Stricter Error Checking?

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

 



Hello,

I just spent way, way to much time trying to debug code due to a misnamed element.  Here is a simplified example of the problem I dealt with.


	$test = "SELECT * FROM `Materials` WHERE `Part_Number` = '125664'";
	$result = mysql_query($test,$handle);
	if(!$result)
	{
		die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
	}
	$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
	echo $row['Number'];

After retyping the code 3 or 4 times over the course of the morning, I finally found where the problem was.  The problem is that the database field is called 'Part_Number', not 'Number'.  The field 'Number' does not exist in the database.  I am very surprised that I didn't even get a warning that there might be a problem with the statement.  All I saw is that nothing was being returned via the echo command.

There really must be a stricter error checking that is turned on somewhere, isn't there?


Thanks for your help.

Tim
