Pervasive 8.6
PHP v4.3.1
Apache v1.3.33
The following syntax works if I hardcode in the string value. However, if I use a variable, I get no results. I've tried using wildcards, i.e. %, both before and after the variable but get the same results. If I replace 'SOME NAME HERE' with '$sup_name', no results come back. I have confirmed that $sup_name has a valid name. Any suggestions?
$sup_name = trim($supervisor);
$dir_query = "SELECT lastname, firstname, ssn FROM soinc.upempl WHERE STATUS <> '3' AND SUPERVSR = 'SOME NAME HERE'
UNION
SELECT lastname, firstname, ssn FROM topllc.upempl WHERE STATUS <> '3' AND SUPERVSR = 'SOME NAME HERE'";
$dir_result = odbc_exec($connect_soinc, $dir_query);
$dir_row = odbc_fetch_row($dir_result);

SELECT lastname, firstname, ssn FROM soinc.upempl WHERE STATUS <> '3' AND SUPERVSR = 'JOHN SMITH' UNION SELECT lastname, firstname, ssn FROM topllc.upempl WHERE STATUS <> '3' AND SUPERVSR = 'JOHN SMITH'
This is exactly the same result as if I were to use the following and gives the same results, nothing.
CODE
Although if I hardcode 'JOHN SMITH' in the origianl sql statement, it returns records...

If the query is the same, you should be getting the same results.

RE: [b]Need correct sql syntax for php script?[/b]
Your script does work but only if I hardcode the string value in the sql statement. If I put the variable in, it doesn't populate the table. I have never encountered this situation so I am scratching my head. Still working on it, I'll post back when/if I get it worked out. Thanks for the help.
