I'm trying to output a simple list with all the usernames registered on a single e-mail address in our database. The SQL queries necessary for it shouldn't be too hard, but apparently they are too hard for me - here's my issue:
$sql = "SELECT emailaddress FROM ".db_prefix("accounts")." where acctid = '$mailid'";
$mailadress = db_query($sql);
That one's working just fine - I'm declaring mailid in a earlier part of the code, and with that query I can output the e-mail adress (for debugging) of the currently logged in user without any problems. Fine so far.
$sql = "SELECT name FROM ".db_prefix("accounts")." where emailadress ='$mailadress'";
$charakterliste = db_query($sql);
Here's the issue: $charakterliste seems to stay empty, even though I'm pretty sure my syntax is correct. var_dump() and print_r() don't return anything that would point towards the array/variable containing something.
I've double checked and executed a similar query directly in the SQL database and found no problems there - all the fields I'm calling do exist, and the DB connection is fine too. I guess something is wrong in my syntax for the second SQL query? I'd want to list all the names saved in the $charakterliste afterwards with a foreach loop, but as of now there doesn't seem to be anything to list saved in there, although there should be.
Thanks in advance!
Are you sure the column 'emailadress' exist?
Maybe it's 'emailaddress' with two 'd'?
According to your first line of code it should be 'emailaddress'.
$sql = "SELECT name FROM ".db_prefix("accounts")." where emailaddress ='$mailadress'";
$charakterliste = db_query($sql);
