Well I got the loop to work with a typical character array, but not with an std::string.

Do you have the code?

[MrWillsauce]

http://pastebin.com/g62KPCMp

The strings in question are szY and szEndRead. The code is unintelligible and unfinished, and probably wouldn't work right if it were finished.

[alexandertnt]

try replacing all the (char[] == char[]) and the (char[] != char[]) with (!strcmp(char[], char[])) and (strcmp(char[], char[])), since you cannot compare the values of a character array like that

For example, replace

Code: [Select]

while (szY != szEndRead)

with

Code: [Select]

while (strcmp(szY, szEndRead))

and

Code: [Select]

(szY == "armoring")

becomes

Code: [Select]

(!strcmp(szY, "armoring"))

strcmp will return zero of they are equal (because C loves being obtuse), so "!strcmp()" returns true if they are the same value.

Rather then using character arrays,  I would advise using std::string wherever possible (instead of what I said above), using std::getline to get a line from a ifstream. std::string actually works like you would expect.

Argh, PHP. It's a simple rest client and ONE table in SQL. This should not be so difficult, but instead it just 500s. Surrounding the entire thing in a try catch block doesn't work, 500. Putting echos everywhere reveals it dies whenever it tries to access a member function of a mysqli object. Any member function, like errno. Of any mysqli object I new up.

And this is just the GET that returns an image, not even the Create/Update/Delete side of things!

Even if the host/db name/user/password is incorrect, I should still get an error >.<

I could literally do this in five minutes in C#.

[MrWillsauce]

When I do this http://pastebin.com/HHYxn40x (changing Y and EndRead into std::strings and using strmcmp for my conditions), the compiler tells me that I cannot assign strY with a value from my ifstream and that I cannot use the strings as conditions, whether I use strcmp or ==. It says that "no conversion function from std::string and const char exists."

Excuse me, as I make a tortured metaphor.

You asked how to eat meat with a spoon. It was suggested that you try using a fork, or to eat soup instead. So you began eating soup with a fork.

If you use std::string, then use == or !=.
If you use char arrays, then use strcmp;

Do not use std::string with strcmp, and do not use == and != with char arrays.

[MrWillsauce]

But == isn't working with the std::string either. Oh well I guess I'll go back to using character arrays and use strcmp. Thank you.

That's odd.

And by odd I mean something is terribly broken and you shouldn't just ignore it.

EDIT:

Code: [Select]

    string strY;
    cin >> strY;
    if (strY == "string") cout << "Success!" << endl;This for example doesn't work?

[MrWillsauce]

Well I can't see what. It's all there in the pastebin, so you could take a look there and see if you see anything. == won't work when comparing an std::string to a string in the file (such as "armoring") or in (strY != strEndRead). The compiler just says "no operator '==' or '!=' matches these operands."

"Armoring" doesn't work because you are using strcmp.
And the declaration of strEndRead isn't shown in the pastebin.

[MrWillsauce]

"Armoring" was a poor example, but it doesn't work for any of the streams that use ==. strEndRead is declared in the parenthesis of the function that the loop resides in.

Streams? You mean strings?

I didn't mean its location. Is strEndRead a char array?

What does the server's error log say?  Might help give a clue.

Otherwise I'm suspecting the MySQLi library might be disabled or compiled in from a different, incompatible, version of PHP somehow.  I would expect that to crash immediately when the service starts, or at the very least when you create a new instance of any of the objects.

Just for fun, maybe you could try using PDO instead?  I don't think MySQLi is deprecated yet like the old MySQL functions are, but PDO is definitely the preferred way to do this now.

yes I meant strings and no it's an std::string.
