help with changing php's datatype
Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2009 2:50 pm
Hello everyone,
I downloaded this nice script for managing students' grades and did some modification and it's working perfectly except for the fact that the "Students ID' field accepts only figures, however, the students' IDs contain both figures and letters. For example, it accepts student IDs such as "1234" and not "MS1234". Now, I know that this has something to do with the datatype but the code is so intertwined that I can't even pinpoint where the datatype for the students' ID column was declared. Please I desperately heed help here.
