MySql problem
We have a php script (running on Red Hat Linux) that finds the username with nmblookup -A, checks the username against a database and returns some values. It worked fine on the WinNT 4 station.
However, when we moved it to Linux, we get the error:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in Authentication.php on line 99
$IP = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$RemoteUsersLogin = GetLoginName($IP);
$RetVal = False;
if ($RemoteUsersLogin) {
$sql = "Select * From Users where DomainLogin='$RemoteUsersL ogin'";
$Result = mysql_query($sql,$MySqlCon nection);
if ($MyRow = mysql_fetch_array($Result) ) {
WORK!
}
The error happens around
$Result = mysql_query($sql,$MySqlCon nection);
I tried manually typing in the sql command in the Linux shell, and it worked, it actually returned values, however when we do it this way nothing good happens.

That isn't very easy to read...
$sql = [double quote]Select * From Users where DomainLogin=[single quote][doublequote].$Remot eUsersLogi n.[double quote][single quote][double quote];
$sql = [double quote]Select * From Users where DomainLogin=[single quote][doublequote].$Remot
Could it be that you won't get a valid Userlogin from GetLoginName()?

RemoteUserLogin is IN FACT the correct username. I echoed it and it came up correctly, no spaces or extra characters or anything like that either. When I echoed the sql statement, it was correct and said "Select * from Users where DomainLogin = 'JHENDRIX'"
We suspect that it's a problem with permissions too. Any comments?

how if you check the $IP. Did it value not 127.0.0.1 ? Make sure the $IP value like you need.
I modify DarinDB script below:
************************** ********** *****
$IP = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$RemoteUsersLogin = GetLoginName($IP);
if ($RemoteUsersLogin) {
$sql = "Select * From Users where DomainLogin='$RemoteUsersL ogin'";
$Result = mysql_query($sql,$MySqlCon nection);
if(empty($Result)){echo mysql_error();} // <--- ADD THIS TO YOUR CODE
else
{
if ($MyRow = mysql_fetch_array($Result) ) {WORK!}
}
************************** ********** *******
**************************
$IP = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$RemoteUsersLogin = GetLoginName($IP);
if ($RemoteUsersLogin) {
$sql = "Select * From Users where DomainLogin='$RemoteUsersL
$Result = mysql_query($sql,$MySqlCon
if(empty($Result)){echo mysql_error();} // <--- ADD THIS TO YOUR CODE
else
{
if ($MyRow = mysql_fetch_array($Result)
}
**************************
Sorry DarinB ... my miss type your name above :)
Or display the $sql if error:
************************** ********** *****
$IP = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$RemoteUsersLogin = GetLoginName($IP);
if ($RemoteUsersLogin) {
$sql = "Select * From Users where DomainLogin='$RemoteUsersL ogin'";
$Result = mysql_query($sql,$MySqlCon nection);
if(empty($Result)){echo mysql_error()."<br>".$sql; } // <--- ADD THIS TO YOUR CODE
else
{
if ($MyRow = mysql_fetch_array($Result) ) {WORK!}
}
************************** ********** *******

if(empty($Result)){echo mysql_error()."<br>".$sql;

If you really got the correct username, the only solution is that it was not found in the database. Browse your database table and check if the username is in the database. For some reason something must have changed. If you need a quick code to browse your table try this:
========================== ====
$sql = "select * from users";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $MySqlConnection);
show($result);
function show($result)
{
if (!$result)
{
return;
}
if (0 == mysql_num_rows($result))
{
echo "nothing to show<br>\n";
return;
}
$numfld = mysql_num_fields($result);
echo "<table bgcolor=\"#CCFFFF\" border=\"1\">";
for ($k = 0; $k < $numfld; $k++)
{
echo "<td>" . mysql_field_name($result, $k) . "</td>";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
while ($items = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
for ($k = 0; $k < $numfld; $k++)
{
echo "<td>" . $items[$k] . " </td>\n";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
}
========================== ====
Another point could be your variable $MySqlConnection. Check if this is a valid database connection. Maybe your mysql_connect() failed in the first place for some reason and therefor you wouldn't get any results from the query. You should consider this, if you won't get a result from my code above.

Hi fajr n,
No problem on the mistype.
BTW, it is not necessary to test for an empty result since mysql_error() will be empty itself if no error occured, thus will not echo anything to the screen.
Heddesheimer,
It would not be a connection problem since PHP is actually sending the query to dB. If it was a connection problem, theravada would be getting back an invalid Link_Resource not an invalid Result Resource. Now, your suggestion may be valid if theravada IS getting an invalid Link Resource error instead.

Linux is case-sensitive. So you should carefully check the Uppercase and lowercase of Tablenames, Fields and data field.

Adding the line:
echo mysql_error();
That showed me that the table name was users not Users, on NT I guess it didn't matter. Thanks!!

$sql = "Select * From Users where DomainLogin='".$RemoteUser
and see what happens...
