I am trying to build a search form to select data from two
tables:
TABLE 1
h_genres
fields - h_genre_id, (primary key), user.id (foreign key),
contrib._to. (text field), Advertising (set
‘Y’,’N’) and Editor (set
‘Y’,’N’)
TABLE 2
user
with fields user_id (primary key), first_name, last_name
The search form has checkboxes for the items I want to search
on: Advertising and/or Editor
Here’s the code:
<form id="form1" name="search" method="post"
action="results2.php">
<input type="checkbox" name="Advertising" value="Y"
id="Advertising" />
<label for="checkbox">Advertising</label>
<p>
<input type="checkbox" name="Annual_Reports" value="Y"
id="Annual_Reports" />
<label for="checkbox2">Annual Reports</label>
</p>
<p>
<input type="checkbox" name="Leader_Content" value="Y"
id="Leader_Content" />
<label for="checkbox3">Leader</label>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
I thought I could pass the values of these inputs to a query
in a POST variable. When I check the Advertising box on the search
form and submit it, I see the ‘Y’ is passed to the
results form.
Here’s the code from the variable dump on the results
page:
<!-- BEGIN VARIABLE DUMP -->
<!-- BEGIN GET VARS -->
<!-- -->
<!-- BEGIN POST VARS -->
<!-- { Advertising = 'Y', Submit = 'Submit' } -->
In the results form I set a variable var to
$_POST[‘Y’]
But all I’m getting for results are user records that
are not associated with the h_genres records.
Here’s the code from the results form:
<?php require_once('../Connections/xxxx.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType,
$theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue)
: $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ?
mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) :
mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" :
"NULL";
break;
case "long":
case "int":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "double":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) .
"'" : "NULL";
break;
case "date":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" :
"NULL";
break;
case "defined":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue :
$theNotDefinedValue;
break;
}
return $theValue;
}
}
$var_getHAUW = "some";
if (isset($_POST['Y'])) {
$var_getHAUW = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_POST['Y'] :
addslashes($_POST['Y']);
}
mysql_select_db($database_hauw, $hauw);
$query_getHAUW = sprintf("SELECT h_genres.user_id,
h_genres.contrib_to, h_genres.Advertising, h_genres.Annual_Reports,
h_genres.Leader_Content, `user`.first_name, `user`.last_name FROM
h_genres, `user` WHERE h_genres.user_id=`user`.user_id AND
Advertising=%s", GetSQLValueString($var_getHAUW, "text"));
$getHAUW = mysql_query($query_getHAUW, $hauw) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_getHAUW = mysql_fetch_assoc($getHAUW);
$totalRows_getHAUW = mysql_num_rows($getHAUW);

mysql_free_result($getHAUW);

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
