You don't say which DBMS your using or what the specific error message (sometimes they are helpful - although sometimes useless) is but I think what your after is: where status = 'i' Notice that you must quote the values for string or characters. Try this on your DBMS's command line (no we

Hola, I think what you want would be like this: Let's say your table has these fields: id, title, authorID, category and article (which is the text). so the first query might be - SELECT id, title, category FROM myTable WHERE authorID = $myID and you want to know how to present a list of h

You can put any valid SQL command into the mysql_query command so you could write a PHP file that had a bunch of lines like these (after your connect and such) mysql_query ( "ALTER TABLE foo ADD COLUMN bar int..." ); mysql_query ( "CREATE TABLE foo2 (foo2ID int)" ); Better still to chec

Right idea but I think this will be more efficient (who knows try both - you have a lot of "OR"s which can force another query to run): I'm assuming your Unit table is called "unit" and the primary key is "id" and this joins to bookings.unit_id SELECT id FROM bookings left join unit ON id
