Check record in database does exist ith php mysqli

Question

I have some strange problem:

I have a database DAYS and USER_DAYS... DAYS:

USER_DAYS:

I have a function to check does today date exist in database USER_DAYS with user_id and if yes then I fetch data from DAYS table: (dbhanler.php)

public function getDay($user_id) {
        $stmt = $this->conn->prepare("SELECT d.id, d.day, d.status, d.created_at, d.dayDate, d.startTime, d.endTime from days d, user_days ud WHERE d.dayDate = ? AND ud.dayDate = d.dayDate AND ud.user_id = ?");
        $t=time();
        $dayDate = date("Y-m-d",$t);
        $stmt->bind_param("si", $dayDate, $user_id);
        if ($stmt->execute()) {
            $res = array();
            $stmt->bind_result($id, $day, $status, $created_at, $dayDate, $startTime, $endTime);

            $stmt->fetch();
            $res["id"] = $id;
            $res["day"] = $day;
            $res["status"] = $status;
            $res["created_at"] = $created_at;
            $res["dayDate"] = $dayDate;
            $res["startTime"] = $startTime;
            $res["endTime"] = $endTime;
            $stmt->close();
            return $res;
        } else {
            return NULL;
        }
    }

index.php

 $app->get('/days', 'authenticate', function() {
                global $user_id;
                $response = array();
                $db = new DbHandler();

                $result = $db->getDay($user_id);

                if ($result != NULL) {
                    $response["error"] = false;
                    $response["id"] = $result["id"];
                    $response["day"] = $result["day"];
                    $response["status"] = $result["status"];
                    $response["createdAt"] = $result["created_at"];
                    $response["dayDate"] = $result["dayDate"];
                    $response["startTime"] = $result["startTime"];
                    $response["endTime"] = $result["endTime"];

                    echoRespnse(200, $response);
                } else {
                    $response["error"] = true;
                    $response["message"] = "The requested resource doesn't exists";
                    echoRespnse(404, $response);
                }
            });

I think that I solve problem but something is very strange: When I dont have with user_id records in USER_DAYS then all work fine and give me emtpy results but if I have user_id records then give me record of wrong user, give me record of last user record submited

What can be problem here? MYSQLi QUERY?

Answer 1

The mistake is in the connection of the tables. Joining only on the day is an to m connection, but you need a unique field to get a 1 to n connection.

For example: USER_DAYS

1. Data from user A, 2014-12-08
2. Data from user B, 2014-12-08
3. Data from user C, 2014-12-08
4. Data from user A, 2014-12-09

If you execute getDate(ID of user B) You will get the entries 1, 2 and 3. The function will expect only one row, so it takes the first (from user A)

Join by the day id instead of the day

WHERE d.dayDate = ? AND ud.day_id = d.id AND ud.user_id = ?
