Question

Am pulling out my hairs trying to figure this out…

<?php
include('connection.php');

$template = $_GET['templateID'];
$campaign = $_GET['campaignID'];

// Grab everything in the campaign manager
$cm = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM campaign_manager WHERE campaign ='$campaign'") or die(mysql_error());

while($temp = mysql_fetch_array($cm)){
    //Checks if Template is already attached
    if($temp['paragraph'] == $template){
        echo 'Template is already attached - <a href="http://general:8888/templates">Back</a>';
    } else {
        if($temp['paragraph'] == '0' || $temp['paragraph'] == null ){
            mysql_query("UPDATE campaign_manager SET paragraph = '$template' WHERE campaign = '$campaign'") or die(mysql_error());
        }
        else {
            $geo = $temp['geo'];
            $list = $temp['list'];
            mysql_query("INSERT INTO campaign_manager(campaign,paragraph,geo,list) VALUES('$campaign','$template','$geo','$list')");
        }
    }
} 
?>

My first IF is checking for a DUP. If it isn’t it, it then checks if the field is either 0 or NULL. If THAT CHECK outs THEN it should add a new record into the ‘campaign manager’. Although currently its displaying the echo of the first IF & its adding the duplicate record into the campaign manager. Why & HOW is this happening?

Wow, so after rethinking my code over the weekend. I came up with this…

<?php
include('connection.php');

$template = $_GET['templateID'];
$campaign = $_GET['campaignID'];

// Grab everything in the campaign manager
$cm = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM campaign_manager WHERE campaign ='$campaign'") or die(mysql_error());
$match = 0;

while($temp = mysql_fetch_array($cm)){
    if ($temp['paragraph'] == $template){
        echo 'Template is already attached - <a href="http://general:8888/templates">Back</a>';
        $match = 1;
    }
}

$geo = $temp['geo'];
$list = $temp['list'];

if ($match == 0){
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO campaign_manager(campaign,paragraph,geo,list) VALUES('$campaign','$template','$geo','$list')");
    header('Location: http://general:8888/templates/');
}

?>

It works finally.
