ADODB recordcount returns 0 although is should be 1

[Frederic Se]

Hey everyone,

I have the problem that one and the same SQL query returns two different results.

1. When executed in PHPMyAdmin, the query returns 1 record set.

2. When executed in the script, recordcount returns 0.

This is the query in plain:

select users.uid, users.name, users.mail, users.status, users_roles.uid , users_roles.rid , role.rid from users LEFT JOIN users_roles ON (users.uid = users_roles.uid ) LEFT JOIN role ON (users_roles.ri d = role.rid) WHERE users.name = 'username' AND MD5('password') = users.pass AND role.rid = 3

And this is the relavant code segment:

if (!$adodb_drupal) $adodb_drupal = connect_adodb(DB_NAME_DRUPAL);
 
    //Check the input for illegal chars
    $current_username     = check_input($_POST['username'],"username");
    $current_password     = check_input($_POST['password'],"password");
 
    // check the input with concrete rules
    $input_check     = "";
    $input_check  .= check_username($current_username);
    $input_check  .= check_password($current_password);
 
    // Input check is only filled if either the username or the password is worng! This is done in the function check_username/check_password.
    // Username/password are wrong if they contain certain characters or are too long or empty! 
    if ($input_check != "") 
    {                    
        // output/log
        update_log(trim($input_check,"\,"));                                        
    }
 
    // Check user in Drupal DB
 
    $current_password = utf8_encode($current_password);
 
    $query = "select 
                users.uid,
                users.name,
                users.mail,
                users.status,
                users_roles.uid,
                users_roles.rid,
                role.rid
                from users
                LEFT JOIN users_roles ON (users.uid = users_roles.uid)
                LEFT JOIN role ON (users_roles.rid = role.rid)
                WHERE users.name = '" . $current_username . "'  
                AND MD5('".$current_password."') = users.pass
                AND role.rid = 3";
 
    $result = $adodb_drupal->Execute($query);
 
    // IF the result is filled, the user exists and we check if the user is active or not
    if (($result != FALSE) AND ($result->RecordCount() > 0))
    {
        // User found, checking status is active    
        if ($result->fields['status'] == 1) 
        {
            update_log("SUCCESS - user/pwd match active user. Username: " . $current_username);
            $_SESSION["uid"] = $result->fields['uid'];
 
            // If the user exists and is active we have "success"
            $_SESSION["authorization"] = "success";
            $_SESSION["action"] = "home";
            $action = "home";
            $validate ="1";
            $_POST['validate'] = "1";
 
            $User_ID = $result->fields['uid'];
        } 
        else 
        {
            update_log("FAILED - user/pwd match user not active. Username: " . $current_username);
 
            // If the user exists, but is not active, we have "notactive"
            $_SESSION['authorization'] = "notactive";
        }                                        
    } 
    else 
    {
        update_log("FAILED - no user/pwd match. Username: " . $current_username);
 
        // If the user is not in the database we have "unknown"
        $_SESSION['authorization'] = "unknown";        
    }
    $adodb_drupal->close();
 

Does anyone have an idea? As I said, the query returns a result when executed in the database, but not in the script.

Cheers,

Fred
