Use PHP to compare fields from two different tables in same database and yield result

1 New Member
I have a module in a shopping cart program where a sellers logs in and adds product. As usual the seller logs in with an email and password which is stored in the mysql table _supplier_admin s. This table also contains the field supplier_admin_ name.

When the seller adds product they currently have the choice to select a manufacturer. For later reporting reasons I am attempting to change the default manufacture depending on the seller logged in. The manufacturer is stored in the mysql table _manufactuers. It should be noted this same table also contains manufactuer_id and manufacture_nam e. I have created product manufactures in the cart that match each sellers_admin_ name.

It should also be noted that the cart that I am using uses the manufactuer_id to select, store, display and report on information not the manufacture_nam e.
As stated I am attempting to create code that will change the default manufacturer based on the seller that is logged in. Both of the fields that I want to compare are VARCHAR(32). I am not sure if this matters but one is of collation latin1_swedish_ ci and the other is utf8_general_ci .

I want the code to do the following:

If the supplier_admin_ name from table _supplier_admin sis equal to manufacture_nam e from table _manufactuers then the default manufacturer will be equal to the corresponding manufactuer_id. Corresponding meaning from the same record as the matching manufacture_nam e.

I know very little about php and I am hoping to get help with this. I am using the Zen Cart shopping cart software. MySQL client version: 5.0.45 and PHP Version 5.25

Any help with this code would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, dbanrman.

If you want help with some code you have, you're in the right place. If you want someone to write some code for you, you need to go somewhere else. Assuming you have some code already, post it here and then tell us why it's not working or particular questions.

We don't make code, we fix code ;)

[Edit]
And use correct code tags in your post!

Hi everybody- I'm helping a friend with a music database. She has an old one and is creating a new one. She wants to compare records and fields in the old database with records and fields in the new database. For instance, her old database has a table with Band Info in it. Her new database also has a table with Band Info in it but slightly different. I was wondering if there was an easy way to compare the fields from similar tables in...

Hi everybody- I have 2 tables, Hearings and Rulings. Both have primary keys called, CaseID, that are autonumbers. I don't want both tables to have the same autonumber.

For example, Hearings with CaseIDs= 55, 56, and 57 may be entered before a Ruling or vice versa. There is no definite...

I have two tables and I want to compare these two tables with a query( ie. "select * from A where B.key = A.key") and the result will be stored in a 3rd table (table C). is this possible? If necessary, I can create the schema for the 3rd table (C) since it'll be exactly like table A. But I'm more interested in being able to store the resulting set into another table. Thanks.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
