=mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD) or die ('Did Not Connect, error:' . mysql_error());mysql_select_db(DB_NAME) or die ('Cannot Set Database, error:' . mysql_error());$RESULTS=mysql_query($PARTQUERY) or die ('Invalid PartSelect Operation, query:' . $PARTQUERY . '<br />' . mysql_error());echo mysql_num_rows($RESULTS);?>[/code]BTW, you can write your query as:[code]<?php$PARTQUERY="SELECT * FROM $PARTTABLE WHERE PARTNUM = '$PARTNUM'";?>[/code]Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
