I am trying to update the content of my website which is all stored in a MySQL database.

Currently on the page I am displaying all the data stored in the database using MySQL SELECT and a while loop. Using JavaScript when the text is clicked the element changes into a text box allowing the text to be edited.

What I want to do is be able to change the data in the text box and then store it into the database updating the current data.

Code: [Select]
<form method="post" action="editindex.php">
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM home ORDER BY id ASC";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo "<span id=\"itm1\" onclick=\"exchange(this);\">" . $row['title'] . "</span><input ondblclick=\"exchange(this);\" id=\"itm1b\" class=\"replace\" type=\"text\ name=\"title\">";?>
<input type="submit" value="Save" name="submit">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php  $row['id'] ?>"
</form>
<?php 
if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) {
$update = "UPDATE home SET title=".$_POST['title']." WHERE id=".$_POST['id']."";
mysql_query($update);
}
?>

I have more text being output from the while loop below but I just want to get it working on the title first.

Any ideas of why the update is not working?
 

I have the following code that when used seperately work. How would I write an if..else statement that will make them work together? The following code give me an Parse Error, syntax error  unexpected T_string. The following if my code I have tried,

Code: [Select]

if (SELECT tournament FROM weekly_picks WHERE tournament = '$tournament')
mysql_query("UPDATE weekly_picks SET player = '$golfer' WHERE tournament = '$tournament' AND user = '$usr'");
else
mysql_query("INSERT INTO weekly_picks (t_id, tournament, user, player, backup, timestamp) VALUES ('$t_id', '$tournament', '$usr', '$golfer', '$backup', '$time')",$link) or die('Error, insert query failed');


I also know that values are being stored in the variables.

I have lost my record when I run the code below, all fields are empty...

Code: [Select]
<a href='edit.php?id={$info['person_id']}'><font color='#00AE0A'>Edit User</font> </a>
Code: [Select]
$sql = "SELECT * FROM person WHERE person_id='{$_REQUEST['id']}' ";

$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
  echo("<p>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</p>");
  exit();
}

if ($row = @mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

print "

<form action='<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>' method=\"post\">

<table>


<tr>
<td><strong>Name</strong></td>
<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"fname\" size=\"60\" value=\"$row[fname]\"></td>

} else {
    echo("There has been an error" . mysql_error());
}

?>

<?php


   $control =  mysql_query(" UPDATE person SET fname='{$_REQUEST['fname']}' , lname='{$_REQUEST['lname']}' , email='{$_REQUEST['email']}', 
               committee_no='{$_REQUEST['committee_no']}'
               WHERE person_id='{$_REQUEST['id']}'");

if($control)
{
header("Location:".$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]."");
}


?>

Code: [Select]
if(isset($_POST['npassword']) and ($_POST['cpassword'])){
$npassword = $_POST['npassword'];
$cpassword = $_POST['cpassword'];
$username = $_SESSION['SESS_login'];
if($npassword==$cpassword){
$password = md5($npassword);
$lol = mysql_query("UPDATE `members` SET  `passwd` = '$password' WHERE  `login`= '$username';");
echo"Password Changed!";
}
}

It echos password changed, but its not updating the password. If I run it in phpmyadmin it works fine... So i'm really stuck.

So there is this code I have here :  http://pastebin.com/rwcN7FeJ and I need to find a way to incorporate this code that user Barand gave me Code: [Select]
$referName = mysql_real_escape_string($gateway_data['refer']);
$query = "UPDATE users a
        INNER JOIN users b ON a.refer = b.nick
        SET a.refer = '', b.balance = b.balance + 5
        WHERE b.refer = '$referName'";
mysql_query($query);
But I havent the damnedest how to do that.  If anyone could help me at all, it would be appreciated.

Hey, I have this code, and it's ment to change the name / content of a page that is being put onto a page.
Both of the include files are fine as it works for other actions, but this one just returns the error.


<?php
include "../includes/mysql_connect.php";
include "../includes/info_files.php";

if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
mysql_query("UPDATE `pages` SET name='$_POST[name]' AND SET content='$_POST[content]' AND SET catt='$_POST[catt]' AND SET page='$_POST[page]' WHERE id='$_POST[id]'") or die('Edit failed');
echo "Page made.<br /><br />";
}else{

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pages WHERE id='$_GET[page]'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
echo '<form action="" method="post">';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $row['id'] . '" /><br />';
echo '<strong>Edit: ' . $row['name'] . '</strong><br />';
echo 'Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="' . $row['name'] . '" /><br />';
echo 'Category: <input type="text" name="catt" value="' . $row['catt'] . '" /><br />';
echo 'Page: <input type="text" name="page" value="' . $row['page'] . '" /><br />';
echo '<textarea rows="25" cols="60" name="content">' . $row['content'] . '</textarea><br />';
echo '<input type="submit" name="submitted" value="Edit" />';
echo '</form>';
  }
}
?>

Any help would be great.

