RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL Result Resource

LIGHT just came on!!! Why does ittake so long. MD5(andrew.madonna) - I think you're goint to have to do this $passhash = $username . $password and use MD5($passhash). MySQL is looking for a table "andrewd" with the field "madonna" in the way the MD5() is presently structured. Go to it - Miles At 03:09 AM 1/11/2002 +1100, Necro wrote:

Yep, andrewd is the username im trying to get this script to work with, its an authentication script.. The result of echo $arg is the following: select password, 1 as auth from acl where username='andrewd' and password=MD5(andrewd.madonna)1109 : Unknown table 'andrewd' in where clause Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Miles Thompson [mailto:milesthompson@ns.sympatico.ca] Sent: Friday, 11 January 2002 3:08 AM To: Necro; php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL Result Resource Can you try this puppy at the MySQL console? I'd dearly love to know where "andrewd" is coming from, it sounds like your username. Before executing mysql_query(), echo $arg and see what it prints. This is strange, but better than what we had - Miles Thompson At 02:54 AM 1/11/2002 +1100, Necro wrote: Ok, I have tried a few things now. I finally got it to echo the errors, firstly there was still a prob with MD5 values being in the apostrophes. Then next error was no db was selected. So i added a mysql_select_db statement. Now i get this: 1109 : Unknown table 'andrewd' in where clause andrewd being the username I am trying to get it to accept. Following lines are the current bit:

        $arg = "select password, 1 as auth from acl where

username='$username' and password=MD5($username.$password)";

        $result = mysql_query( $arg ) or die(mysql_errno()." : ".

mysql_error() );

        $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

I assume you are connecting to the database with mysql_connect() or mysql_pconnect(). If not, do that. Echo your query so that you know it contains valid values. Break $row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_db_query( DATABASE, $arg )); into $result = mysql_query( $arg ) or die(mysql_errno()." : ". mysql_error() ); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) then do whatever processing you need with the array $row.

Yeh, I notice now the MD5 was wrong. But I still get the same error on line 104. If I try and replace it with

the

current query function then I get two errors. e.g. Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in d:\htdocs\infekt\packages\auth.inc on line 104 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in d:\htdocs\infekt\packages\auth.inc on line 104 Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Miles Thompson [mailto:milesthompson@ns.sympatico.ca] Sent: Friday, 11 January 2002 2:05 AM To: Necro; php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL Result Resource The use of the MD5 function in the query doesn't look quite right. Shouldn't it be MD5('$password') or MD5('$username'.'$password') if concatenating? Also, mysql_db_query() has been a deprecated function for some time now, mysql_query() is recommended. Hope this gets you going - Miles Thompson At 01:33 AM 1/11/2002 +1100, Necro wrote:
