  • 0

I created the following script to query a table and return the first 30 results. The query returns 30 results, but they do not have any text or information. Why would this be?

The table stores Vietnamese characters. The database is mysql4.

Here’s the page: http://saomaidanang.com/recentposts.php

Here’s the code:

<?php
  header( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' );
 //CONNECTION INFO
 $dbms = 'mysql'; 
 $dbhost = 'xxxxx';
 $dbname = 'xxxxxxx';
 $dbuser = 'xxxxxxx';
 $dbpasswd = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';    
 $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpasswd ) or die('Error connecting to mysql');
 mysql_select_db($dbname , $conn);

 //QUERY
 $result = mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");
 $cmd = 'SELECT * FROM `phpbb_posts_text` ORDER BY `phpbb_posts_text`.`post_subject` DESC LIMIT 0, 30 '; 
 $result = mysql_query($cmd);
?>

<title>recent posts</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
 <p>

<?php 
 //DISPLAY
 while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result))
 {
  echo 'post subject:';
  echo(utf8_encode($myrow ['post_subject']));
  echo 'post text:';
  echo(utf8_encode($myrow ['post_text']));
 }
?>
 </p>
</body>

    Try using mysql_fetch_assoc() instead of mysql_fetch_row()

    • The former returns an array with each
      result column stored in an array
      offset, starting at offset 0.
    • The later returns an associative
      array of strings where the column as
      used as keys.

    And in your program you are using the result as an associative array:

    $myrow ['post_subject']
