I'm having trouble getting the correct results on a list page.
The first query is pulling the name of active authors from the d/b
and linking to a list page that is supposed to return essay titles by
the requested author. The list page however is displaying essay
titles by all authors.
No doubt something is wrong with the where clause in the List page
query. I've tried countless variations on the syntax for Author.ID =
Author.ID without success.
Sorry for so basic a question.
---------------------
author page query =
$query_GetAuthors = "SELECT Distinct Author.Autholr_Name, Author.ID,
Writings.Writings_Author FROM Author, Writings
WHERE Author.Autholr_Name = Writings.Writings_Author and
Author.ID = Author.ID";
$GetAuthors = mysql_query($query_GetAuthors, $connDerbyTrail) or die
(mysql_error());
$row_GetAuthors = mysql_fetch_assoc($GetAuthors);
$totalRows_GetAuthors = mysql_num_rows($GetAuthors);
--------------------
author page link =
<a href="author.php?ID=<?php echo $row_GetAuthors['ID']; ?>"><?php
echo $row_GetAuthors['Autholr_Name']; ?></a>
---------------------
List page query =
$query_GetAuthorList = "SELECT Writings.Writings_Author,
Writings.Writings_Title, DATE_FORMAT(Writings_Date, '%M %D, %Y') as
Writings_Date, Writings.Writings_Text, Writings.ID,
Author.Autholr_Name, Author.ID FROM Writings, Author
WHERE Writings.ID = Writings.ID AND
Author.Autholr_Name = Writings.Writings_Author AND
Author.ID = Author.ID
ORDER BY Writings.Writings_Date desc";
$GetAuthorList = mysql_query($query_GetAuthorList, $connDerbyTrail)
or die(mysql_error());
$row_GetAuthorList = mysql_fetch_assoc($GetAuthorList);
$totalRows_GetAuthorList = mysql_num_rows($GetAuthorList);
