Ah, what a lovely case of the Friday morning brain farts!
I have a query that selects some data from a table based on the current ID
selected.
If the query does not return any results, I want it to continue to another
query that will insert a record into the table.
Below is what I have...but it will not insert anything if the first query
does not find a match.
<?php
$request_id = $_GET['id'];
$current_user = substr($_SERVER['AUTH_USER'], 13);
$lock_query = "SELECT id, locked_by_user FROM locked_payments WHERE id =
'$request_id'";
$lock_result = mssql_query($lock_query) or die(mssql_get_last_message());
if (empty($lock_result)) {
$set_lock = "INSERT into locked_payments (
id,
locked_by_user)
VALUES
('$request_id',
'$current_user')";
mssql_query($set_lock) or die ("Insert failed: <br
/>".mssql_get_last_message());
}
?>
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? My guess is that (empty($lock_result))
is probably not the correct way to check if an array is empty?
