Re: Super bizarre changing variable!!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is indeed the complete code, I did not cut anything out for brevity, which is why this appears to be so impossible.

eAccelerator is activated, could something be corrupt? Could a corrupt index cause this?

In table1, `referer` is int(12).
In table2, `data` is text
In table2, `friend_id` is mediumint(9) - which I see is a problem in some cases, $referer can (rarely) be 10 digits long, so I just changed it to int(12)

When $referer is being set it's probably a string type, but the contents are ALWAYS a valid integer.

Any ideas?????

Hi Brian,

I'm running the following code:

$query3 = "DELETE FROM table1 WHERE referer=$referer ORDER BY
creation LIMIT $numtodelete";
$result3 = mysql_query($query3);
$string = "$total found, $n kept, $numtodelete extras removed
($query3)";
$x = mysql_query("insert into table2 (friend_id,data) values
($referer,'$string')");

I created the table2 log file just so I could see what the hell is
going on. Here is a typical entry in table2:

FRIEND_ID = 8388607

DATA = 908 found, 100 kept, 808 extras removed (DELETE FROM table1
WHERE referer=69833818 ORDER BY creation LIMIT 808)

Notice that the value in FRIEND_ID, which was set with $referer, is
DIFFERENT than the value of $referer shown in DATA! How the flying
f*&^%k is this possible??? I've been tearing my hair out for 3 days
over this.

Almost all records show 8388607 in that FRIEND_ID field. Once in a
blue moon, a different value is shown, which does match the value in
DATA. So it's displaying this erroneous behavior 95% of the time but
not always.

What data type do the referer / friend_id columns have in MySQL? int?
tinyint? etc

Also show all of your code - there is no way that the value changes
between lines 1 and 4 in the code above, which means you've missed
something out (probably for post brevitys sake)

Cheers,

Rich
