[PHP-DB] Re: Subject: Strange bahavior with mysql_fetch_array($result)
If $result is returning a resource ID, this is because you have also used
$result in the mysql_connect call.
You have probably also turned off error_reporting in your script, as it
should throw an error for the 'if (! mysql_fetch_array...' line. The
correct check is 'if (mysql_num_rows()==0)' which will catch any no-results
set even if your query is broken and not returningn any resiults.
What is the contents of your query - print it out into the page.
Now, put it into phpMyAdmin as a query - does it return any results ?
Hope that helps - Neil.

Subject: Strange bahavior with mysql_fetch_array($result)
I am searching a table and have the following php code with my
comments:
$result = mysql_query($query);
print The result == $result;
// it returns The result == Resource id #2
if (!mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
...
} else {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
...
}
}
Neither the if nor the while get executed.
Can you make any suggestions? Obviously I'm new to this.

[PHP-DB] debugging / help required urgently.
Hi, I have a MAJOR problem with PHP mail() function, one that is odd and very frustrating as I have no idea what is causing it. I have used the one script to send emails out in the past and they have been sucessfully sent out, but as of a few days ago and now they are bouncing, some are actually being sent and some just simply won't go out. So let me explain. I have an admin area of my site where I have all users in a mysql database. Their email address, names, address, etc. The admin side allows me to do many tasks like send out text-based emails via PHP mail() function and HTML emails. What it does is I type in the field boxes and saves to a mysql table, than I run a cronjob to grab the email data and email addresses and send out using PHP mail(). The script worked fine in the past, no problems but now I get the following message when I attempt to send emails: --- This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unrouteable mail domain cashgrace.com --- But that's not all, it comes up as that for all domains, like yahoo.com, hotmail.com, bigpond.com etc... All of them, even though they are reachable via webmail. I can go into webmail via CPANEL and send emails and they actually go to the person, so does not seem like a mail server problem or does it? I beleive, but could be wrong, it is somewhere in the mail() function on the root part of the server. But of course I don't have access to it. But the weird thing is this... Some emails 1/10 do actually get sent and delivered, do not bounce, but the other 9 fail. Why? Well I did some more investigating... Well for what I have access to. The Server Load for the Server was flashing RED in the Server Status area. So I persume this is bad? Maybe due to this maybe it's attempting to send emails but looping and not got enough resources to actually do the job and in the end gives up and produces the bounced email? As I said before I could be way off track but worth suggesting and trying to figure it out. Is there a way to DEBUG my mail() function I call in the cronjob? The joy of the CRONJOB is that it's written in PHP also, so I can view it on a webpage. So if there is a way to DEBUG it I should see where the error is? Or won't I? Any suggestions? I've looked long and hard, emailed my admin and they are optimistic with the problem also so thought I'd post here and see what can be done and if we can get some outside help. As I said before the script for the mail() has NEVER been changed. So it can't be my code as it has worked in the past. Must be server side somewhere... Unless my admin has done an update and something has gone wrong. But I thought someone on here would know what could cause the error, at least we can investigate it instead of having no idea what is causing the problem. All the help is needed here if people can provide it. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long email. But this problem is really giving me the 'you know what' now.

[PHP-DB] Re: debugging / help required urgently.
Not exactly your answer, but I remember having same problems one time. I switched and started using phpmailer, http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ This has in the past never given me problems, 1 time I had problems on the server using the php functions, but phpmailer even has SMTP support. Just alter 1 line and everything is online again. mail() function may be more than good enough, but you might want to check out the phpmailer which is quite awesome! -- Kim Steinhaug --- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. --- Jerry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I have a MAJOR problem with PHP mail() function, one that is odd and very frustrating as I have no idea what is causing it.

RE: [PHP-DB] Unsure of how to perform query and results..
Hi John, Thanks for taking the time to respond. What am I trying to do? Well...I am trying to build a mailing list of previous customers WHO purchased product_id 1 but not product_id 14. I have the product items (id's) stored in the CartTable and I have customer info stored in the OrderTable. Using the same column of cart_id in both CartTable and OrderTable I am able to reference which cart items (id's) belong to each record in the OrderTable. What I did originally (that didn't work) was to select all records in the CartTable that matched product_id=1 and product_id!=14 then I used that information to reference against the OrderTable to grab the customer information I needed. The problem with my logic is that I did not take into account those who purchased one of the product_id's on ONE purchase and then came back the next day, week, year, etc and made another purchase for the other product_id which. I NEED to make sure that a customer HAS purchased product_id=1 and NOT product_id=14 at ANY time, regardless of a single or multiple orders. Does this make any sense? *sigh* Thanks again.

Re: [PHP-DB] nested sets?
hi!
thx for the answer! in fact i'm just searching for a query to desend a
defined path in the structure, but left others alone. e.g.
path: about/company
structure:
about
company
history
today
employees
intern
extern
products
...
should end in
about
company
history
today
employees
products
i think of buying the book. its better to have a good reference.
