Numbers Vs. Characters in MySQL Database
Hi,
I have a productid field in a MySQL database. When I use a number, say 1, the below code works fine:
$prod_info = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE productid = ".$_GET['product']));
When I use a character, say a, this line of code gets the error message:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/.....html/product.php on line 15
The reason I am changing productid from numbers to characters is for search engines. The URL will be www.site.co.uk/productname rather than www.site.co.uk/123
Hope this is a simple problem to fix,
Matt.
