Re: MySQL query not working!

Andre, The @ operator is used for error catching statements. When you put: @mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password') or die('Could not connect.'); If PHP fails to make a connection, the script execution is stopped, and the error message between the apostrophes is given. And, I found out what the problem was; I should have put: if (mysql_num_rows($result)) rather than just if ($result) Thanks! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Polykanine" <andre@oire.org> To: "Parham Doustdar" <parham90@gmail.com> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2010 4:41 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] MySQL query not working!

Hello Parham, Adding to Ash's question, why to use the @ operator before mysql_query? -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile; Wlm&MSN: arthaelon @ yandex.ru; Jabber: arthaelon @ jabber.org Yahoo! messenger: andre.polykanine; ICQ: 191749952 Twitter: m_elensule ----- Original message ----- From: Parham Doustdar <parham90@gmail.com> To: php-general@lists.php.net <php-general@lists.php.net> Date: Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 2:50:07 PM Subject: [PHP] MySQL query not working! Hi there, Here is a snippet of code... that doesn't work for some reason. Please note that I have put some @mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); statements, to see if MySQL gives an error. I receive nothing other than the file starting to download. This is supposed to be a file download counter: [code] <?php //connect to the DB mysql_connect() //There is no problem with the connection so I didn't include the complete code. //The table where the hits are stored. $table = "files"; $query = "select * from " . $table . " where filename = '" . $_GET['file'] . "'"; $result = mysql_query($query); if ($result) //Has the file previously been added? { $query = "update " . $table . " set hits = hits + 1 where filename = '" . $_GET['file'] . "'"; @mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); header('location:http://www.qwitter-client.net/' . $_GET['file']); } else //it's the first time we're adding this file to the DB. { $query = "insert into " . $table . " (filename, hits) values ('" . $_GET['file'] . "', 1)"; @mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); header('location:http://www.qwitter-client.net/' . $_GET['file']); } ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
