Seems my post was buried in more cries for help :-) I will try again.
It's probably a very novice question so please take a look! Thanks!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I created a sign-up sheet (reg.html) where people fill in their first
name, last name, email, etc. The data are then sent to a PHP script
(reg.php). The data are then inserted into a table (reg) in MS SQL
server. I have declared the variables like this:
The columns and variables are exactly matched so it shouldn't be the
problem. The error message to the below script is:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
call someoneDB Error:
Warning: mssql_num_rows( ): supplied argument is not a valid Sybase
result
resource ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
Even when I deleted the mssql_num_rows( ) stuff, it still doesn't work.
The error message then said: "DB error".
The (almost) full script is here:
<?php
// some MS SQL server connection thing that I can't show here :-) //
if (!(isset($_POST['FirstName']))) {
$FirstName = "" ;
} else {
$FirstName = $_POST['FirstName'] ;
}
if (!(isset($_POST['LastName']))) {
$LastName = "" ;
} else {
$LastName = $_POST['LastName'] ;
}
if (!(isset($_POST['Email']))) {
$Email = "" ;
} else {
$Email = $_POST['Email'] ;
}
if(empty($First Name) OR empty($LastName ) OR empty($Email))
{
echo "Oops, you must complete the form to register. Please use the
browser
back button to go back and complete the form.";
echo "</body></html>";
exit;
}
$qry = "insert into reg values (";
$qry = $qry."'$FirstNa me'";
$qry = $qry.",'$LastNa me'";
qry = $qry.",'$Email' ";
$qry = $qry.")";
$rs=$db->query ($qry);
if (DB::iserror($r s)){print"call someone"; print $rs->getMessage() ;}
$result = mssql_query("SE LECT * FROM reg");
$num_rows = mssql_num_rows( $result) ;
if ($num_rows > 10)
{
echo "Sorry, our registration is full. Please stay tuned till the next
one.";
}
else
{
echo "Congratulation s, $FirstName! Your have registered for --- ";
echo "<p>";
}
?>
Hope it is clearer now. What's most frustrating is that it worked for a
while,
but now it is messed up.
I also tried another "insert" statement that goes like this:
$qry = "insert into reg values ('$FirstName',' $LastName','$Em ail')";
However, this doesn't work either. I looked into examples online, but
none of those "insert into" statements handle varibles (they all insert
actual values such as "Hanna, Smith, hs@yahoo.com', etc.)
