NOTES: My coding cannot funtion well. it doesnt work..urmm.. okay, let me explain bout it first.. there's a table name SOALAN in my system that contain some field such as id, soalan, jwpA, jwpB, jwpC, jwpD, jwpObj, jwpSubj, jenis(which is type), and many more. I've two types(jenis) of questions(soala n) in my system; which is "subjektif" and "objektif".

For type "Objektif", only jwpA, jwpB, jwpC, jwpD and jwpObj that exist the content (its empty for field jwpSubj for this type), meanwhile for type "Subjektif" , its only exist the content for jwpSubj and empty for the others field(i mean jwpA, jwpB, jwpC, jwpD, jwpObj).

So, when i want to call the question(soalan ) field, i want to make a if-else statement to call the different types of question; which is like in the above coding.. hv i make it clear...? i just don't know why it can't funtion well.. i think its because of the system didn't recognize which type the question would be.. hurm.. anyone.. please help me with this.......

First of all, dit you test the SQL in a tool like PHPMyAdmin or, when working locale, a stand alone query tool?
Make sure that you get the results from the database as you want them.

Second, do not name a field in a table the same as the table itself, you will run in trouble soner or later.

When looking at the beginning of the code it seems you search for a type and a question together. they must be given both by the user

This means you can adjust your SQL to search for the type and the question

Inyour input form make sure you use a select statement (either radio or dropdown) to make sure you always get either a "objektif" or "subjektif"
Than you do not need a LIKE statement in your SQL, its rather time consuming

Before you submit the query to the database echo it to your screen to see if it is complete. Test this query also in the databse itself to see howmany results you can expect.

Next just print everything. If this is all OK than start working with the IF:s

Google can't find me a good example of how to use the "if exists" syntax in MySql. Is it right that to use it this way: INSERT INTO IF EXISTS tMyTable VALUES("xxlk", "lkjlkjlkjljk") I want to insert into a table but only if the table exists. How does one, in general, from PHP, test for the existence of a table, without getting an error message?

I had developed the habit of using the neat python form: if someinstance: someinstance.memb() because it seems cleaner than "if someinstance is not None". {please no flames about "is not None" vs. "!= None" ...} This seemed like a good idea at the time :(). Twice, recently, however, as my app grew, I thought, hmm... it would make things clearer if I gave

I have 3 types of objects: bob1, bob2 and bob3. Each object is identified by a unique ID which gets returned by the function getId(). All bobs are descendants from class BaseBob which is an abstract class that has the virtual function getId(). I then have a function that prints a special string when a bob meets another bob (all combinations of bobs has to meet and since the are schizophrenic they can also meet themselves):

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
