Error Query Was empty


Recommended Posts

Guest D1proball
Ok so I almost have my search ready and to test it out I made it so the results only print 1 result per page. I know that I have 18 objects in my database so the number of pages should read 18, which it does. However, when I click on a link to go to the next result it says, Error: Query was empty.

Heres the url to my site to see what I'm talking about.. [a href=\"http://www.acadvocates.com/work2.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.acadvocates.com/work2.php[/a]

Here's the code.

[code]<?php

    // The first function connects to your database, the second selects a database
   include"connect.php";
   ?>
   <br>
<table width="60%" height="1%" border="1" align="center" bordercolor="#003300">
  <tr>
    <td height="27" bgcolor="B5F2B5"><form name="form1" method="post" action="">
        <div align="center">Search:
          <select name="searchtype" id="searchtype">
            <option selected>Name</option>
            <option>Species</option>
            <option>Personality</option>
          </select>
          <input name="search" type="text" id="search">
          <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="Search">

      </form></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="28" bgcolor="B5F2B5"> <form name="form2" method="post" action="">

Hi,

there's a lot of code there. Can I suggest two things first.

1. echo out the SQL statement before the query is run. See that the all the variables are being passed and that the query is being created correctly. You could us phpmyadmin to run this sql statement on the database and make sure that there is not any syntax errors with it.

2. make sure that the connect.php file is okay. also, I use:

include('connect.php');

as the code for my includes. I'm not sure if you're way works aswell. It may do but test it out.
Maybe include an echo statement in the connect file to say "opened file" or something like that.

if you press search it works for the first query so i know its connecting, but for some reason it wont list the other results when you click another page.

are you sure that you are passing the correct variables to the second page. You have to pass them again as either POST or GET varibles.
