Re: [PHP-DB] Modify Query, or sift through results?

Any suggestions??? I have one idea. The column is probably a signed tinyint. tinyints have a range of -128 to 127. When you try to put in anything over 127, the value is out of range, and so apparently tries to reinsert it as 127. You could change the column to an unsigned tinyint, which would give you a range of 0 to 255. Or an unsigned smallint, which gives you a range of 0 to 65,535. Just make sure the column is unsigned, since I doubt you will be storing negative numbers in the column.

In other words, if I don't know the possible values of the enum or set

Here is a function I use to dynamically build an option list. You send
it the table and column. Database and columnType are optional. The
function returns the values of the column as an array.
?php
function getEnumValues($table, $column, $database=default,
$columnType=enum) {
$mylink = connect();
$sql = describe $table;
$thisResult = mysql_db_query($database, $sql, $mylink);
while($table = mysql_fetch_array($thisResult)) {
if($table[Field] == $column $columnType == enum) {
return explode(,, preg_replace(/^enum\(|'|\)/i, ,
$table[Type]));
}
elseif($table[Field] == $column $columnType == set) {
return explode(,, preg_replace(/^set\(|'|\)/i, ,
$table[Type]));
}
}
}

This will print out both names. Hopefully you can figure out how to

to do so, and believe my SQL statement is correct:
$NewCol = $Prod_Code;

$conID = mysql_pconnect ("localhost","admin","mek1233");
mysql_select_db("FocusDynamics", $conID);

// now set the default value for all rows in vips table
$SetDefault = "UPDATE TABLE vips SET $NewCol=$defaultvalue";
$result = mysql_query ($SetDefault,$conID);
It is NOT adding the column, and obviously not setting the default.
If you haven't gotten a fix for this yet, then try adding:
echo "$AddColQuerybr\n".mysql_error($conID)."br\n";
after your mysql_query() call. This allows you to see the exact sql you
are executing, and you will get to see the error mysql is returning.
This has helped me find something strange with what I was doing when I
could have sworn there was nothing wrong with my code.

Your problem is probably on a line above this one. Because this line

without any problems so far.
?php

This allows you to see the sql that is actually being executed, and you
also get to see the actual mysql error.
