Re[2]: [PHP-DB] Begining PHP...Have Questions

Hello Aaron, why are you using , instead of . ? $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='",$_POST['username'],"'"; is this a typo?... this sould be: $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='".$_POST['username']."'"; or $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='{$_POST['username']}'"; mhhh.. do you whant to know wy echo works and $query= not? read the manual... (string functions, echo) and (Language reference, String Operators) in echo case, you are giving more than 1 argument: echo "blahblablah",$variable,"blahblahblah"; in $xx="blahblahblah",$variable,"blahblahblah" you are getting a parse error. AT> That makes great sence, however when I tried using $_POST in my SQL AT> statement it would not work. AT> This works fine: AT> $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='".$username."'"; AT> But this one doesnt at all: AT> $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE AT> email='",$_POST['username'],"'"; AT> It does however work for all the echo commands and It is also correct when AT> I echo the statement: AT> echo "SELECT * FROM users WHERE AT> email='",$_POST['username'],"'"; AT> Am I missing something? AT> Thanks again, AT> Aaron -- Best regards, Pablo
