show literal when column contains certain value

[nathanwb]

I have an index.php page that does a query from a database of users, in this database there is a field called isadmin.. I am wondering if it would be possible to do some type of IF statement based on that field having a certain value? Some how fetching the status of that field, like if field=1 then echo "this" and if it equals 0 then display nothing..?

Thanks

That can be done by sql..

SELECT * FROM `your_table` WHERE `field_1`='value_1' AND `isadmin`='required_value'

If you want to try that with an if in PHP, do it like
[PHP]
while ($row = myqsl_fetch_array($sql))
{
if ($row['isadmin']=="required_value")
{
echo "string to be printed";
}
}[/PHP]

But the SQL solution is recommended.

Sorry for bursting in, but I think what OP means is that he/she wants to replace a selected column value using an IF function. As the following example: when field_1 equals 1 it will be shown as 'this'

SELECT *, IF(field_1=1, 'this', field_1) AS field1_new FROM your_table;

This is a MySQL question so I will move it to the MySQL forum.

ohh... if that's the case, then I guess I misinterpreted the question.

Happens to me frequently. Sometimes it is hard to understand what the OP means, because the real question is more or less hidden in the stated question.
