Hello all!
I recently started a project with the members module of Couch cms, everything is going perfect except one thing.

When a user logins I want to use his member_name as a value inside an query to filter the data from a table of an external database. The problem is that whatever I tried it always seems to be wrong.

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

  <cms:form 
        masterpage=k_member_template 
        mode='edit'
        page_id=k_member_id
        enctype="multipart/form-data"
        method='post'
        anchor='0'
        >
        
        <cms:if k_success >
            <cms:db_persist_form />

            <cms:set_flash name='success_msg' value='1' />
            <cms:redirect k_page_link /> 
        </cms:if>  
        
        <cms:if k_error >
            <font color='red'><cms:each k_error ><cms:show item /><br /></cms:each></font>
        </cms:if>
        

        
<table class="tg" style="width:100%">
  <tr>
    <th class="tg-yw41" style="text-align:left;border-top:none"><strong>ΟΝΟΜΑ ΜΕΛΟΥΣ:</strong></th>
    <th class="tg-yw4l" style="border-top:none"><cms:pages masterpage='members/index.php' page_name=k_member_name>
     <cms:show member_firstname /></cms:pages></span></th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="tg-yw4l"> <strong>ΕΠΩΝΥΜΟ ΜΕΛΟΥΣ:</strong></td>
    <td class="tg-yw4l"><cms:pages masterpage='members/index.php' page_name=k_member_name>
     <cms:show member_lastname /></cms:pages></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="tg-yw4l"> <strong>ΑΡΙΘΜΟΣ ΚΑΡΤΑΣ:</strong></td>
    <td class="tg-yw4l"><cms:pages masterpage='members/index.php' page_name=k_member_name>
     <cms:show k_member_name /><br>
</cms:pages>
</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="tg-yw4l"> <strong>ΑΡΙΘΜΟΣ ΠΟΝΤΩΝ:</strong></td>
    <td class="tg-yw4l">

<?php 
$servername = "***********";
$username = "**********";
$password = "********";
$dbname = "********";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} 

$cid='<cms:show k_member_name />';

$sql = "SELECT points FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CardId =". $cid. "";
echo $sql;


$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // output data of each row
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo $row["points"];
    }
} else {
    echo "ERROR";
}
$conn->close();
?></td>
  </tr>
</table>


 <!--   <cms:if k_member_logged_in >
    <cms:show k_member_name />
    </cms:if>   -->

    
    </cms:form>   

Now if I echo the value of $cid it returns 123456789.
And if I manually code

Code: Select all

$sql = "SELECT points FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CardId =123456789";

I get the expected result.
But if I code

Code: Select all

$sql = "SELECT points FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CardId =". $cid. "";

it doesnt return the proper result.

Here's the output of var_dump($cid) : string(26) "123456789"

Any help would be great!I am stuck for about a week!!

Hi,

Please try replacing the native PHP tags (i.e. <?php and ?>) with their Couch equivalents
(i.e. <cms:php> and </cms:php>).

Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot! That was the problem!
Congrats for your amazing support
