Hi there
I have a database called "Eric" and table name called "Rocket'.
Table consists of three values. PARTNO | DESCRIPTION | COMMENT
So far if i want to show copper headgaskets from the 5r field i put this string into the php script (along with the rest of the html/php code)
$sql = "SELECT * FROM rocket WHERE partno like '5r%' AND description like 'COPPER HEADGASKET%'";
The problem is there is 1000s of different querys i want to run and dont want to make a page for each query. So what im trying to ask is how do i run a query to display the results (like http://www.domain.com/query.php?"the query i want to run" rather then link to a .php/html file with the query inside of it.)
The short answer is to use a GET variable for this.
http://example.com/script.php?sql=SELECT...
You have to remember to url encode the SQL, though (see urlencode()). You can access it like this:
$_GET['sql']
The longer answer is to use a package such as DB_DataObject_FormBuilder (http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder) to generate this stuff for you. It will take some setup, but once you're used to it, it can make this kind of app happen real quick.
