Answer 1

I had exactly the same problem and found the solution eventually. My query runs like:

$result = mysqli_query($link,'SELECT * FROM clients WHERE ' . $sql_where . ' AND ' . $sql_where2 . ' ORDER BY acconame ASC ');

In order to display the sql command, all I had to do was to create a variable ($resultstring) with the exact same content as my query and then echo it, like this:

It works!
