I am totally new to php but I thought it would help me to try to help you.
I think you add single quotes around $accnum.
$accnumwith ----> '$accnum'

Subject: [GLLUG] Retrieving a row from mysql
I'm working on my database project (See 'MySql: Database inside of a
Database').
It was suggested that I have an account number in each table...
So now for example my table is
(The real table has a lot more info, but hopefully this demonstrates what
I'm trying to do)
Table name: players
name - accountnum - blah -blah
Seth -- 12 -- y - n
You --- 34 --- y -k
Blah - N -- more -- no
I have a query like this in php:
$name = 'Seth';
$accnum= 12;
$tablename = 'players'
query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tablename WHERE name= '$name' AND
accountnum= $accnum");
When I run this, I get a message saying that I have an error in my syntext
and to check the manuel for my version of MySql for the right syntext to use
near " at line 1.
Why?
I specified accountnum in the table creation script as
accountnum int(10) unsigned NOT NULL
Thanks,
Seth
