Hi Guys
I am printing names into a combo box and posting the variable. I try and use the name ($Sem) in an SQL statement; WHERE name = $Sem; but I get an error which is displayed near the end of this message. Are we able compare php string to postgresql character varying?? not sure how else to do the selection
$conn = pg_Connect("host=localhost dbname=#### user=#### password=####");
if (!$conn) {echo "An database connection error occurred.\n"; exit;}
// e.g. $Sem = "seminar one";
$Sem = $_POST['Seminars'];
$Sem_No = pg_Exec($conn,"SELECT seminar_id FROM seminar WHERE name = $Sem");
if (!$SemNo) {echo "A query error occurred in retreiving the selected seminar's ID <br>"; /*exit;*/}
$Sem_No = pg_Result($Sem_No, 0);
// Error Message
Warning: pg_exec() [
function.pg-exec]: Query failed: ERROR: syntax error at or near "one" at character 54 in
