Hello Michael,
Sorry, I was trying to make the statement more readable by putting the
WHERE and AND at the end of the line rather than at the beginning and
unconsciously mixed in to the email COBOL, where its' SELECT statement does
use WHEN, my apologies. Here is the actual statement used which didn't work
and it still does not, for me at least.
$sql = "SELECT access_code
FROM authorised_users
WHERE user_id = '$userid'
AND user_password = '$password'
AND account = '$account'";
This is what I was expecting (from MySQL Monitor) and got
mysql> use test_db;
Database changed
mysql> select access_code from authorised_users where user_id = 'Nancy' and
use_password = 'qwerty' and account = '48572998';
+-------------+
| access_code |
+-------------+
| 11966552 |
+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
This is what I got from (PHP MySQL)
sql = SELECT access_code FROM authorised_users WHERE user_id = 'Nancy' AND
user_password = 'qwerty' AND account = '48572998';
Welcome - your log-in succeeded!
accesscode = access_code
$accesscode = access_code
I was expecting '11966552'

Quoting PaulCheung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have researched, checked and tried everything I can think of and
still cannot get it to work.
SELECT access_code FROM authorised_users WHEN
I am not familiar with WHEN but that could be my own ignorance
$rs = @mysql_select_db( "test_db", $conn )
or die( "Could not select database" );
$rs = @mysql_select_db( "test_db", $conn ) or die( "Could not select
database" );
This line is doubled but that is not your problem.
$sql = "SELECT access_code
FROM authorised_users
user_id = '$userid' AND
This is the reason that you are getting different results: you left out
the WHEN that you had above (unless this is not an accurate
representation of your code); whether WHEN is a legitimate keyword is a
different issue.
