Re: ASP to PHP language problems

This is what I get when I try to create the recordset.... Notice: Use of undefined constant DBlink - assumed 'DBlink' in D:\Development\Completed\Sealhouse\phpSealTest\ProductSpecs.php on line 24 Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in D:\Development\Completed\Sealhouse\phpSealTest\ProductSpecs.php on line 24 Ligaya Turmelle wrote:

I don't know ASP but I think this is what you want: $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE Type = \"& type & \" order by style;"; $resultID = mysql_query($sql, DBlink); // send the query and returns a pointer to the results while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultID)) // while there are results give them to me as an associative array

results could also be returned as an array, object, or row

Hi , What is the equavilant in PHP to creating a recordset in ASP using a

query?

This is what I do in PHP: .................................. dim Type Type = CStr(Request.QueryString("action")) (getting parameter from URL) Dim cnn ' ADO connection Dim rst ' ADO recordset Dim strDBPath ' path to my Access database (*.mdb) file strDBPath = Server.MapPath("/_database/database.mdb") Set cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strDBPath & ";" Set rst = cnn.Execute("SELECT * FROM table WHERE Type ='" & type & "' order by style") .......................................... I can then call any field and display it in the html by using : <%=rst.fields("whatever").value%> .......................................... I can also create a loop: <%Do While Not rstSimple.EOF%> do something <% rstSimple.MoveNext Loop %> ............................................ Please can someone show me how to do the same thing in PHP? Alistair
