I cant figure out why im having this problem.
i stuck this at the top of my page on its own and it wont update the row to read

Code: [Select]
<?php
mysql_query("UPDATE pm SET read= 'read' WHERE pm_id = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['pm_id'])."'");
?>
I echo $_GET['pm_id']; and that turn out correct and the number matches the pm_id on the row.
everything is lowercase
I typed read manually into the column and echo that and it showed read
also I have this same exact line of code on another script that works fine.

does someone see something im over looking? this is driving me crazy


http://localhost/stargate/users/view.php?pm_id=1376672&inbox=2

Code: [Select]
<?php require("menu.php"); ?>

<html>
<body>
 

<?php
mysql_query("UPDATE pm SET read= 'read' WHERE pm_id = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['pm_id'])."'");

?>

First time poster, and very amateur php coder.  I am trying to delete items that in a list using ajax.  I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Here is a snippet of my javascript...

    $('.delete-item').click(function() {
        var itemID = $(this).data('itemID');
        var clear = 1;
        $.ajax({
            url: 'includes/delete-item.php',
            method: 'POST',
            data: {
                itemid:itemID,
                clear:1
            },
            success: function(data) {
                $('.content').load('includes/lists.php')
            }
        })
    })

 

and here is the relevant php...

$item = $_POST['itemid'];
$clear = $_POST['clear'];
$clearSQL = "DELETE FROM `List_Items` WHERE `item_ID` = $item";
$cleared = mysqli_query($connect, $clearSQL);

Ik probeer een online gehost .xml bestand in een database te plaatsen. Ik heb inmiddels alle foutmeldingen weg weten te werken (door ze op te lossen :-)) maar heb nu een blanco pagina zonder errors en geen data in mijn database   Hier is wat ik tot nu toe heb gedaan.

<?php
// Turn off all error reporting
error_reporting(0);

// Report simple running errors
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);

// Reporting E_NOTICE can be good too (to report uninitialized
// variables or catch variable name misspellings ...)
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);

// Report all errors except E_NOTICE
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// Report all PHP errors (see changelog)
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Report all PHP errors
error_reporting(-1);

// Same as error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);

// specify url of xml file   
$xmlData = file_get_contents(get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/import/external_db.xml');         
// read XML data string
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlData) or die("ERROR: Cannot create SimpleXML object");
// create and execute INSERT queries
foreach ($xml->item as $item) {
$id = $item->id;
$name = mysqli_real_escape_string($item->name);
$code = mysqli_real_escape_string($item->code);
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($item->email);
$jobdescription = mysqli_real_escape_string($item->jobdescription);
$salary = mysqli_real_escape_string($item->salary);
$sql = "INSERT INTO wajv_employees (id, name, code, email, jobdescription, salary) VALUES ('$id', '$name', '$code', '$email', '$jobdescription', '$salary')";
mysqli_query($sql) or die ("ERROR:");
}
 //mysql_close($connection);

?>

Dit is de XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data>
<Item>
	<field name="name">xxx</field>
	<field name="code">101</field>
	<field name="email">xxx@xxx.nl</field>
	<field name="jobdescription">Job Description</field>
	<field name="salary">1000</field>
</Item>
<Item>
	<field name="name">xxx</field>
	<field name="code">102</field>
	<field name="email">xxx@xxx.nl</field>
	<field name="jobdescription">Job Description</field>
	<field name="salary">1000</field>
</Item>
<Item>
	<field name="name">xxx</field>
	<field name="code">103</field>
	<field name="email">xxx@xxx.nl</field>
	<field name="jobdescription">Job Description</field>
	<field name="salary">1000</field>
</Item>
<Item>
	<field name="name">xxx</field>
	<field name="code">104</field>
	<field name="email">xxx@xxx.nl</field>
	<field name="jobdescription">Job Description</field>
	<field name="salary">1000</field>
</Item>
</data>

Hoop dat iemand mijn fout over het hoofd ziet

Hello

I am updating a SQL database - basically adding to an account field as follows...


$sql1 = "select * from member where username = \"$owner\" limit 1  ";
        $result1 = mysql_query($sql1, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
        $row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1);

        $total_commissions = $row1['total_commissions']; $total_commissions = $total_commissions + $_SESSION['cost_per_token']; //add to data
        $balance = $row1['balance']; $balance = $balance + $_SESSION['cost_per_token']; //add to data

      #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
      #Update db
$sql1 = "
         UPDATE member SET total_commissions = \"$total_commissions\", balance = \"$balance\"
         WHERE username=\"$owner\"
         ";
         $result1 = mysql_query($sql1, $conn) or die(mysql_error());



is there a way to add to the data from the UPDATE query? e.g;


$sql1 = "
         UPDATE member SET total_commissions = \"$total_commissions\ + $_SESSION['cost_per_token'] ", balance = \"$balance\ + $_SESSION['cost_per_token']"
         WHERE username=\"$owner\"
         ";
