any ideas?

[nabeels786]

hey
im working on a download thingy for my site, and people can submit downloads, and mirrors for that download

this is the code for the submit download, i have 2 tables, i "downloads" which stores the main download stuff, then "mirrors" where the urls are stored. in mirrors theres a column called "did", which holds the download id from "downloads", which that number is autoincrement.

im trying to get that number after i insert it into the DB, and it isn't working..any ideas?

thanks

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "fragblast", "");
            mysql_select_db("fragblast",$db);
            
            $review=str_replace("\n","<br>",$describ);
                
            $sql = "INSERT INTO download (title, auth_id, auth_name, describ, size, cat) VALUES ('$title', '$userid', '$username', '$describ', '$size', '$cat')";
            $result = mysql_query($sql);


            $sql="SELECT * FROM download WHERE title='$title' AND auth_id='$userid' AND auth_name='$username' AND describ='$describ' AND size='$size' AND cat='$cat')";
            $result=mysql_query($sql);

            while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //LINE 49
                echo $row['id'];    //debug
                $id=$row['id'];

                $sql = "INSERT INTO mirrors (did,site,name) VALUES ('$id', '$mirrorname', '$url')";
                $result = mysql_query($sql);

                $sql = "UPDATE stats SET count = count + 1 WHERE name='$cat'";
                $result= mysql_query($sql);
            } 

the error is:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\downloads\add.php on line 49

for one, what is line 49, and 2 you can't str_replace for those. you have to use ereg_replace

[nabeels786]

line 49 is
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //LINE 49


and str_replace works, ive used it before. i can take that line out anyway

$sql="SELECT * FROM download WHERE title='$title' AND auth_id='$userid' AND auth_name='$username' AND describ='$describ' AND size='$size' AND cat='$cat')";

Take out that )

Try this:

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "fragblast", "");
            mysql_select_db("fragblast",$db);
            
            $review=str_replace("\n","<br>",$describ);
                
            $sql = "INSERT INTO download (title, auth_id, auth_name, describ, size, cat) VALUES ('$title', '$userid', '$username', '$describ', '$size', '$cat')";
            $result = mysql_query($sql);

            $selectId = mysql_insert_id($result);

            $sql="SELECT * FROM download WHERE id='$selectId')";
            $result=mysql_query($sql);

            while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //LINE 49
                echo $row['id'];    //debug
                $id=$row['id'];

                $sql = "INSERT INTO mirrors (did,site,name) VALUES ('$id', '$mirrorname', '$url')";
                $result = mysql_query($sql);

                $sql = "UPDATE stats SET count = count + 1 WHERE name='$cat'";
                $result= mysql_query($sql);
            }

wouldn't it be better to double check your queries:

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "fragblast", "");
            mysql_select_db("fragblast",$db);
            
            $review=str_replace("\n","<br>",$describ);
                
            $sql = "INSERT INTO download (title, auth_id, auth_name, describ, size, cat) VALUES ('$title', '$userid', '$username', '$describ', '$size', '$cat')";
if(mysql_query($sql))
{
            $selectId = mysql_insert_id($result);

            $sql="SELECT * FROM download WHERE id='$selectId')";
            $result=mysql_query($sql);

            while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //LINE 49
                echo $row['id'];    //debug
                $id=$row['id'];

                $sql = "INSERT INTO mirrors (did,site,name) VALUES ('$id', '$mirrorname', '$url')";
                $result = mysql_query($sql);

                $sql = "UPDATE stats SET count = count + 1 WHERE name='$cat'";
                $result= mysql_query($sql);
            }
}
