run query with empty form field

[geraldjr30]

hi,

i have the following:

$T_GROUP = $_POST["T_GROUP"];
$site = $_POST["site"];
....
$sql="SELECT day, field1, field3, field4, field5 FROM qry_sum WHERE field3 = '".$T_GROUP."' AND field2 LIKE '".$site."' AND day = 'SUNDAY';
$rs=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);
if (!$rs)
  {exit("Error in SQL");}
 
while (odbc_fetch_row($rs))
{
  $SFT=odbc_result($rs, shift);
  $BER=odbc_result($rs, infocount);
  $TTLS=odbc_result($rs2, ttl);
  $TTLGRAND=odbc_result($rs3, ttl_GRAND);    
print "<br>";
 
echo $SFT;
 
 

when there is a value in the "site" form field the query retrieves records related to that site. i would like to know if there is a way the query can retrieve ALL results when the "site" form field is empty?



thanks in advance,

Sure, you can do that. Just check to see whether your 'site' field is empty (or not set).

<?php
 
// ...
 
if ( ! isset ( $_POST['site'] ) || $_POST['site'] == "" )
{
    // Code for all sites goes here
}
else
{
    // Code for specific site goes here
}
 
?>
 
 

Then, in your SELECT query, simply omit any WHERE clause from the query - that way, when you run the query, it will return every row from the table (ie. all your sites).

Hope this helps,
Markus.

ok.. i now have...

if ( ! isset ( $_POST['fac'] ) || $_POST['fac'] == "" ) 
...
$sql="SELECT admitday, shift, SRG_GROUP, sum(infocount) as infocount2, hospitalcode FROM qry_sum WHERE SRG_GROUP = '".$SRG_GROUP."' AND hospitalcode LIKE '".$fac."' AND admitday ='".$count."'";
else
$sql="SELECT admitday, shift, SRG_GROUP, infocount, hospitalcode FROM qry_sum WHERE SRG_GROUP = '".$SRG_GROUP."' AND admitday ='".$count."'";
 
....
....
if ( ! isset ( $_POST['fac'] ) || $_POST['fac'] == "" ) 
$BER=odbc_result($rs, infocount2);
else
$BER=odbc_result($rs, infocount);
 
 

but i am getting an error...

It would help to know the error.
