Okay, gotcha!
I changed it to this and it works:
<?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());
$lock_row = mssql_fetch_array($lock_result);
$lock_id = $lock_row['id'];
$lock_user = $lock_row['locked_by_user'];
if (empty($lock_row)) {
$set_lock = "INSERT into locked_payments (
id,
locked_by_user)
VALUES
('$request_id',
'$current_user')";
mssql_query($set_lock) or die ("Query failed: <br
/>".mssql_get_last_message());
}
?>
Thanks! :)
