Re: function not returning TRUE

Hi Nick, did you double-check your query ($qry)? Run it from the mysql client or from phpMyAdmin to make sure its returning some rows of data. Cheers, Bart Nick Wilson wrote:

        if(!$this->_db_connect()) {
            return FALSE;
        }
                    if(!($result=mysql_query($qry))) {
            return FALSE;                } else {
                        /* Set properties */
            $this->set_content_table($content_table);
            $this->set_tip_section($section);
            $this->set_auth_id($auth_id);
            $this->set_tip_id(mysql_insert_id());
            $this->set_tip_title($title);
            $this->set_tip_description($desc);
            $this->set_tip_keywords($keywords);
            $this->set_tip_text($text);
            return TRUE;
        }                    return TRUE;
    }

the way I'm testing the condition is like:

    $test=myfunction();

    if($test) {
        do x
    } else do y
