[PHP-DB] Is this query even possible?

2003-06-10 Thread Susan Ator
 This is what I am trying to do:
 
   if ($FUNC==(USERPOST) || $FUNC==(MODU)) {
   $sql = UPDATE newdacs
   SET emailfwd='$emailfwd',
   mformat='$mformat',
   filter_code='$filter_code'
   if ($FUNC=='USERPOST') {
   ,unote='$unote'
   }
   WHERE user_id='$user_id';
   $set_newdacs_result = mysql_query($sql) or print
 mysql_error();
   }
 
 There are several more queries like this which is why I want to avoid
 duplicating the code since there are only 1 or 2 differences between them
 depending on function call.
 
 This is the error I am getting:
 
   You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'if (USERPOST=='USERPOST')
 { ,unote='' } WHERE user_id='2'' at line 5
 
 Is what I am attempting possible or am I spinning my wheels?

See, this is why I cringe when I hear the management say 'No open source.
There's no support'.

You guys are great. It works a treat. (I ended up going with the conditional
operator)

Thanks!

Keep in mind the code I sent is untested ...  and I realized some errors
when I pasted it into a PHP page.  Corrections are below.

As for the line breaks, I've used SQL formatted that way before and it
hasn't cause me any problems.

Regards,
Matt.

Corrections: $sql .= mformat='$mformat', should have a trailing ;
 $result = mysql_query($sql) or die('mysql error
#'.mysql_errno.': 'mysql_error()); should have a . before mysql_error());

Yup, Matthew's right. I definitely forgot the other $sql. = that needs to go
in front of the WHERE clause.

Question for Matthew though:

Is this:
   $sql .= UPDATE newdacs;
   $sql .= SET emailfwd='$emailfwd',;
   $sql .= mformat='$mformat',
   $sql .= filter_code='$filter_code';

Pretty much the same as this:
  $sql = UPDATE newdacs
  SET emailfwd='$emailfwd',
  mformat='$mformat',
  filter_code='$filter_code';

I mean, the line breaks in the second example won't cause the query to bomb,
will they? I agree that using the $sql .= is cleaner, but the other way
isn't wrong, is it?

 I would say something like the following would work better:
 
 if($FUNC==USERPOST || $FUNC==MODU)
 {
   $sql .= UPDATE newdacs;
   $sql .= SET emailfwd='$emailfwd',;
   $sql .= mformat='$mformat',
   $sql .= filter_code='$filter_code';
   if($FUNC=='USERPOST')
   $sql .= , unote='$unote';
   $sql .= WHERE user_id='$user_id';
 
   $result = mysql_query($sql) or die('mysql error 
 #'.mysql_errno.':
 'mysql_error());
 }
 
 Try that ... also look into www.php.net under string 
 manipulation for other
 options.

[PHP-DB] mySQL field structure question

2003-10-01 Thread Susan Ator
If I have a field in mySQL consisting of a number with 8 digits a decimal
point and 4 more digits what is the field type it needs to be to sort it
numerically?

I've tried decimal(8,4) but it converts everything to .. I've
also tried float but it doesn't sort numerically. All of the other integer
types cut off the decimal bit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Susan
