I've tested everything and $result returns the correct data every time (0 or 1) but if the address doesn't exist, nothing gets updated. I know I'm missing something, just not sure what it is... Code: [Select] { $result = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM PlayerInfo WHERE Player_Email = '$playeremail'"); IF($result) { IF (mysql_num_rows($result) = 0) { //Insert into database: new e-mail address... } } I've also tested the insert into statement and it works, so that's not the issure. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Hi guys, I have had to make some changes to a database that I updated hockey players stats with. Since doing this I can no longer edit player stats in my admin section of the website. I was wondering if someone could possibly have a look at it for me. It is driving me nuts not being able to fix it. What should happen is: I choose the player from a list of teams to update. Their stats show up on next page in a table for the different competitions they play in (league, cup, play-offs). I could then update the stats and then once pressing the edit button at the bottom, this then updates my SQL database. Can anyone help? <?php if ($stat==1) { // normal players $table = "players"; } else { // snl_players $table ="snl_players"; } if ($act==edit) { $query11 = "SELECT * FROM `$table` WHERE `PlayerID` = '$PlayerID'";

Jo Hi, I am trying to use this code to take all the unique town names from one table and populate a new table with those towns. this code doesnt add town names to the new table and deletes any that are there with blank space - any clues? Code: [Select] mysql_select_db($database_contractors, $contractors); $query_Recordset3 = "SELECT DISTINCT est_town FROM hotels"; $res3 = mysql_query($query_Recordset3, $contractors) or die(mysql_error()); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($res3); echo $num_rows . "<br>"; while( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res3) ) { $town = $row['est_town']; echo $town .

Thanks Lance Good morning: This is the output of my test database table: 2011-05-30 Chevrolet Monte Carol 1975 9000 15000 James Bond's 007-1212 james@bond.com B I am setting the rocord for bond's most active movies. 2011-05-31 Dodge Stratus 2008 5000 7500 James Cagney 555-1818 jc@hollywood.com S This is not going to be the best of time's. Ain't it? Within my table I have two important fields--the record date-created field shown on the left and the (hidden) EXPIRED field--on which the UPDATE function depends. This is my code for (wherein lies the problem) UPDATING the record within my table and setting the EXPIRED field to 'Y' for filtering and easy deletion of the record(s). Code: [Select] <?php // Connect to database. include("connect.php"); // Access the database @mysql_select_db($database,$con) or die( "Unable to select database"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Autos"); //read all records into array while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) //loop through array { if (1 - strcmp(date("Y-m-d"),$row['DateCreated']) == 0) //compare current date with record date and act when result is zero { mysql_query("UPDATE Autos SET Expired = 'Y' WHERE Expired == 'N'"); //if ready to expire then update table EXPIRED field } else { if ($row['BuyerSeller'] == 'B') { echo "Contact buyer below"; } elseif ($row['BuyerSeller'] == 'S') { echo "Contact seller below"; } echo "<br />"; echo $row['DateCreated'] .

" " . $row['Notes']; echo "<br />"; } } mysql_close($con) ?> Lastly, does the mysql_close function with the single parameter $con also close the database? MOD EDIT: code tags added. Hello everybody, I have a script that allows a user to set themselves a target and a script that allows them to edit the target if they decide to. Now everything works as it should until the data from the form (on the edit target page) should be updated in the database. I require that the user must update at least one field. For example they may want to extend the completion date so I would only want to update the completion date field in the database and the fields the user left blank should not be updated in the database. The problem I am having is regardless of if the user enter a value into the field it updates the database so if the user leaves a field blank it updates the database will a blank value. Here is my code: //If the user clicks the update button on a WEIGHT LOSS target run the following code to update the database if(isset($_POST['target_weight_loss_update'])){ $target_weight_loss_update = $_POST['target_weight_loss_update']; $weight_loss_complete_update = $_POST['weight_loss_complete_update']; $weight_loss_comment_update = $_POST['weight_loss_comment_update']; $weight_loss_user_id_update = $_POST['weight_loss_user_id_update']; //Check that at least one value has been entered into the form if(empty($target_weight_loss_update) && empty($weight_loss_complete_update) && empty($weight_loss_comment_update)){ $error_msg = 'Please enter at least one value to update your '.$target_type.' target'; } //Check to see what variables have values in them so we know what fields to update in datebase //If the user has entered a value for their TARGET WEIGHT LOSS update that value in the database if(isset($target_weight_loss_update) || !empty($target_weight_loss_update)){ $target_weight_loss_update_sql = mysql_query("UPDATE user_targets SET target_weight='$target_weight_loss_update' WHERE id='$target_id' LIMIT 1") or die (mysql_error()); //Check that the update was successful if($target_weight_loss_update_sql){ $error_msg = 'Target '.$target_type.' updated successfully'; } else { $error_msg = 'Could not update target. Please try again.'; } } //If the user has entered a value for their TARTGET WEIGHT LOSS DATE update that value in the database if(isset($weight_loss_complete_update) || !empty($weight_loss_complete_update)){ $weight_loss_completion_date_sql = mysql_query("UPDATE user_targets SET target_date='$weight_loss_complete_update' WHERE id='$target_id' LIMIT 1") or die (mysql_error()); //Check that the update was successful if($weight_loss_completion_date_sql){ $error_msg = 'Target '.$target_type.' updated successfully'; } else { $error_msg = 'Could not update target. Please try again.'; } } //If the user has entered a value for their TARGET WEIGHT LOSS COMMENT update that value in the database if(isset($weight_loss_comment_update) || !empty($weight_loss_comment_update)){ $weight_loss_comment_update_sql = mysql_query("UPDATE user_targets SET extra_info='$weight_loss_comment_update' WHERE id='$target_id' LIMIT 1") or die (mysql_error()); //Check that the update was successful if($weight_loss_comment_update_sql){ $error_msg = 'Target '.$target_type.' updated successfully'; } else { $error_msg = 'Could not update target. Please try again.'; } } } So the question I ask is how can I stop entering blank values into the database and only update the information the user enters into the form? Also I was thinking of having one mysql query at the end and using the IF statements to build the query. Thoughts? Thanks for any advice. I'm having problems updating my database, I have 4 fields i want to change. I checked all the { on the page, that's not the problem, I tried to echo information from the database and it displayed my information so that's not the problem, i tried yelling at my computer, that didn't work, i tried to input data into the database with the insert function it worked but is not practical in my situation. I'm probably going to face palm when i find out whats wrong, help please btw, the $_SESSION['usr'] was set in another page and works.

My update page (to update an existing entity in the database) is a normal selection page, which then directs you to the page where you can update or change the data (1st srcipt snippet below), up to here everything works well, but on submit the page must be directed to a page that verifies the data (2nd script snippet below) and if correct, update the database or redirect to the 2nd page to correct the faulty data entry - easy right (well I have been struggling to get this working for 2 days straight.
