Hi,

Thought I would post this before I start to bang my head of the table.

I have a query that outputs an array from a table.The output is showing records that are no longer in the table. Even when i delete the table, these records still show. I am using php for my queries. How can I get rid of these annoying records. I think the problem may lie with query_cache but I could be wrong.

Hi.

How exactly are you executing the queries to get this data?
Could we see the code?
It wold also help to see how the table is structured.

[code=php]
<?php
require "config.php";

// array of all projects
$query1 = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT proj_id FROM object") or die(mysql_error());
while($all = mysql_fetch_array($query1)) {
$array1[] = $all['proj_id'];
}


// array of projects needing priced
$query2 = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT proj_id FROM object, module WHERE object.module_name = module.module_name AND confirmed = '0'") or die(mysql_error());
while($notPriced = mysql_fetch_array($query2)) {
$array2[] = $notPriced['proj_id'];
}

$diff = array_diff($array1, $array2);

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($diff)) {
echo "$val <br>";

//$q2 = mysql_query("SELECT project_name, company_name, proj_id FROM project WHERE proj_id = '$val'") or die(mysql_error());
// $row = mysql_fetch_arrayS($q2);
// echo $row['company_name'] . '$' . $row['project_name'] . '$' . $row['proj_id'] . '^';

}

?>
[/code]

The table is using myISAM and is as follows;

CREATE TABLE `tes`.`project` (
`proj_id` VARCHAR( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
`project_name` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
`form` VARCHAR( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
`access` VARCHAR( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
`cable_entry` VARCHAR( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
`ip_rating` VARCHAR( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
`fault_rating` VARCHAR( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
`company_name` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
`proj_manager` VARCHAR( 30 ) NOT NULL ,
`deadline` VARCHAR( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( `proj_id` ) 
) ENGINE = MYISAM

and the output I get when I run this query as is;

4 
77 
1 
111 
78 
444 
222 
1004

This is a list of project id's that fit the criteria but each one has been deleted. Even if I delete the table these records still show.

Maybe you forgot to "commit" and/or close the current connection after deleting the table. Then your program of course still sees the old data.

If not,then just figure out where the old data is cached.
After deleting the table and restarting the database, is it still there when inquiring again? Then it's cached somewhere inside your apache/php.

After figuring that out, we can help you more.

Silly me. I was working of the wrong table. The child table still had the proj_id fields in it. Duh!

Thanks anyway
