Question

i’m a iphone programmer, and not so great in php and mysql. My question is that i have a online highscore system, which has 3 tables for all my modes in the game. I am trying to select the table based on the input from a GET variable, but it doesn’t work. This is my code in php.

   $typeGame = isset($_GET['type']) ? $_GET['type']  : "";
    $typeGame = mysql_real_escape_string($type);
    if ($typeGame === "Sprint") {
$table = "highscoresSprint";
    }
    else if ($typeGame === "Normal")
    {
    $table = "highscoresNormal";
    }
    else
    {
    $table = "highscoresMarathon"; 
    }

Where typeGame the type of game is which is requested, and $table the table is.

I hope that you can help me, it just won’t work.

Cheers, Joe.

Try:

$typeGame = mysql_real_escape_string($typeGame);

instead of:

$typeGame = mysql_real_escape_string($type);
