MySQL Conditional Query

dont use session variable in the condition.

hello jackakos,
in this line

$get_event = "select * from event where event_time like $_SESSION['event_time'] and emp_no like $_SESSION['check_array']";

it is better to use = while getting data eith emp_no.
and you can use $check_array in your query like:

$get_event = "select * from event where event_time like $_SESSION['event_time'] and emp_no like $check_array";

because we are using foreach..
if my post is wrong...please ignore..

Shanti,

I think you are things out clearly, except it has date which is critical - because, I should be able to query the said date, time and ensure the emp_no also matches.

$get_event = "select * from event where event_date like $_SESSION['event_date'] event_time like $_SESSION['event_time'] and emp_no like $check_array";

Is the above possible?

not the matter , the above query is possible or not...if our session time and date matches the database fields , it will give according result...
But we want the desired output from that query...thats why post what you want,table structure and any other variables...then i will look into that...

The Event table has the following attributes
(`event_id`, `start_time`, `event_date`, `description`, `location`, `duration`, `emp_no`)

What is expected of the query is to search the event table based on the date scheduled for a new event by checking if the person is already booked for that time.

I have session variable for the above attributes:

$_SESSION
$_SESSION
$_SESSION
$_SESSION
$_SESSION
$_SESSION

Below is the code

$search1 = mysql_connect('','', '') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db("hello",$search1) or die ('Could not connect ' .mysql_error());
$my_checked = $_SESSION['check_array'];

FOREACH ($_SESSION['check_array'] as $check_array)
{	// conditional query of database
	$get_event = "select * from event where emp_no like $check_array and event_date like $_SESSION['event_date'] and event_time like $_SESSION['event_time']";

}

I have sorted the MySQL syntax, however, I need help.

I can now read from only one table and this is the results.

I have separated the queries because I was not getting any record.

line 28, 30 and 32 if used does not give any record, if that happens to be used then the others need to be commented out.

I was expecting to have the date, time and agenda to fill the table but it didn't

Folks, I have solved the problem with the follwoing script just in case any one may be interested.

FOREACH statement worked for me alright by using it on the array to search the database

session_start();

$poll = mysql_connect('','', '') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("",$poll) or die ('Could not connect ' .mysql_error());
 

FOREACH ($_SESSION['check_array'] as $check_array)
