Hi all,

I've pulled most of my hair out over the last few days and need some help.

Description:
I am creating a db application with dreamweaver and using php and mysql server behaviour. My database consists of losts of many to many tables that are necessary.
I have created the 1st page with a table and links that send an url variable to the detail form on another page. That works fine.

Problem:
As per normal, I have recordset with an update form on the detail page that recieves the url variable. That all works great.
However, I want to use the url variable that was passed to the detail form from the the 1st form. The variable will be used for the 2nd recordset on the detail page.

How do I get the url variable that has been passed to the 2nd page to my 2nd recordset by using dreamweavers recordset builder?

Please see below for an example of what I am trying to accomplish

Select * from table1, Table2
Where tableIndex.fieldValue1 = url variable and table2.fieldvalue = table1.fieldValue2


Many thanks in advance

John

Is your solution dependent on using DW??

Post your code.

Post your code.

In reply to ardav:

It doesn't have to be dependent on DW but I am using it for speed. Kinda!!!

Please see code below:

<?php require_once('../Connections/venture.php'); ?>

<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 
{
  if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
  }

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;    
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;

In reply to matricol

recordsets create SQL queries

Member Avatar for matricol

so html with dreamweaver and databases :) sound good i;ll search for tuts thanks dude

Member Avatar for ko ko

URL variable ? You mean 'www.xxx.com?data1=php&data2=language' like this ?
You can retrieve the parameter passed by URL with `$_GET[]` method. With above example

$data1 = $_GET['data1']; //assign 'php' from url
$data2 = $_GET['data2']; //assign 'language' from url

Perhaps, I'm wrong.
