Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2005 19:00:59 -0500 Jason, After looking at this a little more, the variable aren't being changed into their value. The echo looks like this: select a.name,a.position,a.team,sum(b.yards) as Results from player a,passing b where a.player_num = b.player_num and a.position = $pos and b.year >= $year and a.team_div = $div group by a.name order by Results desc limit '$display' As you can see the variables aren't being changed, any ideas?

In your PHP page, can you echo the actual query variable to the browser and send that to the mail group? I don't necessary see anything 'wrong' with your query but see the three variables, as they are interpreted by PHP, may help.

I am having a problem getting a sql statement to run. I have this in a table called stat_categories, in a field called sql2 select a.name,a.position,a.team,sum(b.yards) as Results from player a,passing b where a.player_num = b.player_num and a.position = '$pos' and b.year >= '$year' group by a.name order by Results desc limit '$display' when I try to display this I get this error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''$display'' at line 8 I tried removing the ''s but this didn't help. If I put in the sql instead of the variable, it works fine. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -Rich -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
