    Nested MySQL database call does not return any data

    Hi,

    I am having a little problem with my PHP - MySQl code, I have two tables
    (shown below) and I am trying populate a template page with data from both.
    <disclaimer>N ow I would like to say my skills, especially with MySQL are
    rudimentary</disclaimer> However my code (link below) fails, the nested
    database call does not return any data and this has me stumped. Any help
    will be much appreciated.

    Many thanks in advance

    Simon

    You should raise this post in the MySQL newgroup (I use
    mailing.databas e.mysql) - however I've been picking up mysql these past six
    months and might be able to help...

    First off... you are inserting in to the database (writing data) so of
    course, no data will be dumped (read). You need to perform a SELECT query
    to dump/read data from the database...

    Have you bought a book to teach you MySQL? How did you come up with the idea
    that an INSERT would read your database? You'll have a very long road ahead
    of you if you don't start off on the right foot and the last thing you want
    to do is give up due to frustration that was easily solved....

      I'm clueless but not that clueless the PHP code I referred to is viewable at
      the link just above the relevant table dumps that I included only so people
      could see the data structures I am working with.

      The fix was a simple typo

      $resort_list==@ mysql_query($sq l);

      Should have been:

      $resort_list=@m ysql_query($sql );

      I however was fixated on the problem as being the nesting of two queries and
      couldn't see the wood for the trees.
