RE: [PHP] inputted value not being correctly ready by php

I am displaying the results here... this is just a very rough implemtation of what I want it to do ... my main issue was with $aSQL1 = "INSERT INTO table2 ( user_name, nameid) VALUES ( '$user', LAST_INSERT_ID() )"; and the actual submitted value of $user that was being inputted into the DB. the fetch statement is comming just didn't need it in there for this example. what I found interesting when i changed the name of $user to $uname in the form and the db and script it worked as expected...

Your WHERE statement is just evaluating to 'string' AND 'string' AND 'string', which will be true for every row in every table. It's no wonder you're getting an odd result. Also, are you trying to display the values from the database here? There is no fetch_* function to get anything out of the result set. Where is $id coming from?? I can't explain result you're getting for $user, but with these errors, I'm sure there are more, and there's no telling what's going on... ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
