Another PHP problem has kept me up all night, scouring through my database
books and trying everything I could think of. I am still new to the MySQL
and PHP field, but never the lass I will not give up.
$cat is a variable that is passed to the query from the previous page. The
SELECT statement works faultlessly, except for the point at which no choice
is made from the drop down on the page prior to this one. I have set a value
of "x" to the drop down for a non selection, but am having problems
converting that "x" value to a "%" value (the MySql wildcard symbol) withing
my SELECT statement.
I am assuming that I will need an IF THEN before the SELECT, but I have
tried several variation to no avail.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT CompetitorName
FROM competitor, competitorproducts, productcategory
WHERE competitorproducts.CompID=competitor.ID
AND productcategory.ID=\"$cat\"
AND competitorproducts.CatID=productcategory.ID"
);
Any help would be mostly appreciated.
Thanks.
