I've been teaching myself to program, using forums such as this one to pose questions now and then. I have spent a lot of time looking for the answers to my 2 questions, scouring this forum and stackoverflow. I also spent a long time trying to figure out how to provide a working demo of my errors, when it requires my database, because I notice many answers start with asking for a working demo. Short of creating a semi-secure sub-domain with a backup of my database, I hope putting my code on here will be enough to help you help me. I will create a sub-domain for this reason in the future, but I am pressed for time and can't do it now. If anyone knows a service where I can put up a demo and access a database without me having to write a whole min-website, I'd love to hear about it.
I'm having trouble joining tables. For a short while, I was getting an error (I forget the error now) but my results were returning with the correct number of records, but I couldn't see anything visible in the grid other than the column with "Edit" in place as a hyperlink to open my editing page for each record. I messed with some code, and now it's back to saying it can't find a column, that DOES exist in the database.
Have I provided enough code for one of you hyper-intelligent ACTUAL programmers to see why I get that missing field error and/or why my hyperlink won't work?
I humbly and gratefully ask if anyone can help?
Thanks, Steve
My code is here: http://live.datatables.net/xexowoso/1/ but it doesn't work as a demo because I have no database connection.
