with it no good

Hi guys,

I have 4 sql queries command, but for some reason, with the last one, it doesn't work, but when i take it out, it worksl ike charm... can somebody help me?

  	 <? $lilet_db = mysql_query("SELECT title,threadid,firstpostid,forumid FROM localhost_vbnews.thread WHERE forumid IN $channels AND attach <>0 AND title !='$et[title]' ORDER BY dateline DESC limit 30") or die(mysql_error());  
  while($lilet = mysql_fetch_array($lilet_db)) { 

       $lilpost_db = mysql_query("select pagetext from localhost_vbnews.post WHERE postid=$lilet[firstpostid]") or die(mysql_error());
	   while($lilpost = mysql_fetch_array($lilpost_db)) {
  			$liletatt_db = mysql_query("SELECT attachmentid,userid FROM localhost_vbnews.attachment WHERE postid=$lilet[firstpostid] ORDER BY dateline DESC limit 1") or die(mysql_error());  
  while($liletatt = mysql_fetch_array($liletatt_db)) { 
    		$position_db = mysql_query("SELECT pagetext FROM localhost_vbnews.post WHERE threadid=$lilet[threadid] AND title='position' ORDER BY dateline DESC limit 1") or die(mysql_error());
			while($position = mysql_fetch_array($position_db)) { 
				
	 $post = substr($lilpost[pagetext], 0, 98);
  $title = substr($lilet[title], 0, 25);
	echo "	<div class=\"box\"><a href=\"page.php?et=$lilet[firstpostid]&ch=$lilet[forumid]&desc=$liletatt[attachmentid]\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\">
				<img src=\"/show_image.php?filename=./images/attach/$liletatt[userid]/$liletatt[attachmentid].attach&pos=$pos&width=243&height=98\" width=\"243\" height=\"98\" alt=\"$lilpost[pagetext]\" /></a>
				<h5>$title</h5>
				<p>$post</p>
				<a href=\"page.php?et=\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><img src=\"layout/more.png\" alt=\"$lilet[title]\" width=\"39\" height=\"9\" /></a>
			</div>";
} }  }

This is the query that throws it off... i'm not sure why

The thing for sure is that, not all threads has replies with title "position"... could this be the problem?

Here is the one that I'm having a hard time on

    		$position_db = mysql_query("SELECT pagetext FROM localhost_vbnews.post WHERE threadid=$lilet[threadid] AND title='position' ORDER BY dateline DESC limit 1") or die(mysql_error());
			while($position = mysql_fetch_array($position_db)) {

Thank you in advance.

Well the query will only return threads that have the exact title 'position', vB adds "RE:" to replies by default so you may only return a small number of entries.

I don't really know what you are trying to achieve but you could just remove the AND title='postion'

[nhatrang]

well, I wanted one query to pull out a thread with the title exactly like position...

It might be due to language, but 'exactly' and 'like' are 2 words that contradict.

If you want the title to be exactly 'position':
[sql]..WHERE title = 'postition'...[/sql]
If you want the title to contain the word 'position':
[sql]...WHERE title LIKE '%position%'[/sql]
