Well actually, all 80 fields (not records) that I'm displaying out of the
row (matched by phone number) have to be displayed on the page.
Non-Editable. Just displayed for viewing.
I am certainly using the query to search dbase and display the results. So
technically nothing that I'm doing is causing any problems...
As for the if(), else()... I did figure out a couple of ways to do it... But
I guess the simplest one was the one you & jochem had suggested, which is
pretty much like...
$db = dbase_open("osm.dbf", 0);
if ($db) {
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db);
$found = false;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i);
if ($row['PHONE'] == $thekey) {
echo ³found²;
$found = $thekey;
}
else {
// > echo ³not found²;
// do nothing here
}
}
if (!$found) echo "not found";
}
Basically used a 'flag'... If phone number was matched (found) in the
dbase... Everything gets displayed and nothing happens in the else() ... But
if phone number was not found, flag is raised, i.e., error message
displayed.
Working like a charm as far as I can tell.
Thanks!
