DarkPrince2005 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am trying to grab a field from a mysql database and calculate the difference of that date and the current date and then inserting it into a database field. Here is the code: text-decoration:none; } a:visited{font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:10pt; color:'#ffffff'; font-weight:700; text-decoration:None; } a:hover{font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:10pt; text-decoration:none; color:'#B37A04'; font-weight:700; } a:active{font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:10pt; color:'#ffffff'; font-weight:700; } </style></head><body bgcolor='#FDCC67' topmargin='0' bottommargin='0' leftmargin='0' rightmargin='0'> <center><table width="100%" height="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr><td valign='top' width='140' bgcolor='#000000'><br> <a href='home.html'>Home</a><br><br> <a href='view.php'>View Records</a><br><br> <a href='add.html'>Add Record</a><br><br> <a href='edit1.php'>Edit Record</a><br><br> <a href='delete1.php'>Delete Record</a><br><br> <a href='report.php'>View Report</a><br><br> <a href='q.php'>Query Report</a><br><br> <a href="search1.php">Search</a></td><td valign="top" align="center"><table><tr> <td align="right" valign="top"><form action="search2.php" method="post"><b>Search by Persal Number:</b> <input type="text" name="search"> <input type="submit" value="Search"></form></td></tr> <tr><td align="center" valign="top"><h1>View Disciplinary Records</h1></td></tr> <tr><td align="center" valign="top"></td></tr> <tr><td align="center" valign="top"><br><?= $html ?></td></tr></table></td></tr></table> </body> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67619-solved-query/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkPrince2005 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 It only seems to insert the value "Resource id #4" into the designated field. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67619-solved-query/#findComment-339688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Because mysql_query() returns a result resource. So, $date1 is a result resource. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67619-solved-query/#findComment-339690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPrince2005 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 So what do i do to change it? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67619-solved-query/#findComment-339698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken2k7 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I don't consider myself a php expert, but I don't think you can query this: $date1 = mysql_query("SELECT Date_Recieved, CURDATE(), (YEAR(CURDATE())-YEAR(Date_Recieved)) - (RIGHT(CURDATE(),5)<RIGHT(Date_Recieved,5)) from dis"); You can't do math in a query. And you can call $row['something'] in a string like that. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67619-solved-query/#findComment-339701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPrince2005 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am sure you can do calculations in a query, or is this different when using php? and if so, how am I gonna get it to work?

Ken2k7 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 You can't do math inside a query. All a query does is tell what information column and results you want from the database. You can then get the values and do math. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67619-solved-query/#findComment-339711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Of course you can do calculations within queries. If all you want to do is UPDATE the Date_Added to the value of a SELECT statement you should be able to do something like.... UPDATE dis SET Date_Added='(SELECT YEAR(CURDATE())-YEAR(Date_Recieved)) - (RIGHT(CURDATE(),5)<RIGHT(Date_Recieved,5))'; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67619-solved-query/#findComment-339712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
