I have several query strings which I want to execute at once using "mysqli_multi_query". This works.
When I insert a query again to check each item in joined tables using "mysqli_query" it doesn't return any result nor any error from PHP. When I run the query string manually in phpmyadmin, everything works fine as it should.
Here's my code:
<?php
$connect = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','database');
$strquery = "";
$strquery .= "1st Query";
$strquyer .= "2nd Query";
if($multi = mysqli_multi_query($connect,$strquery)){ // function mysqli_multi_query is working
// From here it doesn't give any response
$qryarray = mysqli_query($connect,
"SELECT purchase_detail_$_SESSION[period].item_code,
purchase_detail_$_SESSION[period].location_code
FROM purchase_detail_$_SESSION[period]
WHERE purchase_detail_$_SESSION[period].purchase_num = '$_POST[purchase_num]'
UNION
SELECT purchase_detail_temp.item_code,
purchase_detail_temp.location_code
FROM purchase_detail_temp
WHERE purchase_detail_temp.purchase_num = '$_POST[purchase_num]' AND purchase_detail_temp.username = '$_SESSION[username]'");
while($array = mysqli_fetch_array($qryarray)){
"Some code to process several item code in table purchase_detail_$_SESSION[period]"
}
}
Is there anything wrong with my code?
I just found the answer in the PHP manual:
WATCH OUT: if you mix
$mysqli->multi_query
and$mysqli->query
, the latter(s) won't be executed!BAD CODE:
$mysqli->multi_query(" Many SQL queries ; "); // OK $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #1 ; ") // not executed! $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #2 ; ") // not executed! $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #3 ; ") // not executed! $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #4 ; ") // not executed!
The only way to do this correctly is:
WORKING CODE:
$mysqli->multi_query(" Many SQL queries ; "); // OK while ($mysqli->next_result()) {;} // flush multi_queries $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #1 ; ") // now executed! $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #2 ; ") // now executed! $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #3 ; ") // now executed! $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #4 ; ") // now executed!
I just insert this code after mysqli_multi_query()
:
while(mysqli_next_result($connect)){;}
