Question

I have a record which has the following data:
id=123 ;
requested_by=Jackson ;
verify_status=NULL ;

i wish the record above as the result for the following query. However, it returns me 0 row.

$sql="SELECT * FROM spr WHERE requested_by IS NOT NULL AND verify_status!='Accept'";

I wanna select all records which the verify_status other than “Accept”.

I wonder is there something wrong with verify_status!=’Accept’? Please help.Thanks.

You need to handle those rows with a NULL verify_status:

$sql="SELECT * FROM spr WHERE requested_by IS NOT NULL 
       AND (verify_status IS NULL OR verify_status != 'Accept'")
