RE: [PHP] getting a number range from user input.. (weight)

I don't understand why you have the 'Weight_kg = "6"' clause in your WHERE statement? Aren't you attempting to return one of the zone values depending on a value that falls between range and weight_kg? Let's say, for example, that the value you're searching for is .45. The following statement would correctly return the record below: SELECT * FROM rates_dhl WHERE .45 BETWEEN range AND Weight_KG In your PHP code, you'd probably use a variable when building the SQL statement. Something like: <? $srchvar = .45; $sql = "SELECT * FROM rates_dhl WHERE $srchvar BETWEEN range AND Weight_KG"; // Retrieve recordset from db as normal ?> This is assuming range and Weight_KG are both decimals in your db, rather than VARCHARS etc. It may be that I've misunderstood what you're attempting to do.
