This is what I get when I try to create the recordset....

Notice: Use of undefined constant DBlink - assumed 'DBlink' in D:\Development\Completed\Sealhouse\phpSealTest\ProductSpecs.php on line 24

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in D:\Development\Completed\Sealhouse\phpSealTest\ProductSpecs.php on line 24

I don't know ASP but I think this is what you want:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE Type = \"& type & \" order by style;";

$resultID = mysql_query($sql, DBlink);  // send the query and returns a
pointer to the results
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultID))   // while there are results
give them to me as an associative array
                                                                       //
results could also be returned as an array, object, or row
                                                                       //
see mysql_fetch_array, mysql_fetch_object, and mysql_fetch_row respectively
{
   Here is a loop
}

Hi ,

What is the equavilant in PHP to creating a recordset in ASP using a

query?


This is what I do in PHP:
..................................

dim Type
Type = CStr(Request.QueryString("action")) (getting parameter from URL)

Dim cnn  ' ADO connection
Dim rst  ' ADO recordset
Dim strDBPath  ' path to my Access database (*.mdb) file

strDBPath = Server.MapPath("/_database/database.mdb")
Set cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strDBPath & ";"

Set rst = cnn.Execute("SELECT * FROM table WHERE Type ='" & type & "'
order by style")
..........................................
I can then call any field and display it in the html by using :
<%=rst.fields("whatever").value%>
..........................................
I can also create a loop:
<%Do While Not rstSimple.EOF%>
do something
<%
rstSimple.MoveNext
Loop
%>
............................................

Please can someone show me how to do the same thing in PHP?

Alistair
