PHP - Update Works, But Inserts Another Row

If I am running a query like this:

INSERT INTO `cam_locations` (`id`, `datacenter`, `address1`, `address2`, `city`, `state`, `zip`, `country`, `phone`) VALUES
(1, 'Austin Data Center', '', '', 'Austin', 'Texas', '', 'United States', ''),
(2, 'Sunnyvale Date Center', '', '', 'Sunnvale', 'California', '', 'United States', ''),
(4, 'BoxBorough Data Center', '', '', 'Boston', 'Massachusetts', '', 'United States', '')


It it possible to use mysql_insert_id() and get all the id's inserted? Maybe like an array of them or something? Thanks

Is it possible - and reasonable - to have one Form which allows Users to create a new record (i.e. do an INSERT) and which also allows Users to modify an existing record (i.e. do an UPDATE)?   

When a User registers at my website, not only do they create a record in the "member" table, but one of the required fields is "First Name". 

What that means is that when I allow Users to edit details in their Profile - most of which were not included in registration to streamline the process - I don't have to worry about doing an INSERT, because I already created a "member" record and on the "Edit Details" page the first field is "First Name" so that is a hook so to speak where they can enter more info about themselves like...
Code: [Select]
- Location
- Date of Birth
- Interests
- Bio
and so on...


So here is my problem which I just discovered...

Also in my User Profile, I allow Users to answer several open-ended questions like...
Code: [Select]
1.) Why did you decide to start your own business?

2.) What advice would you share with others on what NOT to do?

The problem is that these questions exist in the "bio_question" table and the answers that I am trying to get from Users will be stored in the "bio_answer" table but no record currently exists?!

So do I need both an "INSERT Answers Form" *and* an "UPDATE Answers Form", or can I combine things into one form?!

Hope that all makes sense?!

how do i  stop multiple duplications in database on my PHP script?



ok i have attached a screenshot of what the database looks like after a few runs of my script. the script is designed to pull api information, input into 1 database and update another user table.
i have made it run as a cron job every 60 minutes.

here is my code:
<?php

I tried inserting a town into my database but only the first word gets inserted?!

eg: Abbots Langley

only Abbots gets inserted?!

Code: [Select]
if(isset($_POST["register"])) {
    // Your code here to handle a successful verification
$RSTOWN = $_POST['rsTown'];

$rsEmail = $_POST['rsEmail'];
$rsMobile = $_POST['rsMobile'];
$rsAge = $_POST['rsAge'];

$to = 'info@mypubspace.com, '.$rsEmail;

//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Welcome '.$RSUSER.' to My Pub Space';

// message
$message = '

hi,
i made my own page, but when i do an insert using mysql, jquery and php, the arabic text does not show properly
it is a comments page.
here is the DB structure
Code: [Select]

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `app_comments` (
  `comment_id` int(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `comment` text NOT NULL,
  `user_id` int(20) NOT NULL,
  `comment_date` date NOT NULL,
  `app_id` int(20) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`comment_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=35 ;
here is the jquery piece that transfers to php code.
Code: [Select]
    function submit_comment(){
        $(".post_comments_button").click(function() {
            var post_comments = $('.post_comments').val();
            var app_id = $('#app_id').val();
            //alert (app_id);
           
            if(confirm('Add Comment?')) {
               
                var string = "task=add_comment&amp;app_id=" + app_id + "&amp;comment="+post_comments;
                            $.ajax({
                url : "appajax.php",
                type : "POST",
                data : string,
                success : function(data) {
                    alert(data);
                    window.location.reload(true);
                   
                }
            });
               
               
               
            }
            /**/
            });
    }and here is the acutal insert code in php
$new_appquery = 'INSERT INTO app_comments (comment, user_id, app_id,comment_date)
                          VALUES ("' . $comment . '",' . $user_id . ',  ' . $app_id . ',NOW());';
                         
                          and the actual problem is, the arabic text shows like this in my application:
                         
                          Quote

بالتوفيق للريال

Hi,

I m doing some work for my self an because of that i been reading a lot arround about PHP, and theres something that i would like to ask a bit of enlightenment. So my question is as the title says about html form's using php to insert data into mysql, i been reading tutorials arround the interwebs and even made afew successful tests, but pretty much all tutorials use 2 files to accomplish this the html file with the form and an insert.php where the actual code is stored so this made me think is this how usually it's done? in over all you will have 1 file for the form, 1 for the insert, 1 for the edit php code and 1 for delete. How do you guys usually do it?

PS: one of the tests i did was making 1 single file with all these using an switch. My interest in making this question is solo to learn how other people do it to see if i m in the right way.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,   Its been a long time since last help request from real professional from here but I'm again in trouble with a much more spectacular plan I'm working on.

For those who are interested in the plan then here it is:
My Idea was to make a new build starting from scratch and make it as dynamical as possible. So my goal is not to make almost anything fixed in the code. I have made a decision to make a one supper large table for multiple different entries so no more joining and no more views for me.! In this help request I'm having trouble with Posting values to a page processing page lets call it record_changer.php The sole purpose of this file is to get form posts and decide what to do. Either update, delete, or insert.

record_changer.php
 

<?php

include '../../config/config.inc.php';

if(is_ajax()){
# Checks if action value exists
  if(isset($_POST["action"]) && !empty($_POST["action"])){
    $action = $_POST["action"];
# Switch case for value of action
    switch($action){
			case "insert": datatable_insert_function();
			break;
			case "update": datatable_update_function();
			break;
			case "delete": datatable_delete_function();
			break;
    }
  }
}

# Function to check if the request is an AJAX request
function is_ajax(){ return isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest'; }

function datatable_insert_function(){
}

function datatable_update_function(){
}

function datatable_delete_function(){
}

?>

The problem.

