Performing a MYSQL query based off of $_GET results
- by Michael N
When a user clicks an item on my items page, it takes them to blank page template using $_GET to pass the item brand and model through.
I'd like to perform another MYSQL query when that user clicks through to populate the blank page with the product details from my database. I'd like to retrieve the single row using the model number (unique ID) to populate the page with the information. I've tried a couple of things but am having a little difficulty.
On my blank item page, I have
$brand = $_GET['Brand'];
$modelnumber = $_GET['ModelNumber'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM items WHERE `Model Number` = '$modelnumber'");
$results = mysql_fetch_row($query);
echo $results;
I think having ''s around Model Number is causing troubles, but without them, I get a Warning: mysql_fetch_row() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given error.
My database columns looks like
Brand | Model Number | Price | Description | Image
A few other things I have tried include
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM item WHERE Model Number = $_GET['ModelNumber']");
Which gave me a syntax error. I've also tried concatenating the $_GET which gives me a mysql_fetch_row() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given error
Which leads me to believe that I'm also going about displaying the results incorrectly. I'm not sure if I need to put it in a where loop like I have with my previous page which displays all items in the database because this is just displaying one.
