Re: PHP & MySQL Problem

I thought so, too. But the part where it receives the data is this: $s_marke = $_POST['marke']; $s_modell = $_POST['modell']; $s_preis_von = $_POST['preis_von']; $s_preis_bis = $_POST['preis_bis']; $s_mileage_von = $_POST['mileage_from']; $s_mileage_bis = $_POST['mileage_to']; $s_ez_von = $_POST['ez_from']; $s_ez_bis = $_POST['ez_bis']; $s_search_text = $_POST['search_text']; $s_cat = $_POST['cat']; $kw_von = $_POST['kw_von']; $kw_bis = $_POST['kw_bis']; (part of it) And this is the relevant part of the <form> <select name="kw_von"> <option selected="selected" value="0">***</option> <option value="44">44/60</option> <option value="55">55/75</option> <option value="66">66/90</option> <option value="81">81/110</option> <option value="92">92/125</option> <option value="110">110/150</option> <option value="147">147/200</option> <option value="184">184/250</option> <option value="220">220/300</option> <option value="257">257/350</option> </select> The funny thing is that all vars are being received except for the last two: $kw_von = $_POST['kw_von']; $kw_bis = $_POST['kw_bis']; I am soooo stuck here, it ain't even funny anymore *g* And my boss is, of course, waiting for a result. Howcome people don't get that programming sometimes really IS leaning back and closing your eyes *grrrrr* :oP Thanks for trying to help me :o) Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zoltán Németh" <znemeth@alterationx.hu> To: "Christian Haensel" <php@chftp.com> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 9:58 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP & MySQL Problem

Right, here we go... this page has about 1000 lines of code, so here the relevant stuff. $s_query = "SELECT * FROM database WHERE kategorie LIKE '$s_cat' AND marke LIKE '$s_marke' AND leistung_kw >= '$kw_von' AND leistung_kw <= '$kw_bis' AND preis >= '$s_preis_von' AND preis <= '$s_preis_bis'".$checkboxes.$sort_str; I get the $checkboxes from the POST checkboxes, which looks like this (an example): $kraftstoffart = $_POST['fueltype']; if($kraftstoffart == "3") { $checkboxes .= ""; }elseif($kraftstoffart == "2") { $checkboxes .= " AND kraftstoffart = '2'"; }elseif($kraftstoffart == "1") { $checkboxes .= " AND kraftstoffart = '1'"; } and the $sort_str comes in like $sort_by = $_POST['sort_by']; $desc_asc = $_POST['desc_asc']; $sort_str = " ORDER BY ".$sort_by." ".$desc_asc; The query then just goes like $do_q = mysql_query($s_query) or die(mysql_error()); and that's it... no errors shown, just the regular output which I had before I put the new fields in there. So no changes to what I've had before... but there should be changes *g*

actually there seems to be no problem with your query (besides that you should check posted values first in order to avoid SQL injection) you said in your first letter that "$_POST['var'] don't reach the script" - I would guess the relevant part is not the query but rather the form itself... greets Zoltán Németh

I hope anybody can find some sense in what I'm writing here... hardly makes sense to me :oP Cheers! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zoltán Németh" <znemeth@alterationx.hu> To: "Christian Haensel" <php@chftp.com> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 9:36 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP & MySQL Problem

Good morning friends, I have a script that collects data from a form and puts together a mysql query to search a database. Now, everything worked fine until I added a few new form fields... now the $_POST['var'] don't reach the script... I have about 20 to 25 form fields which are all taken into the query... Now my question: is there a limit in the fields that I can use in the query string to query the database? Somehow the script doesn't even output the value of the POST data anymore... been using this stuff for years now, and i'm feeling really silly at the moment.

AFAIK there is no limit in the number of fields in a query... post some code please, otherwise I don't think anyone will be able to help you greets Zoltán Németh

I'd appreciate any help. Cheers! Chris
