$week_leave = mysql_query("select count(id),leave.id from `leave`, `users` where leave.backgroundColor = 'Green' and leave.id=(select U_id from `users` where users.username='$_SESSION['username']')");
Gives the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING)
I know the problem lies in the sub query. Any suggestions ?
try this you have to set the data vetween curly braces {$_SESSION['username']}
$week_leave = mysql_query("select count(id),leave.id from `leave`, `users` where leave.backgroundColor = 'Green' and leave.id=(select U_id from `users` where users.username='{$_SESSION['username']}')");
The error is here:
$_SESSION['username']
the two single quotes conflict with the other two outside. You can do as @Osama Jetawe suggets or you can just assign this value to a variable like this:
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
and then use '$username'
in your query
You can use this below answer as problem lies at $_SESSION variable
$week_leave = mysql_query("select count(id),leave.id from `leave`, `users` where leave.backgroundColor = 'Green' and leave.id=(select U_id from `users` where users.username='".$_SESSION['username']."')");
try this
$week_leave = mysql_query("select count(id),leave.id from `leave`, `users` where leave.backgroundColor = 'Green' and leave.id=(select U_id from `users` where users.username='".$_SESSION['username']."')");
