general outline of situation; my office is moving away from microsoft (resistance is NOT futile!!! go slashdot!), and establishing web-based customer service systems.
i'm currently establishing a customer table, that links to a contact table. each customer will be listed once; to be the customer name and mailing address, with an auto_increment number serving as the customer number (key field, cnum). the contact table will contain specific contact names for each customer, with specific details such as email address, phone number, extension, title, etc. i currently have these tables joined on the customer number (cnum), with a separate contact number (auto increment, key field, conum) for the contact table. what i'm TRYING to figure out is this: i do a search within the two tables to find contacts for a customer, who has been selected from a drop-down box. this is matched on the cnum field in both tables. currently, if NO contacts exist for a client, the screen remains blank. i want to generate an option to input contact information in this case. the logic for this is roughly: if the search for cnum within contacts yields no result (empty set) then show "do you wish to input?" screen else list contact info end if i can't seem to get my head wrapped around the syntactual requirements for using mysql_store_result() within vbscript. following is a sample of what i have so far, if it helps. can someone point me in the right direction?
