I assume you want to do this instead..try it:
<?php
$itemx = "15109";
$sql = "SELECT quantity FROM inventory WHERE item = '$itemx'";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$link);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result); // you have to fetch the result into an
array to access the info in the db
$num = $row["quantity"];
// NOW we can compare $num ;)
if ($num < 1) {
echo "<b><font color=\"#FF0000\">Out of Stock $result</font></b>";
} else {
echo "<b><font color=\"#0000FF\">In Stock $result</font></b>";
}
?>

Subject: [PHP-DB] Wrong solution!!!!
Hello,
I really do appreciate your help.
But, I found out that the solution scrip that you gave me was wrong script
for my purpose.
I guess I didn't describe my problem right.
I didn't mean to get the total number of rows to compare.
Let's say I have a table name inventory and contains two columes.
Here is example,
item inventory
15109 0
15110 12
14590 7
This is a script that I tried and didn't work.
$itemx = "15109";
$num = mysql_query("SELECT quantity FROM inventory WHERE item =
'$itemx'",$link);
if ($num < 1) {
echo "<b><font color=\"#FF0000\">Out of Stock $result</font></b>";
} else {
echo "<b><font color=\"#0000FF\">In Stock $result</font></b>";
}
I want my inventory quantity with known item number to compare with
($num<1), but didn't work.
Can you tell me how about solving this problem?
Thanks for your time again.
Tony
