[quote author=tomfmason link=topic=104462.msg416707#msg416707 date=1155720838] well it is not silly. You just don't know. You need something like this [code] <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {   //preform your code here } ?> <!--html here--> [/code] [/quote] i actually do know, i DID have that the first time, that didnt work, so i switched to something more simpler... but i but it back now, you can check it here: http://lynkonline.atlas2wielers.nl/lynk_fm/lynk_fm2.php

anyway, im really stuck this time... i just know its probably something soo silly...

[quote author=Lynk link=topic=104462.msg416700#msg416700 date=1155720253] now it shows everything with tiesto in it... regardeless of the form... [/quote]no wait, it shows everything

no man, still nothing...the page just loads quickly, and the url shows this http://lynkonline.atlas2wielers.nl/lynk_fm/lynk_fm2.php?q=Tiesto&sort=DESC&submit=Go+%3E

[font=tahoma]i wrote this little thingie, when i move the [b]echo[/b] part, out of the [b]if (){ }[/b] part way below, it works, but i just cant seem to get it working with the [b]if[/b]....[/font] anyone? [code]<? function select5(){ $select5 = "SELECT * FROM lynk_fm WHERE artist LIKE '%$q%' ORDER BY id $sort"; $obj5 = mysql_query($select5) or die($MySQLError.mysql_error()); return $obj5; } ?> <form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" name="form_search"> <table width="100%" style="border:1px dashed darkgray;"> <tr>  <td width="222" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">Music search</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"><input name="q" type="text" class="INPUT" onFocus="if(this.value=='Tiesto')this.value='';" value="Tiesto"> <select name="sort" class="I_send">   <option value="DESC">Newest first</option>   <option value="ASC">Oldest first</option> </select> <input type="submit" class="I_send" value="Go >"> Search for music on Lynk Fm <br /> </td></tr></table> </form> <? if($_POST['q'] != "") {?> <? $res5 = select5(); while($row5 = mysql_fetch_object($res5)) { echo "$row5->song<br>"; } ?> <? } ?>[/code]

yeey, i got it working, you can remove this topic so :P  ;D ;D ;D ;D

nah, nothing, not i get this error when i update... 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 'WHERE artist='Busta Rhymes' AND title='Touch It (Remix part III)' SET score='10'' at line 1

ill check it out thanks fot the tips. can you find anything obviously wrong with the code? i know its probably something very silly, but i just cant find out what it is...  ::)

[quote author=DocSeuss link=topic=102373.msg406207#msg406207 date=1154298714] The correct syntax for checking if values are equal in an if statment is   ==   if($value1 == $value2) But that is going to make your update code run every time. Also I'm not sure how your $song[0] is connected to the current song if there is a problem here then you will never actually find a match in the database to update. [/quote] thanks for your reply :D the $song[0] request the current song on winamp, i have a code that wil print the current song, you can see it working here: http://lynkonline.atlas2wielers.nl/sc_song/now.php

ok, here the deal, i want users to rate the current song playing, so, if the song isnt in the database it wil be created, however, i want it to update that same song if it is voted again...but i cant get it to update  :'( ...some help would be REALLY appreciated...thanks :D http://lynkonline.atlas2wielers.nl/index.temp.php <? /* $song[0] is connected to my winamp. it shows the current song playing! */ ?> <? if(isset($_POST['form'])){?> <?php function lynkfm_rate(){$select_data = "SELECT * FROM lynk_fm WHERE song='$song[0]' LIMIT 1"; $object = mysql_query($select_data) or die($MySQLError.mysql_error()); return $object; } $res99 = lynkfm_rate(); $show = mysql_fetch_object($res99); $new_score = $show->score + $score2 ; $new_vote = $show->votes + 1 ; ?> <? if( $show->song = "$song[0]") {mysql_query("UPDATE lynk_fm SET score='$new_score', votes='$new_vote' "); echo"new score: $show->score"; } elseif ($show->song != "$song[0]") {mysql_query("INSERT INTO lynk_fm (id,date,artist,title,song,score,votes) VALUES ('', '$date_now', '".htmlspecialchars($artist)."', '".htmlspecialchars($title)."', '".htmlspecialchars($song[0])."', '$score2', '$votes') ") or die(mysql_error()); echo"$show->title"; } else{echo "UPDATE DIDNT WORK! !!";}?> <? } ?> <form method="post"  name="lynk_fm" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>"> <input type="hidden" name="form" value="1"> <select name="score2">   <option disabled>Rate</option>   <option value="10">10</option>   <option value="9">9</option>   <option value="8">8</option>   <option value="7">7</option>   <option value="6">6</option>   <option value="5">5</option>   <option value="4">4</option>   <option value="3">3</option>   <option value="2">2</option>   <option value="1">1</option> </select> <input name="Submit" type="submit" class="I_send" value="Go >" /> Rate this song!</form>
