PHP Easy 'If & SQL' Help

Asked by: davecestria

Hello Experts,

Currently this script is updating orders with incorrect status's due to a simple error.

The code below changes 'OrderStatus' to 'AR' regardless of its original status.

What i need it to do is update it to 'AR' only if the status is NOT 'SD'.

SD = Successfully Done
AR = Allocated to Route

So once i bill the job the status goes to 'SD', but if someone runs this function later on that route, the status's of the orders goes back to 'AR'.

Can someone please help.

function SaveTimeDist($cmdObject) {
		global $MyDB, $json;
 
		$sql = sprintf("SELECT RunDate FROM GlobalRuns WHERE RunDepot = 0 AND RunId=%d", $cmdObject->runid);
		$res = $MyDB->FetchQuery($sql);
		$rec = $MyDB->FetchNextRecord();
 
		$arrtime = split("/", (string) getSafeField($rec, "RunDate", "01/01/1900"));
		$rundate = $arrtime[2] . "-" . $arrtime[1] . "-" . $arrtime[0];
		$arrtime = split("/", $cmdObject->runfinishdate);
		$runfinishdate = $arrtime[2] . "-" . $arrtime[1] . "-" . $arrtime[0];
 
		$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalRuns SET RunEstMiles=%f, RunEstHours=%d, " .
			"RunEstMins=%d, RunFinishDate='%s', RunFinishTime='%s', RunReMap=0 WHERE RunID=%d",
			$cmdObject->totaldist, $cmdObject->totalhours, $cmdObject->totalmins,
			$runfinishdate, $cmdObject->runfinishtime, $cmdObject->runid);
		$res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);
 
		$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderRunID=0, OrderActionDate=NULL, OrderStatus='AD' " .
			"WHERE OrderSubby <> '442 Logistics' AND OrderRunID=%s", $cmdObject->runid);
		$res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);
 
		$arrDrops = $cmdObject->droptimes;
		if (count($arrDrops) > 0) {
			for ($i=0; $i<count($arrDrops); $i++) {
				$arrdate = split(" ", $arrDrops[$i]->orderestarrival);
				$arrtime = split("/", $arrdate[0]);
				$orderestarrival = $arrtime[2] . "-" . $arrtime[1] . "-" . $arrtime[0] . " " . $arrdate[1];
				$arrdate = split(" ", $arrDrops[$i]->orderestdepart);
				$arrtime = split("/", $arrdate[0]);
				$orderestdepart = $arrtime[2] . "-" . $arrtime[1] . "-" . $arrtime[0] . " " . $arrdate[1];
 
				$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderRunID=%d, OrderStatus='AR', " .
					"OrderActionDate='%s', OrderRunDropNo=%d, OrderEstArrival='%s', " .
					"OrderEstDepart='%s' WHERE OrderSubby <> '442 Logistics' AND OrderID=%d",
					$arrDrops[$i]->orderrunid, $rundate,
					$arrDrops[$i]->ordernum,
					$orderestarrival,
					$orderestdepart,
					$arrDrops[$i]->orderid
				);
				$res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);
			}
		}

Put the exclusion          
AND OrderStatus <> 'SD'  
This will stop the query running when OrderStatus is not SD


$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderRunID=%d, OrderStatus='AR', " .
                                        "OrderActionDate='%s', OrderRunDropNo=%d, OrderEstArrival='%s', " .
                                        "OrderEstDepart='%s' WHERE OrderSubby <> '442 Logistics' AND OrderID=%d AND OrderStatus <> 'SD' ",
                                        $arrDrops[$i]->orderrunid, $rundate,
                                        $arrDrops[$i]->ordernum,
                                        $orderestarrival,
                                        $orderestdepart,
                                        $arrDrops[$i]->orderid

I thought of that, but it is actually possible for our operators to add additinal orders to routes after other orders have been marked as SD. We also use the times that are saved for future reference and also the drop sequences.

I need it to save all the information, but if the OrderStatus = 'SD' do not change that field only.

