Variable after WHERE

8 New Member
I've got a piece of script that works that looks like this:
_______________ _______________ _______________ ______________

$username="daed alus_admin";
$password="test ";
$database="daed alus_db";

mysql_connect(l ocalhost,$usern ame,$password);
@mysql_select_d b($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

$query="SELECT * FROM user WHERE username='daeda lus";
$result=mysql_q uery($query);

$num=mysql_numr ows($result);
_______________ _______________ _______________ ______________

I want to change it to this so that I can use a variable from a session at a later date:
_______________ _______________ _______________ ______________

$schque="daedal us"

$username="daed alus_admin";
$password="test ";
$database="daed alus_db";

mysql_connect(l ocalhost,$usern ame,$password);
@mysql_select_d b($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

$query="SELECT * FROM user WHERE username='$schq ue";
$result=mysql_q uery($query);

$num=mysql_numr ows($result);
_______________ _______________ _______________ ______________

But as soon as I change the criteria of the WHERE to $schque the page stops working and comes up blank, i've tried it without the ' round it but it still doesn't work, I'm really confused any help would be appriecated.

use

$a=$_REQUEST['$schque'];
$query="SELECT * FROM user WHERE username='$a'";

I am contemplating getting into Python, which is used by engineers I admire - google and Bram Cohen, but was horrified to read "no variable or argument declarations are necessary." Surely that means that if I misspell a variable name, my program will mysteriously fail to work with no error message. If you don't declare variables, you can inadvertently re-use an variable used in an enclosing context when you don't intend to, or

Hello! I've come across a strange error that occurs, when you try to return a nodelist from a variable with a choose/where/otherwise statement.

I'm told by the compiler at runtime, that "the expression should evaluate to a nodeset" (the...

I'm a newbie using VS2005 to learn and test. I'm testing against the Northwind DB. I created a simple variable called "myVariable" and I assigned it the character "c". I want my SQL query to use this variable in the "Where" statement where it will pull up all names with the letter "c" in it. How do I pass this variable on the the WHERE statement? I thought all I had to do was use the <% %> with my variable inside and that would work...

In the function below, I'd like to extend the scope of the $table variable such that, once assigned it would become available to other parts of the function. I thought 'global $table;' would solve this but it's clear that I'm misunderstanding $variable persistence. I posted a similar enquiry over at alt.php.mysql, but I guess this is a more appropriate forum because the problems I'm having relate to PHP. Any help appreciated. ...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
