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);

I am trying to do something that a hell of a lot of people must need to do every day, yet despite this I can not find a single example online, or in books, which makes absolutely no sense!

Anyway, hopefully it will be blindingly obvious to someone what I'm doing wrong, I really hope so as I can't figure it out...

I have a mysl table as follows:

tblvenue

venue_id PRIMARY KEY (int)
venue_name (varchar 50)
station_id (int)

I have a php/html page as follows:

<html>
<head>
<title>Update & Delete Venues</title>
</head>
<body marginheight="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0"
leftmargin="0" style="margin:0;padding:0" bgcolor="#B0E0E6">
<h1></h1>

<form action="venue4.php" method="post">
<table border="1" style="border:solid black" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center" width="33%">Action</td>
<td align="center" width="33%">Venue Name</td>
<td align="center" width="33%">Station Name</td>
</tr>
<?php

$station_name=$_POST['station_name'];

@ $db = new mysqli('XXX', 'XXX', 'XXX', 'XXX');
$query = "call sp_venue()";
$result = $db->query($query);
$num_results = $result->num_rows;

function db_result_to_array($result){
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
$res_array = array();

for ($count=0; $row = $result->fetch_assoc(); $count++) {
$res_array[$count]=$row;
}

return $res_array;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php
   echo "</td>";

   echo "<tr>";
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc())

   echo "<td width='33%'><input type='Textbox' width='100%' name='venue_names' value='" .$row['venue_name']. "'></td>";
   echo "<td width='33%'>"  ;
   echo "<select name='station_id[]' width='100%'>";
$stat_array=get_dataset('localhost', 'root', 'snooker1', 'pool',"call sp_station");

}



   echo "</td>";
   echo "</tr>";
   }
 echo "</table>";

?>


</form>
</body>
</html>

This displays correctly and when checking the appropriate checkbox and clicking the script venue4.php is run:

<?php

//Connects to the database
$db = new mysqli('XXX', 'XXX', 'XXX', 'XXX');

//Checks to see if the update button has been clicked
if (isset($_POST['btnupdate']))
{

//Assigns checkbox array to variable
$aDel = $_POST['cbdelete'];

$aVal = $_POST['cbupdate'];


//Loops through rows to delete selected records
foreach($_POST['cbdelete'] as $delete11)

{

//Deletes record
$query = "delete from tblvenue where venue_id =".$delete11;
$result = $db->query($query);
$num_results = $result->num_rows;
 
}



//Loops through rows to delete selected records
foreach($_POST['cbupdate'] as $update11)

{
//Gets variable


//$Venue = $_POST['venue_names'];

//Updates record
$query = "update tblvenue set venue_name=".$venue." where venue_id =".$update11;
$result = $db->query($query);
$num_results = $result->num_rows;
 
}

//Checks to see if Add button was clicked
} elseif (isset($_POST['btnadd'])) {

//Looks for Venue Name & Station Name
$tbvenue_name=$_POST['tbvenue_name'];
$tbstat_id=$_POST['stat_id'];

//Formats variables
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$tbvenue_name = addslashes($tbvenue_name);
$tbstat_id = addslashes($tbstat_id);
}

//Inserts new record
$query = "call sp_insert_venue('".$tbvenue_name."',".$tbstat_id.")";
$result = $db->query($query);

} elseif (isset($_POST['btnedit'])) {

switch($page) {
default:
include("venue2.php");
 break;
 }

} else {
//If cancel button is clicked, goes straight to switch code below

}

//Closes database connection
$db->close();

//Goes back to Venue page
switch($page) {
default:
include("venue.php");
 break;
 }

echo var_dump($aval);
print_r($aVal);

//$test = $_POST['cbupdate'];


?>

Deleting records works fine.
Inserting records works fine.
If I hard code the data (ie. set venue_name = 'blah blah blah')  for updates, I can get the relevant row id from cbupdate and update the row in question. However I can not get the data from venue2.php (typed into a textbox on the row in question) and submit this to the database to be updated.

This scenario must come up for zillions of developers, but so far no-one has been able to help.

Please can anyone assist...

I am trying to make a rating system and this script is not working.

Code: [Select]
$ratingget = $_REQUEST['star2'];
mysql_select_db($database_news, $news);
$query_ratingsys = "UPDATE news SET votes = votes +1 AND rating = rating +'$ratingget' WHERE id = '$id'";
$ratingsys = mysql_query($query_ratingsys, $news) or die(mysql_error());

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\"
         ";
