Insert page: Check and validate against 2 database fields

Thread began 12/31/2020 6:49 am by msbannister373603 | Last modified 1/06/2021 10:09 am by Ray Borduin | 939 views | 16 replies |

Insert page: Check and validate against 2 database fields

I have the following code. I'm trying to validate against 2 database fields before insert. If player_name and grad_year are the same don't allow the insert. This code works but it only works on player_name. It's ignoring the second part of my query. It looks like I have the query correct so I'm guessing it's the order or syntax of the php script. Any help appreciated.


<?php
//check.php
if(isset($_POST["Insert"]))
{
$player_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($connect, $_POST["player_name"]);
$grad_year = mysqli_real_escape_string($connect, $_POST["grad_year"]);
$query = "SELECT * FROM players WHERE player_name = '".$player_name."'AND grad_year = '".$grad_year."' ";
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);
echo mysqli_num_rows($result);
}
{
$InsertQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($tsrbase);
$InsertQuery->Action = "insert";
$InsertQuery->Table = "players";
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("player_name", "s", "".((isset($_POST["player_name"]))?$_POST["player_name"]:"") ."", "WA_BLANK");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("grad_year", "d", "".((isset($_POST["grad_year"]))?$_POST["grad_year"]:"") ."", "WA_ZERO");
$InsertQuery->saveInSession("WADA_Insert_players");
$InsertQuery->execute();
$InsertGoTo = "playersInsert.php?NewPW=Yes";
if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $InsertGoTo = $InsertGoTo?rel2abs($InsertGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
$InsertQuery->redirect($InsertGoTo);
}
?>

I see a recordset and an insert, but I don't see the IF statement that validates no results were returned. Can you attach the full page so I can see it in context? That might help me identify the issue.

I think you need:

php:
<?php

//check.php
if(isset($_POST["Insert"])) {
$player_name mysqli_real_escape_string($tsrbase$_POST["player_name"]);
$grad_year mysqli_real_escape_string($tsrbase$_POST["grad_year"]);
$query "SELECT * FROM players WHERE player_name = '".$player_name."'AND grad_year = '".$grad_year."' ";
$result mysqli_query($connect$query);
 
  if (
mysqli_num_rows($result) == 0) {
$InsertQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($tsrbase);
$InsertQuery->Action "insert";
$InsertQuery->Table "players";
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("player_name""s""".((isset($_POST["player_name"]))?$_POST["player_name"]:"") ."""WA_BLANK");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("grad_year""d""".((isset($_POST["grad_year"]))?$_POST["grad_year"]:"") ."""WA_ZERO");
$InsertQuery->saveInSession("WADA_Insert_players");
$InsertQuery->execute();
$InsertGoTo "playersInsert.php?";
if (
function_exists("rel2abs")) $InsertGoTo $InsertGoTo?rel2abs($InsertGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
$InsertQuery->redirect($InsertGoTo);
  }

Validate 2 columns

Hi Ray. Thx for sending. I tried to run what you sent and it loads fine but the query still doesn't work. I added a bracket after the line ($result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);). Once I added the bracket the query works how I want it to work. However, the page does not load properly. It will load but I get an error message at the top of the page. Undefined variable result on line 31. Line 31 is the line with the if (mysqli_num_rows($result) == 0) {. Also, I get the error

Warning: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in C:\wamp64\www\registry\Admin\players\playersInsert.php on line 31

Here is the code I'm using that is working properly with the error on load

<?php

//check.php

if(isset($_POST["Insert"])) {

$player_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($tsrbase, $_POST["player_name"]);

$grad_year =mysqli_real_escape_string($tsrbase, $_POST["grad_year"]);

$query = "SELECT * FROM players WHERE player_name = '".$player_name."'AND grad_year = '".$grad_year."' ";

$result = mysqli_query($tsrbase, $query);

}

if (mysqli_num_rows($result) == 0) {

if (isset($_POST["Insert"]) || isset($_POST["Insert_x"])) {
$InsertQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($tsrbase);
$InsertQuery->Action = "insert";
$InsertQuery->Table = "players";
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("player_name", "s", "".((isset($_POST["player_name"]))?$_POST["player_name"]:"") ."", "WA_BLANK");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("grad_year", "d", "".((isset($_POST["grad_year"]))?$_POST["grad_year"]:"") ."", "WA_ZERO");
$InsertQuery->saveInSession("WADA_Insert_players");
$InsertQuery->execute();
$InsertGoTo = "playersInsert.php?NewPW=Yes";
if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $InsertGoTo = $InsertGoTo?rel2abs($InsertGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
$InsertQuery->redirect($InsertGoTo);
}
}
?>

Maybe the missing space in:

$query = "SELECT * FROM players WHERE player_name = '".$player_name."'AND grad_year = '".$grad_year."' ";

should be:
$query = "SELECT * FROM players WHERE player_name = '".$player_name."' AND grad_year = '".$grad_year."' ";

That didn't work. It's working fine except for the 2 error messages upon loading. Also, upon submission, instead of inserting the data with the next auto-incremented number for some reason the next auto-incremented ID number is 1,226; when the next number should be 89. I'm sure it's something simple. Thx

What two error messages are showing upon loading?

You can reset your auto increment value with this statement:

ALTER TABLE `players` AUTO_INCREMENT = 89;

Ray, Here is are the errors I get using the folloiwng code: Again, this works but I get the error messages. Also, the insert uses the auto number of 1289 instead of the correct auto number which the next insert should be 89. Not sure why but I can live with that I guess. I do konw how to reset the auto increment but that's not the issue. Thx Mike
