[SOLVED] MYSQL errors

darkfreaks · July 10, 2007

i get an error like " unscaped t string on line 1 at (-10,10)"

i found the second part is a math function for the guestbook pages.

so i assume something is wrong with the way its setup in the SQL statement.

if anyone can point this out id appreciate it.

 $query = "SELECT id, name, email, url, message, DATE_FORMAT(entry_date, '%d.%m.%Y') ".
         "FROM guestbook ".
	 "ORDER BY id DESC ".            // using ORDER BY to show the most current entry first
	 "LIMIT $offset, $rowsPerPage";  // LIMIT is the core of paging

Post the entire query.

darkfreaks · July 10, 2007

fixed if anyone can tell me why it gives me this error id be greatful

darkfreaks · July 10, 2007

can anyone help here?

darkfreaks · July 11, 2007

hmmm

$query = "SELECT id, name, email, url, message, DATE_FORMAT(entry_date, '%d.%m.%Y') FROM guestbook ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $offset, $rowsPerPage";

try if that still no work then remove the limit first to see the error

trq · July 11, 2007

Also, try echoing $query to see what the database is actually receiving.

darkfreaks · July 11, 2007

i removed the limit and it echoed links as the guestbook comment? so i put it back!

darkfreaks · July 11, 2007

also i fixed some stuff and removed the dots and made it one statement.

now i get

Error, query failed. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-10, 10' at line 1

im thinking it has to do with the variables in the limit pat.

teng84 · July 11, 2007

have you tried thorpe suggestion and the way i see it the error is the limit clause heres what you have on that clause '-10, 10' check it

darkfreaks · July 11, 2007

i know its the limit clause it needs to be fixed its erroring a math function that $offset is sposed to do. and $rowsperpage=10 thats why you get -10,10

teng84 · July 11, 2007

if you know thats the prob then show your code for that one

darkfreaks · July 11, 2007

$rowsperpage= 10;
$pagenum= 1;

$offset= ($pagenum - 1) * $rowsperpage;

trq · July 11, 2007

Before you execute the query... echo it! eg;

$query = "SELECT id, name, email, url, message, DATE_FORMAT(entry_date, '%d.%m.%Y') ".
        "FROM guestbook ".
	 "ORDER BY id DESC ".            // using ORDER BY to show the most current entry first
	 "LIMIT $offset, $rowsPerPage";  // LIMIT is the core of paging
die($query);

Post the results here, don't just tell us what you think we need to know.

darkfreaks · July 11, 2007

SELECT * FROM `group` ORDER BY `NAME` ASC

ok its so selecting from a different table and im selecting from guestbook and its selecting from group? ands its DESC but going by ASC
