Question

I’m trying to get a boolean which if equals 1, an image is inserted.

I viewed a tutorial, and made this as a starter to test if it works:

AND IF(IF_DRAFT_BEER = '1', 5, 2) = 1

I tried to say that if IF_DRAFT_BEER = 1, then set the value to 5, otherwise 2. If that worked, I would try implementing the images.

I printed it this way:

$row['IF_DRAFT_BEER']

However after inserting the and if clause, none of the rows are showing anymore.

Anyone know why this happens? Thanks! 🙂

Answer 1

Well, your line;

AND IF(IF_DRAFT_BEER = '1', 5, 2) = 1

will basically give the result 5 or 2, then compare it to 1. Since neither 5 or 2 is equal to 1, the comparison will never be true and the query won’t return any rows.

I’m not quite sure why you’d have this kind of calculation in a where clause though, I suspect you’ll want to move your calculation up to the select and actually get it as a result, a’la;

SELECT IF(IF_DRAFT_BEER = '1', 5, 2) AS IF_DRAFT_BEER

That way it will show up in your result $row.
