RE: [PHP] mysql update query
Hi Enda, Does your table have an index per record ? If so, your WHERE clause could just use the index and thus be far simpler, if A_Number is an indexed field, then UPDATE cdr200311 SET Price=0.225 WHERE A_Number = 61210146 Alternatively, try removing the () around the WHERE Darka www.xfcpro.com -Original Message- From: Enda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 December 2003 16:33 To: Php-General Subject: [PHP] mysql update query Hi guys Bit of a problem I'm having here with an update query on a PHP/MySQL site: This is the db query I execute: $result6=mysql_query(UPDATE $WorkTable SET Price=$CallCost WHERE (A_Number = $A_Number AND StartDateTime = $D_Full AND Duration=$Duration AND SMSDestinationName = '$SMSDestinationName')); which returns the following SQL query: UPDATE cdr200311 SET Price=0.225 WHERE (A_Number = 61210146 AND StartDateTime = 2003110216502400 AND Duration=15.0167 AND SMSDestinationName = '1010') The query executes successfully, but nothing happens to the database... all connections etc are in place.

Have you tried placing quotes around the values? The timestamps should be ok, but the price with the decimal place will almost certainly need them. -- Best regards, Richardmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] mysql update query
Yes I would prefer to do this... problem is that the final table will be populated from a monthly csv file supplied from an external source. this file could have several hundred occurences of each value of A_Number and other fields so the only way to have it as unique is to use several of the fields in the recordset as the 'key'... I tried both suggestions - thanks, but still no luck. Any more ideas? I don't really want to have to go and rewrite the update to include a unique id for each record! Thanks guys for your help.

RE: [PHP] mysql update query
just had a thought, what happens when you have only 2 records in the database, does it work, is it possible that you may have had 2 identical records in the first instance, hence it not working ? ignore my idiotic comment, it's friday, it's late and I have 2 weeks off (only 10 minutes to go), so I wasn't really thinking when I typed it. Honestly, a unique index may be the best bet... -Original Message- From: Enda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 December 2003 17:13 To: Php-General Subject: Re: [PHP] mysql update query I used single.. just deleted all records except 1 from the table and changed the query to have just one WHERE condition $result6=mysql_query(UPDATE $WorkTable SET Price=$CallCost WHERE A_Number = $A_Number); this worked... so looks like i'm going to have to rewrite the import bit! unless of course someone can come in with a last minute flash of inspiration! i really really don't need this at 5:12 on a friday afternoon! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] mysql update query
What error are you getting, exactly? MySQL is not case-sensitive with regards to commands, but it is case-sensitive for table names, column names, etc. Make sure that the table names are exactly exact ;-) including cases, etc. You might double-check the values in the variables: do they contain special characters (like ' or ) that need to be escaped out with addslashes()? Check the datatypes for the columns as well. If the datatype is a number, the single quote is not needed (and will, in fact, cause an error). I've had trouble in the past using variables with single quotes in the string and variable interpolation. In this sort of case I usually use: $query = stuff='.$stuff.'; instead of $query = stuff = '$stuff'; It's clunkier, but it might work. Give it a try as well. Ultimately, though, I suspect that it's your data that's causing the problems.
