Fallback-Message if select fails

QuestionsFallback-Message if select fails
Mario asked 8 years ago

If a select, fails for instance if something is missing, I get message like

———————
Couldn't execute query. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1 OFFSET 0' at line 1 – Select * from table where coupon =
———————

Is it possible to adapt the erormessage or at least load the site and echo the message on the site? Is there a szenario for this? In this case I would like to write for instance: "Please add the Parameter coupon in your url like "?coupon=123". Wha is the best szenario to have a fallback message for failing selects?

Hi,

You can put this condition on page using php code:

$msg = '';
if (empty($_GET["coupon"]))
{
$msg = "Please add the Parameter coupon in your url like ?coupon=123";
$coupon = "1234567";
}
else
$coupon =intval( $_GET["coupon"]);

and in query:

->select_command = Select * from table where coupon = $coupon;

and on page, where you want to display message:

<?php
if (!empty($msg)) echo $msg;
