[Resolved] matchin values

ajdegans

Hey there,

im trying to create a script which is checking of a set of values matches a set of values earlier entered in a mysql database.

Now the problem is how do i match those...

right now im trying this:

$getuser="SELECT * FROM bl_users WHERE id='$userID'";
$getuser2=mysql_query($getuser) or die("Could not get contact info");
$getuser3=mysql_fetch_array($getuser2);

if($edit_name==$getuser3[name] && $edit_url==$getuser3[name] && $edit_script==$getuser3[script] && $edit_message==$getuser3[description] && $edit_version==$getuser3[version]) {
  print "All your info is the same. No need to change it!";
} elseif($edit_name && $edit_url && $edit_message && edit_version ) { 
  print "just continue";
} else { 
  echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV = 'Refresh' Content = '2; URL =edit.php?userID=$userID'>";
echo "All fields must be filled in<br>Redirecting to form...."; 
}

but this is not working, it seems to skip the matchin part and just continues to the elseif...

anyone got a idea on this? Thanks in advance! 😉

where are the values (not comming from the db) comming from?

if they are comming from a form, use the $_POST vars. dont relie on global vars being turned on. also, you should make sure all your values contained in array are surrounded by single quotes.

example;

$_POST['edit_name']==$getuser3['name']

yes its all $_POST stuff...

but...

i made a real dumb mistake by matching 2 db values with the same value from a $_post resulting in a ever changing thing and thats why it wasnt working

shame on me:glare:

so its fixed already 🙂

Thanks anyway...😃
