I have a database of dealers.
=Hmm, reminds me of a joke: how many industries do you know that refer to their
customers as users and their
suppliers as dealers?
A web page loads a list of states, a user
clicks on the
state and the database is queried and lists in a table the dealers for that state.
Simple
enough. When the dealers page is first loaded, it shows all dealers in the database,
name, address, phone, etc. I want to change that to just the dealer names linked to
their state listing. I can get the page to display the dealer names okay, but when I
try to
get the link to work it just reloads the currant page. The url shows the correct
information.
I shouldn't have to designate a seperate page to show the results should I? I don't
want to,
I want this to be the default that loads when the page is loaded.
I have this code snippet below, that when I click on the the link in the web page,
the url
shows the correct info for the page, but it does not load, it just reloads the same
current
page.
=nothing has sprung off the page and caught my eye (yes well...), but two things:
=1. recommend that you put in an echo/printr immediately before the mysql_query()
call, to check the $query
contents - and the outcome of the logic in the preceding lots of elseif statements
trimmed
=2. that statement lots of elseif statements trimmed throws up a yellow flag,
because the more
intertwined/nested ifs, if-thens, and if-then-elses there are, the more there is space
for confusion. Assuming
that $orderby is in fact a code for 'state' (as in location) and that the trimmed
statements are similar why not
do away with the many choices and settle for:
$query = select * from dealers where ID = $orderby order by 'DealerName' asc;
=Does the debug output match up with the URL?
=dn
Thanks for the help...

elseif ($orderby == '46'):

else:
$query = select * from dealers;
endif;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$i = 0;
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if ($result):

printf(br\na href=\mailto:%s\;%s/a\n, $row[Email], $row[Email]);
print(/td\n);
if ($i % 2)
{
echo /tr\ntr\n;
}
$i++;
}
else:
printf(td.$row[ID]. a href='dealerDB2.php?ID=$row[ID]'%s/a,
$row[DealerName]);
print(/td);
if ($i % 2)
{
echo /tr\ntr\n;
}
$i++;
endif;
}
