[SOLVED] I'm Stuck Please help

[rockindano30]

Well, I have a little problem here. I am working on a web app. the point of this database app is to keep track of employees and their keys assigned to them. It lists all employees and their keys they are assigned and what doors they open (departments). now i have three tables:

 

employees(emp_id, Fname,Lname,email,dept_id)

departments(dept_id,dept,phone)

emp_keys(k_id,emp_id,key_num, accss)

 

now i have a problem with displaying all records on employees table. there are around thirty employees and only displays half of that. everything else that i want it to do works just fine except that. here is code of where i display all records:

 

<?php
				$emp_id=$_GET["emp_id"];

				//get the mysql and store them in $result
				//change whatevertable to the mysql table you're using
				//change whatevercolumn to the column in the table you want to search
				$query = "SELECT employees.emp_id,Fname,Lname,email,dept,key_num,accss FROM emp_keys, departments, employees WHERE departments.dept_id=employees.dept_id and emp_keys.emp_id=employees.emp_id order by departments.dept";

				$result = mysql_query($query);

				//grab all the content
				while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
				{	
				   //the format is $variable = $r["nameofmysqlcolumn"];
				   //modify these to match your mysql table columns
				   $dept=$r["dept"];
				   $asscc=$r["accss"];
				   $Fname=$r["Fname"];
				   $Lname=$r["Lname"];
				   $email=$r["email"];
				   $key_num=$r["key_num"];
				   $emp_id=$r["emp_id"];
				?>
              <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" class="table1">
                <tr>
                  <td width="14%"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php print $dept; ?></font></td>
                  <td width="17%"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color:#CC6600"><?php print $Fname." ".$Lname; ?></font></td>
                  <td width="28%"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php print $email; ?></font></td>
                  <td width="10%"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php print $key_num; ?></font></td>
                  <td width="50%"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php print $asscc; ?></font></td>
                  <td width="50%">
                  <?php print"<a href='delete.php?emp_id={$emp_id['emp_id']}'>Remove</a><br />";?>
                  </td>
                </tr>
              </table>
            <?php
}//end while loop
?>
            <?php
}
?>

shouldn't you put the html code into the while statement? Otherwise you will be redeclaring values in the arrays...  I don't know if that was the problem you had

[rockindano30]

dont think so i'm guessing its dealing with the select $query statement. but i'll try it see how it goes

 

thanks

[rockindano30]

no that didn't fix it. i have been on this problem for several hrs now and can't seem to find whats wrong with  it.

[Skittalz]

Can you please provide the source code for that whole file? Thanks

[rockindano30]

here it is

this is the code

[Skittalz]

Okay, thanks I am looking at it... whats the file name?

[Skittalz]

Your connecting to the database as well correct

[rockindano30]

yes i'm connecting. as i mentioned it does everything works except that it only displays half my records

[DarkWater]

Did you copy and paste that directly into the forum?  Because if you did, you missed a quote here:

 

mysql_select_db("db name);

 

Should be:

mysql_select_db("db name");

[rockindano30]

this file is called allKeys.php oh yeah i forgot to type in that quote there my bad but thats not the problem. i have been breaking my head in trying to find why it only displays half my records

[Skittalz]

Did you copy and paste that directly into the forum?  Because if you did, you missed a quote here:

 

mysql_select_db("db name);

 

Should be:

mysql_select_db("db name");

 

i hope hes not connecting to a db called 'db name' lol

[rockindano30]

lol no i'm not connecting to that, edit that part for the forum

[DarkWater]

He erased it for privacy... o-o

 

And change:

$result = mysql_query($query);

To:

$result = mysql_query($query) OR die(mysql_error());

 

Secondly, please give me an example row from each table so I can see the relationship better.

[revraz]

now i have a problem with displaying all records on employees table. there are around thirty employees and only displays half of that. everything else that i want it to do works just fine except that. here is code of where i display all records:

 

$query = "SELECT employees.emp_id,Fname,Lname,email,dept,key_num,accss FROM emp_keys, departments, employees WHERE departments.dept_id=employees.dept_id and emp_keys.emp_id=employees.emp_id";

 

 

 

Just for you know, you are not displaying All records on the Employees table, you are displaying the ones that match your SELECT statement.

 

Now granted if that statement does in fact match all of your records then they all should show, but chances are it's a problem in your query.

[Skittalz]

If it displays half the records, try looking at which ones it is not displaying: is there a connection with the ones not displaying? Like is it not displaying the last 10 entries or something... From there we can isolate where the problem is occuring

[rockindano30]

k heres an example:

 

Department    |      Employee name    |    email                  |  key_num    |  access    |    remove

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Public      Roxy Gomez      [email protected]          08998  blank        Remove

 

[Skittalz]

Try removing the

WHERE departments.dept_id=employees.dept_id and emp_keys.emp_id=employees.emp_id

 

If that doesn't display them all its a coding problem

[rockindano30]

k removing that displays all records (the whole table) thirty time

[Skittalz]

delete the while statment?

[DarkWater]

I meant example database rows with the proper labels.  >_>

 

And try running the query in the MySQL client and see what the output is.  If it displays all of them, it's a coding problem, if it doesn't, it's an SQL problem.

[rockindano30]

it displays each employee thirty times and there are thirty employees. and if remove the while statement it doesn't display anything

 

[Skittalz]

well instead of the while try

$r = mysql_fetch_array($result);

 

that should work

[rockindano30]

k i ran the query in mysql client and it only displays the same thing half the records

[rockindano30]

it has to be a sql syntax problem but i can seem to figure it out.
