I have a php/mysql site setup but I'm having issues with mysql. What I'm trying to do is post the point results for our fantasy nascar league. I enter the racedate, member, and points. But when I do a select for that race it doens't return any records. This does work by the end of the week (Friday-ish), just not after entering.

I also have a running total of the points, that sql query works fine. It includes all races incuding the last entered race.

The site is located at:
http://tangentmotorsports.dyndns.org...orts/index.php

I have it showing the sql statemets at the moment to help troubleshoot.

Is there something i'm missing? Thanks.

Instead of:

SELECT Crew.Nickname, NascarFantasyPoints.Points FROM Crew INNER JOIN NascarFantasyPoints ON Crew.MemberNumber = NascarFantasyPoints.MemberNumber WHERE NascarFantasyPoints.RaceDate='2002-09-07' ORDER BY NascarFantasyPoints.Points DESC;

Why don't you try:

SELECT c.Nickname, n.Points
FROM Crew c, NascarFantasyPoints n
WHERE c.MemberNumber=n.MemberNumber
AND n.RaceDate='2002-09-07'
ORDER BY n.Points DESC

Same results, alot less typing = alot less chances to make mistakes.

Can you please clarify your question - all of the queries look like they work.. Exactly which section doesn't work?

I'll try changing the query when I get home tonight.

If you visit the site you will see what I'm talking about. What I'm trying to do is display the weekly points in the left hand column. The Sept. 23rd, entry doesn't list the points for that race, even though the entries are in the database.

I know the database entries are in there because a) I entered them and b) they are added to the point totals in the table on the top right.

My question is, why can I not pull those records from the database?

I think you need to add a GROUP BY clause. And you were better off with the INNER JOIN statement, though the current one functions in an identical manner. Can you post some data from the tables? Like two fields from each? I'm much better at this when I can just look at the data and manipulate it.