 

by: MunterManPosted on 2009-03-12 at 06:41:05ID: 23868109

Then you will have to do it in two queries. Something like this. Remove

OrderStatus='AR', "

from the original query and add

       $sql = sprintf ("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderStatus='AR' WHERE OrderStatus<>'SD'");
       $res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);

after line 42

Hi MunterMan,

I tried your code but got an error, i changed it to the code below, i get no error... however, the status doesnt change to AR whatever the original status was... basically not changing at all.

Any suggestions?

				$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderRunID=%d, " .
					"OrderActionDate='%s', OrderRunDropNo=%d, OrderEstArrival='%s', " .
					"OrderEstDepart='%s' WHERE OrderSubby <> '442 Logistics' AND OrderID=%d",
					$arrDrops[$i]->orderrunid, $rundate,
					$arrDrops[$i]->ordernum,
					$orderestarrival,
					$orderestdepart,
					$arrDrops[$i]->orderid
				);
				$res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);
				
				//Change Status If Not SD
				$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderStatus='AR' " .
					"WHERE OrderID=%d AND OrderStatus <> 'SD'", 
					$arrDrops[$i]->orderid
				);

You missed
$res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);

after
(See I DO know some php ;)

 

by: MunterManPosted on 2009-03-12 at 07:19:36ID: 23868584

Single quotes around your %d
ie

"WHERE OrderID = '%d' AND OrderStatus <> 'SD' ";

 

by: davecestriaPosted on 2009-03-12 at 07:38:11ID: 23868820

OK, the order status is now saving... but saves as AR regardless of the original status :o(

OrderID can't be '%d' as its a numerical field.

				$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderRunID=%d, " .
					"OrderActionDate='%s', OrderRunDropNo=%d, OrderEstArrival='%s', " .
					"OrderEstDepart='%s' WHERE OrderSubby <> '442 Logistics' AND OrderID=%d",
					$arrDrops[$i]->orderrunid, $rundate,
					$arrDrops[$i]->ordernum,
					$orderestarrival,
					$orderestdepart,
					$arrDrops[$i]->orderid
				);
				$res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);
				
				//Change Status If Not SD
				$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderStatus='AR' WHERE OrderID=%d AND OrderStatus <> 'SD'", 
					$arrDrops[$i]->orderid
				);
				$res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);

My bad about the quotes.
This should not make any difference BUT remove the spaces so it is
Orderstatus<>'SD'

If that does not work echo the query to the screen with

echo "the query is $sql";

just to make sure it is formatting correctly.

 

by: davecestriaPosted on 2009-03-12 at 08:01:18ID: 23869116

Seems ok to me...

 

by: MunterManPosted on 2009-03-12 at 08:15:12ID: 23869307

Thats me stumped.
Select the text from the screen and paste into query browser, or phpadmin, and see what that returns.
And I mean cut and paste, don't type it in.

 

by: davecestriaPosted on 2009-03-12 at 08:49:21ID: 23869821

It does what its supposed to when pasted into the query browser! Strange!

 

by: MunterManPosted on 2009-03-12 at 08:53:54ID: 23869887

Have you got another query in a different function changing it back?
Search all your code for OrderStatus to see if it is being set anywhere else.

 

by: davecestriaPosted on 2009-03-12 at 09:00:21ID: 23869972

I've worked it out... earlier in the function, it sets all the orders to 'AD'

$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderRunID=0, OrderActionDate=NULL, OrderStatus='AD' " .
"WHERE OrderSubby <> '442 Logistics' AND OrderRunID=%s", $cmdObject->runid);
$res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);

Any thoughts how to get round this?

 

by: davecestriaPosted on 2009-03-12 at 09:02:23ID: 23869993

:o)... all sorted...

$sql = sprintf("UPDATE GlobalOrders SET OrderRunID=0, OrderActionDate=NULL, OrderStatus='AD' " .
"WHERE OrderSubby <> '442 Logistics' AND OrderStatus <> 'SD' AND OrderRunID=%s", $cmdObject->runid);
$res = $MyDB->ExecQuery($sql);

Thanks for all your help, works fine now.