So i have this following code that doesn't work

Hi,   Im having a problem and I can't seem to figure it out or find anything on the net.   If I use the following code the script successfully updates every row in the table:

mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE Ads SET Ads_LocalArea='Stroud'");

However if I try updating the table using the WHERE clause in any of the combinations below nothing happens.

mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE Ads SET Ads_LocalArea='Stroud' WHERE Ads_ID=$DBROWID");

----------------------------------------------------------------------   My Script:

mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO Ads (Ads_ID, Ads_AID, Ads_Title)
VALUES ('', '$Polished_AdRef', '$Polished_AdTitle')");

$DBROWID = mysqli_insert_id($con);

mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE Ads SET Ads_AID='Stroud' WHERE Ads_ID=$DBROWID");

// TRIED THESE TOO
// mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE Ads SET Ads_AID='Stroud' WHERE Ads_ID='$DBROWID'");
// mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE Ads SET Ads_AID='Stroud' WHERE Ads_ID='5'");

Does any one know where I am going wrong?

how can i make this code to insert a single, multiple and update rows in the database. The code only insert new rows in the database.

Code: [Select]

if (($handle = fopen('inventorylist.csv', "r")) !== FALSE) {
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 100000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
        $num = count($data);
     

                  $sql="INSERT into inventory(itemNumber,itemDesc,quantityHand,category,Whse) values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]')";

                    mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

       
    }
    fclose($handle);

        }

However the dropdown menu in the form doesn't work? It returns an update success message but the value of 'level' was not changed in the database.

Am I missing something?

I will provide the code. Im working on my script which updates a row of data in a mysql DB, the update command doesnt have all of the fields.(I don't know if this is failing it or not?)

The code for the form is.
<?php
include("../scripts/dbconnect.php");
mysql_select_db("rdb")or die("cannot select DB");


$sql="SELECT * FROM wo WHERE won='1'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">

<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>


<?php
mysql_close();
?>

The page the action goes to is below.
<?php
include("../scripts/dbconnect.php");
mysql_select_db("rdb")or die("cannot select DB");

$sql="UPDATE wo SET won='$_POST[won]', cname='$_POST[cname]', cemail='$_POST[cemail]'
WHERE won = '$_POST[won]'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

if($result){
echo "Successful";
}

else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>

I am fairly new to PHP, any help would be greatly appreciated. I will list all of the Mysql table's fields below.

won,wopword,status,dws,problem,dfin,cost,service,coupon,lmao1,lmao2,cname,caddy,cemail,cphone,compinfo,techname,comments,storeloc,clerk,solution

Hi I have the file "pback.php" which displays a mysql table.
One row allows me to update the data.
If I press "update it leads me to update.php, but there I just get white fields instead of the data from the id requested.
If I type anything in the field and press confirm it opens update_ac but just says error.
What do I do wrong?
Thanks!

Good Day    Please could someone be so gracious as to help me with the following problem.   I am wanting to update a MYSQL database from a Firebird database.    I have tested connecting to both databases individually which works fine, it is just when I put the code together it does not work.   Below is the code

//Firstly I connect to the MYSQL database to see what needs to updated
      
 mysql_connect("localhost", "database", "password") or die(mysql_error());
 mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error());

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.          

I am trying to create a script that takes information from a form and puts in a database.
In the action page, I decided to post a URL that shows the user there story that they posted. This is where I ran into the problem. . I realized that for the optional fields I could not just use a seperate insert statement, because this creates a new row. So I desided to use update statments, but this STILL does not work, they values or simply not getting inserted.  Here is the code:
Code: [Select]
<?php

if(isset($_POST['hidden']))
{

die('SPAM BOT!');
}
if (
!isset($_POST['title']) 
&& !isset($_POST['summary'])
&& !isset($_POST['story'])
&& !isset($_POST['rating'])
&& !isset($_POST['cat'])
)
{
die("<div id='impor'>You forgot to enter one(or more) of the following fields <br /> 
1. Title <br />
2. Summary <br />
3. Story<br />
 </div>
 ");

}


mysqlConnect();


//take data from form an\ put them in variable
$title_form = bb(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title'])); //required 
$summ_form = bb(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['summary']));// required
$story_form = bb(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['story'])); 
$cat_form = $_POST['cat'];
$rating_form = $_POST['rating'];
$username = $_SESSION['user'];
// Make the other var into a list of links




mysql_query("
INSERT INTO story_info (title, sum, story, user, cat, rating)
VALUES('$title_form','$summ_form', '$story_form,', '$username', '$cat_form','$rating_form')
");
if(isset($_POST['notes']))
{
$notes_form = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['notes']);
$notes_final = bb($notes_form);
mysql_query("

SET notes = '$notes_final'
WHERE story = '$story_form' AND user = '$username' AND sum = '$summ_form' AND title = '$title_form'
");
}
//put other in array. Use while loop to put link code. Then but it back into one non array variable
if(isset($_POST['u_id']))
