列串联返回“ Null” Mysql-PHP

Question

I can able to concatenate the values using the following code

$sqlselect = "UPDATE billing_details SET SRF = CONCAT(Year, ID)";

but it returns the result value as "NULL". Kindly help me to solve this issue

Table Structure:

Year *Varchar(5)*

ID *Int(10)*

SRF *Varchar(100)*

Result Table:

Year Id SRF

A 1 NULL

A 2 NULL

A 3 NULL

Answer 1

MySql CONCAT function is return NULL if any argument value if null value, see blow

SELECT COCAT(NULL, 1) 

OR

SELECT COCAT(1, NULL)

>NULL

If you want to keep other values while any argument value have null then use IFNULL() function to exclude NULL values

In your query

$sqlselect = "UPDATE billing_details SET SRF = CONCAT(IFNULL(Year, ''), IFNULL(ID, ''))";
