I hope this is the correct forum for PHP questions related to sql server.
I would like to pull data for all the cities in my county from the census API into a table in sql server. Right now, it inserts a record, but it is blank, that is the first issue.
Other question, the variable:
$homepage
returns all the places in my county, will I have to iterate through these returned values to insert into the table ? Do I have to direct to a file first to read them in ?
Finally, I was trying to use a WHERE clause in my
$sql
variable such as: WHERE $place LIKE '42425'";, but it throws the following error:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 42000 [SQLSTATE] => 42000 [1] => 156 [code] => 156 [2] => [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'. [message] => [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'. ) )
I don't see where the issue is.
PHP is not my primary language, but I cobbled the following code together based on what I could find. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !
