Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers If user input matches file contents Post 302759527 by Yoda on Tuesday 22nd of January 2013 12:31:32 PM

One way to achieve this is using grep command:
Code:
echo "Enter your username:"
read username
if [[ $( grep -c "$username" userlist.txt ) -ne 0 ]]; then
   echo "You may proceed"
else
   echo "You are not authorized"
   exit 1
fi

mssql_result - Get result data

SYNOPSIS
string mssql_result (resource $result, int $row, mixed $field) DESCRIPTION
mssql_result(3) returns the contents of one cell from a MS SQL result set. PARAMETERS
o $result - The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to mssql_query(3). o $row - The row number. o $field - Can be the field's offset, the field's name or the field's table dot field's name (tablename.fieldname). If the column name has been aliased ('select foo as bar from...'), it uses the alias instead of the column name. Note Specifying a numeric offset for the $field argument is much quicker than specifying a fieldname or tablename.fieldname argu- ment. RETURN VALUES
Returns the contents of the specified cell. EXAMPLES
Example #1 mssql_result(3) example <?php // Send a select query to MSSQL $query = mssql_query('SELECT [username] FROM [php].[dbo].[userlist]'); // Check if there were any records if (!mssql_num_rows($query)) { echo 'No records found'; } else { for ($i = 0; $i < mssql_num_rows($query); ++$i) { echo mssql_result($query, $i, 'username'), PHP_EOL; } } // Free the query result mssql_free_result($query); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Kalle Felipe Emil Ross Example #2 Faster alternative to above example <?php // Send a select query to MSSQL $query = mssql_query('SELECT [username] FROM [php].[dbo].[userlist]'); // Check if there were any records if (!mssql_num_rows($query)) { echo 'No records found'; } else { while ($row = mssql_fetch_array($query)) { echo $row['username'], PHP_EOL; } } // Free the query result mssql_free_result($query); ?> NOTES
Note When working on large result sets, you should consider using one of the functions that fetch an entire row (specified below). As these functions return the contents of multiple cells in one function call, they're MUCH quicker than mssql_result(3). SEE ALSO
Recommended high-performance alternatives: mssql_fetch_row(3), mssql_fetch_array(3), mssql_fetch_assoc(3), mssql_fetch_object(3). PHP Documentation Group MSSQL_RESULT(3)
