Passing parameters to SQL

Passing parameters to SQL 1 Year, 10 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi,

Is there a worked example of passing parameters to a SQL query? I want to display only the first few columns on the first page and then when the user clicks on a link, it opens a new page with just the individual record showing (with all the other fields).

What I really need to know is the format for the SQL in the sub page and the link on the main page (and how it is set up).

Thanks
Steve

Hello,

If you want to use request parameters in SQL query, it will look like:

Code:


SELECT
 id, title
FROM
 #__content
WHERE id = {$REQUEST:VAR_NAME}



Just replace VAR_NAME with variable name. For example if want to pass ID via article_id variable, it will look like:

Code:


SELECT
 id, title
FROM
 #__content
WHERE id = {$REQUEST:article_id}

ARI Soft
