Question

Afternoon all,

A very quick question… a friend has set up a form for me using mysql_query. Since he wrote this, I have added an extra column into the database, which I want to pull through into the form.

However I can’t seem to get this extra column to appear (labelled Currency). The reason I need it is the query below will pulls back a value and the £ symbol. Because I want to display not only £, but also € prices, I need this extra column to pull through (obviously I will have to remove the £ from the echo below too).

I’ve tried adding the extra column (Currency) to the code, e.g. “SELECT Room, Currency, Price FROM Spa_Upgrades

but this hasn’t worked.

The code is:

 <?php 
            if (isset($id))
                {
                $query2 = mysql_query("SELECT Room, Price FROM Spa_Upgrades WHERE Spa_Upgrades.Spa_Id = '".$id."' AND Spa_Upgrades.Id = '".$pack."' order by Spa_Upgrades.Order");
                $rows = mysql_num_rows($query2);
                if($rows==0) {echo "disabled='disabled'/>";} 
                else
                    {
                    echo "/>";
                    echo "<option value='Default'>Please Select</option>";
                    for($i=0; $i<$rows; $i++)
                        {
                        $result2 = mysql_fetch_array($query2);
                        echo "<option value='".$result2[0]."&nbsp;&pound;".$result2[1]."pp'>$result2[0]&nbsp;&pound;$result2[1]pp</option>";
                        }
                    }
                }

Hugely grateful if someone can solve this!

Thanks,

Alter the query as follows:

SELECT Room, Price, Currency FROM Spa_Upgrades ...

Alter the line beginning echo inside the for loop: replace £ with $result2[2] wherever it appears. (Or if the Currency column doesn’t contain the HTML entity for the currency symbol, then replace £ with appropriate code to obtain the symbol from the Currency column entry.)