The problem is that the $insert places two entries to the DB. I cant seem to understand why.?

	# Test _POST values
	$_POST['UserID'] = '2';
	$_POST['WorkID'] = '22';
	$_POST['Status'] = '1';
	$_POST['Code'] = '1';
	$_POST['Title'] = '1';


	$columns = array();
	foreach(array_keys($_POST) as $name){
		# Exclude Action and ID
		if($name == 'Action' || $name == 'ID' || $name == 'submit' ){ continue; }
		$columns[] = $name;
	}

	print_r($columns);

	echo "<br>";

	$data = array_fill_keys($columns, 'NULL');

	print_r($data);

	foreach($data as $key => $value){
		$data[$key] = empty($_POST[$key]) ? 'NULL' : "'".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[$key])."'";
	}

	echo "<br>";

	print_r($data);

	$insert = mysql_query('INSERT INTO datatable (ID, '.implode(', ',$columns).')VALUES (null, '.implode(',',$data).')') or die(mysql_error());

No errors no nothing. Just two entries of correct data. 
PS. Sorry for a lot of prints in the code it is work and idea in the progress. The posts at the moment are fixed in the code so it is easier to refresh and debug.

Please help if you spot the problem. Im really out of ideas. Some fresh eyes might make a difference.

And Please for those who want to say it is a bad idea and why and why and so on.. Move a long.!!! Im not interested in whinging i have a great use for this and just having trouble with the two entries.

Thanks.

Can anyone post a generic update function to update mysql table.
The manual approach:

update $tablename
set $column1='a', $column2='b'
where $id=$value;

what Im basically trying to do is just like a phpmyadmin function... you select rows you want to update with a checkbox and then it takes you to a page where the rows that are clicked are shown in forms so that you can view and edit info in them... and then have 1 submit button to update them all at once.

Good morning. I am looking fo some help with an update script to update all rows in a table.

This is what I have for a form and all looks well. form.php

<?php

// run the query and put the results in an array variable called $result 
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY 'id', 'title', 'text', 'number'"); 


print "<form method='post' action='update.php'> 
<table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='1'><tr> 

<td align='center'><strong>ID</strong></td> 
<td align='center'><strong>Title</strong></td> 
<td align='center'><strong>text</strong></td> 
<td align='center'><strong>Number</strong></td> 
</tr>\n"; 

// start a loop to print all of the courses with their book information 
// the mysql_fetch_array function puts each record into an array. each time it is called, it moves the array counter up until there are no more records left 
while ($Update = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { 


  // start displaying the info; the most important part is to make the name an array (notice bookinfo[$i]) 
  print "<td align='center'><p>{$Update['id']}</p></td>\n"; 
  print "<td align='center'><input type='text' name='title' value='{$Update['title']}' /></td>"; 

  print "<td align='center'><input type='text' size='40' name='text' value='{$Update['text']}' /></td>\n"; 
  print "<td align='center'><input type='text' size='40' name='number' value='{$Update['number']}' /></td>\n"; 
print "</tr>\n"; 
// add 1 to the count, close the loop, close the form, and the mysql connection 

} 
print "<tr> 
<td colspan='4' align='center'><input type='submit' value='submit' />"; 
print "</td> 
</tr> 
</table> 
</td> 
</tr> 
</form> 
</table>"; 

print "</tr>\n"; 
?><br /><br />

 

My question is. How do I update this info into the database with the proper info. ie. Update.php?

I'm new to PHP and I was able to figure out how to populate data from my database into my text fields. I am trying to add the update information to the same php file; however, I am now receiving errors within the data I was able to populate, 

Notice: Undefined variable: stmt in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cust_App\update.php on line 47

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cust_App\update.php on line 47

and errors with the Update statement 

Notice: Undefined variable: stmtupdate in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cust_App\update.php on line 96

Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cust_App\update.php on line 96

Notice: Undefined variable: customerID in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cust_App\update.php on line 96

I had defined the customerID variable above in the code, but it isn't being captured from here. 

I tried setting up this query like the one which gathered the data, but I'm off by a little bit. I would like the option to be able to update all fields.

Any help is appreciated. I'm trying to learn as I may get asked to update other forms in the future. (new boss asks a lot)

As the title says I need help with multiple update system.. Can't really get it to work at all >.<
Here's some code:

$selectt = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM exercises WHERE user='" . $_SESSION["user"] . "' AND exname='" . $_GET["edit"] . "'");
echo '<form method="POST" action="exercises.php?edited">';
echo '<div id="newexx">';
while($raw = mysql_fetch_array($selectt))
{
echo '<input type="text" name="up[' . $raw["id"] . ']" value="' . $raw["swe"] . '">';
echo '<input type="text" name="up1[' . $raw["id"] . ']" value="' . $raw["eng"] . '"><br>';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="id[' . $raw["id"] . ']">';
} 
echo '</div>';
echo '<input type="submit" value="Update Exercise">';
echo '</form>';
if(isset($_GET["edited"]))
{
$swe = $_POST["up"];
$eng = $_POST["up1"];
$id = $_POST["id"];
foreach($id as $value => $index)
{
$update = "UPDATE exercises SET swe='".$swe."', eng='".$eng."' WHERE id='".$index."'";
mysql_query($update);
}

Would be thankful for reply!

Hi Guys,

I want my UPDATE function from the code below to only update those fields that are NOT empty - if they are empty on submit then do not update or change any values from that field. I know that sounds odd, but with my file fields, when I submit to change something else at a later date it will overwrite the photo, download1,2 & 3 values and as a result I loose my files from the mysql table.

Cheers, S
