Unlocked Forum Post saying it's locked?


All right, sorry for so many posts. Anyway, I have created an entire file of code; view_topic.php, that is just showing a forum post. I know it is messy and not in mysqli, I will be rewriting the ENTIRE code, once I finish this page. Anyway, on to the problem. When you visit any topic, locked or unclicked, it will ALWAYS say, "Sorry, this post is locked." There are no error messages. I have spent all day trying to find the error in my code, and I have turned to the internet for guidance. Here is the whole code, tell me if you need anything else:

<?php
require_once 'core/init.php';
// get value of id that sent from address bar 
$id=$_GET['id'];
$sql="SELECT * FROM `forum_question` WHERE id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
if (!$result) { // add this check.
    die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
$thisql = "SELECT `locked` FROM `forum_question` WHERE `id`='$id'";
$mythisql = mysql_query($thisql);
$mythisql1 = mysql_fetch_array($mythisql);
if ($mythisql1 === false) { // add this check.
    die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
?>

        if ($user_data['username'] === $rows['name']) {

<?php

$sql2="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name2 WHERE question_id='$id'";
$result2=mysql_query($sql2);
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result2)){ 
?>

// if have no counter value set counter = 1
if(empty($view)){

$result4=mysql_query($sql4);
}

// count more value
$addview=$view+1;
$sql5="update `forum_question` set view='$addview' WHERE id='$id'";
$result5=mysql_query($sql5);
?>
<?php
if (logged_in() === true) {
        if ($mythisql1['locked']===0) {
        ?>

            </tr>
            </table>
        <?php
    } else {
        echo "Sorry, this post is locked.";
    }
}
ob_end_flush();
?>

If anyone can figure out my problem, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.


Solution

  • I can not see you data so it's a guess

    use onyl ==0 not ===0

    if (logged_in() === true) {
            if ($mythisql1['locked']==0) {
            ?>
    

    or if $mythisql1['locked'] is a string

    if (logged_in() === true) {
            if ($mythisql1['locked']=='0') {
            ?>
