Unknown Column in on clause after Upgrade to V5

Have moved a website running php 4.4.7 and MySql 4.0.27 under linux to another running php 5.2.0 and MySql 5.0.27 also under linux.
I am fairly sure it is something to do with the way the JOIN query needs to be changed to run under MySql V5 but I ain't a programmer and the solutions I've seen are way out of my depth!

The page displays the error: Unknown column 'M.MatchID' in 'on clause' and can be seen at:
http://www.bromsgroverovers.org.uk/stats/matches.php

The section of matches.php which is responsible is attached with the JOIN statement near the top:

Thank You

Check the table in the database named tplss_matches.  Make sure there is a column named MatchID

Yes even I had thought of that :))
The table is called tplss_matches and the database is roverss_stats
Why not just simply it by identifying the column as:

tplss_matches.MatchID instead of the table alias "M".  

sometimes I get tired banging my head looking for the answers and just do it the easy way :)

chrismk:

Also note that it is case sensitive, so make sure your MatchID is exactly cased that way (in your database) and not something like MatchId.

I'll check and try those suggestions!
Remember I inherited this file and it worked fine under V4
Avatar of chrismk

ASKER

Is not using an alias really going to make a difference?
MatchID is correct
It's worth 2 seconds to see if it does.
Avatar of chrismk

ASKER

So why does it work in V4 then?
And how does that affect line 22?
Avatar of chrismk

ASKER

The aliases are used throughout the program and other parts work OK.
Honestly, I'm not sure right now.  Did you try it?  If so, what was the result?
Avatar of chrismk

ASKER

Now I get
Unknown column 'tplss_matches.MatchID' in 'field list'

From what I've read but not understood is that the problem lies in how V5 treats the JOIN statement as opposed to V4
Trying doing joins on the remaining tables....since I don't know the structure of your tables I can't really list it out.

tplss_matches join to some other table
tpless_matchtypes join
tplss_opponents join...

Until all tables are joined by some relationship.  I'm not sure if that's a restriction in 5+ or not..

FROM tplss_matches M, tplss_matchtypes MT, tplss_opponents O
LEFT OUTER JOIN tplss_previews P ON M.MatchID = P.PreviewMatchID ";
Avatar of chrismk

ASKER

I've no idea what you mean!
How about if you list the tables in the query and their columns and I'll see what I can determine the relationships.
Avatar of chrismk

ASKER

Like this?

tplss_matches
  MatchID AS id,
  MatchAdditionalType AS additype,
  MatchGoals AS goals,
  MatchGoalsOpponent AS goals_opponent,
  MatchPenaltyGoals AS penalty_goals,
  MatchPenaltyGoalsOpponent AS penalty_goals_opponent,
  MatchOvertime AS overtime,
  MatchPenaltyShootout AS penalty_shootout,
  MatchDateTime, '%M %Y') AS month,
  MatchPlaceID AS place,
  MatchAttendance AS att,
  MatchPublish AS publish,

tplss_opponents
  OpponentName AS opponent,
  OpponentID AS oppid,

tplss_matchtypes
  MatchTypeName AS typename,

tplss_previews
  PreviewText AS prewtext

FROM tplss_matches M, tplss_matchtypes MT, tplss_opponents O
LEFT OUTER JOIN tplss_previews P ON tplss_matches.MatchID = P.PreviewMatchID ";

I've uploaded the original matches.php file that camewith the program and that returns the same error.

This is the link that mentions the change from previous versions:
