Assistance greatly appreciated...

[templar_knight]

with the following suffix of code:

mykids_pics.php?timeframe=2001Q2

everything is fine...

and I trapped the "users" (my family) if they manually go to the address bar and change the 2001Q2 to say...2005. I throw them to another page (as illustrated below)...no biggie.

BUT>>>

If they were to rip the extension off, leaving:
mykids_pics.php

I get errors galore.

How can I put a check in the code for that? Here's a snippit of what i have running right now:

$query="SELECT * FROM pics_counts WHERE file_prefix = '$timeframe'";

$result=mysql_query($query);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);

 IF ($num < 1)
 {
      Header("Location: doesnotexist.php");
 }[/I]

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Looks like you just need to check your $timeframe variable before you do any of your sql. If it is empty, just send them to your doesnotexist page.

Many thanks for the immediate response. I just tried it out and it works perfectly.

Again, thanks.
