I have found that I can NOT do this:
$null = "NULL" or even $null = NULL than put that into a statement like this:
UPDATE games SET game_id = '$null';
can't do it like this either
UPDATE games SET game_id = $null;
I have to do it like this:
UPDATE games SET game_id = NULL;
NO QUOTES of any kind. Somebody else might have a way around this. In
that case, I would like to hear it too. That would let me get around the
following:
$searchStmt = "UPDATE games SET
date = '$date',
time = '$time',";
if($loc_id == ""){$searchStmt .= "loc_id = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt .=
"loc_id = '$loc_id',";}
if($hteam_pt == ""){$searchStmt .= "hteam_pt = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt .=
"hteam_pt = '$hteam_pt',";}
if($vteam_pt == ""){$searchStmt .= "vteam_pt = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt .=
"vteam_pt = '$vteam_pt',";}
if($sea_id == ""){$searchStmt .= "sea_id = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt .=
"sea_id = '$sea_id',";}
if($hteam == ""){$searchStmt .= "hteam = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt .= "hteam
= '$hteam',";}
if($vteam == ""){$searchStmt .= "vteam = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt .= "vteam
= '$vteam',";}
if($hteam_forfeit == ""){$searchStmt .= "hteam_forfeit =
NULL,";}else{$searchStmt .= "hteam_forfeit = '1',";}
if($vteam_forfeit == ""){$searchStmt .= "vteam_forfeit =
NULL,";}else{$searchStmt .= "vteam_forfeit = '1',";}
if($official_1 == ""){$searchStmt .= "official_1 = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt
.= "official_1 = '$official_1',";}
if($official_2 == ""){$searchStmt .= "official_2 = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt
.= "official_2 = '$official_2',";}
if($official_3 == ""){$searchStmt .= "official_3 = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt
.= "official_3 = '$official_3',";}
if($official_4 == ""){$searchStmt .= "official_4 = NULL,";}else{$searchStmt
.= "official_4 = '$official_4',";}
if($official_5 == ""){$searchStmt .= "official_5 = NULL ";}else{$searchStmt
.= "official_5 = '$official_5' ";}
$searchStmt .= "where game_id = '$game_id'" ;
The previous is in a PHP script calling a MySQL DB.
