PHP - Using Session Id And Username To Update Database?
I'm helping out a friend who owns a boarding kennel. She would like an online site where she or a client can register, add their dogs to their profile and other info.
I know CSS and HTML but have very, very little experience in PHP, I figured it would be fun to give this a try and learn something new. So far I've managed to create a register and log in area, and now I'm trying to make it possible for someone to add a dog breed from a drop down list to their "page" after they've logged in. I cannot get the data to insert into that specific user's table. I'm trying to use the session id and session username as the variable, and this is where the problem comes in. If I type the userid and the username out then the data will update fine...but that's not practical. I need it to know which user is logged in and update them accordingly. Anyway, what I'm typing here makes sense in my head but I've been staring at this computer all day and it's possible I'm way out in left field, so here's the code to see for yourself. (chances are it's something totally obvious....or I have stuff in there that doesn't belong, I haven't a clue.) Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help me out! The form <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['userid']=$userid;?> <html><body> <h4></h4> <form action="process.php" method="post"> <select name="breed" id="breed"> <option value="collie">Collie</option> <option value="aussie">Aussie</option> </select> <select name="sex"> <option>Dog</option> <option>Bitch</option> </select> <input type="submit" /> </form> </body></html> The php for that form <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['userid']=$userid; $_SESSION['Username']=$username;?> <html><body> <?php $host="localhost"; // Host name $username="silver_phptest"; // Mysql username $password="bowser"; // Mysql password $db_name="silver_phptestingbase"; // Database name $tbl_name="users"; // Table name // Connect to server and select database. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); // Get values from form $breed=$_POST['breed']; // Insert data into mysql mysql_query("UPDATE users SET dogs = '$breed' WHERE userID = '$userid'"); // close connection mysql_close(); ?> </body></html> Similar Tutorials
Using Inline Php; <h1><font Color="000088">the Username <?php '.$username.' ?> Already Exists";</h1>
Came a long way with the code since Friday and have another issue.
I can echo the session username on my pages but not into the insert command to the database. I need this so when a user logs in only their data will be seen. Here is the code pages.
Here is the page code this does echo the username
Logged in as <?php echo "$username"; ?>

I'm create an application where I have member, admin, and superadmin
What I'm try to do is superadmin update member to admin, so they can have more privilege. The name of the table is member where I have member, admin account, and i have row call 'rank'. Rank 1 is for member they have access basic stuff and rank 2 they have more privilege. Want the superadmin to type the name of the member and change to rank 2.
This is what happening, if I dont put nothing on the text boxes, it said "Please check if you have put the right information." , if i put member and the rank i want to change is says ""User has upgrade to admin", but than when i check my database the member is still a member when i wanted to change to admin.
Can anyone see where I'm going home, or what should I change.
<form> </form> <form action='<?php htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data '> Username: <input class="fontsize" name='user' type='text'/> Rank: <input class="fontsize" name='rank' type='text' /> <br><br> <input class="button" type='submit' name='get' value='Upgrade' /> </form> </h2> <?php if(isset($_POST['get'])) { $username1 = $_POST['user']; $sql_user = mysqli_real_escape_string ($connection, $username1); $rank = $_POST['rank']; $rank = mysqli_real_escape_string ($connection, $rank); $query1 = mysqli_query($connection, "SELECT rank FROM member WHERE username='$sql_user'"); if ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query1)) { if ($rank == '1') { $data1 = mysqli_query($connection, "UPDATE member SET rank= '1' WHERE username='sql_user'") or die (mysql_error($connection)); echo "User has downgrade to member"; } elseif ($rank == '2') { $data2 = mysqli_query($connection, "UPDATE member SET rank= '2' WHERE username ='sql_user'") or die (mysql_error($connection)); echo "User has upgrade to admin"; } else { echo "Please check if you have put the right information."; } } } ?> Hello. I am just beginning to teach myself the basics of php. I am learning from books and video tutorials etc. I have come across a problem that I just can't work out, I'm sure it is very simple. Two files, movie1.php and moviesite.php, movie1.php looks like this: Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['username'] = "Joe12345"; $_SESSION['authuser'] = 1; ?> <html> <head> <title>Find My Movie!</title> </head> <body> <?php $myfavmovie = urlencode("The Life of Brian"); echo "<a href='moviesite.php?favmovie=$myfavmovie'>"; echo "click here to see information about my favourite movie!"; echo "</a>" ?> </body> </html> OK? You see the '$_SESSION['username'] = "Joe12345";', this is my specific problem. This should be echoed into the next page, moviesite.php which you can see below: Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); //check to see if the user has logged in with a valid password if ($_SESSION['authuser'] != 0) { echo "sorry, but you don't have permission to view this page"; exit(); } ?> <html> <head> <title>My Movie Site - <?php echo $_REQUEST['favmovie']; ?></title> </head> <body> <?php echo "Welcome to our site, "; echo $_SESSION['username']; echo "! <br>"; echo "My favourite movie is "; echo $_REQUEST['favmovie']; echo "<br>"; $movierate = 5; echo "My movie rating for this movie is "; echo $movierate; ?> </body> </html> OK? 'echo $_SESSION['username'];' does not echo the username. Everything else seems to be ok. This is an example I have been working on from the book 'Beginning PHP, MySQL and Apache Web Development'. I hope someone can help. The username 'Joe12345' is not carried to the next page. It is just blank. Many Thanks for all and any assistance people can give me.

The usersname is located in the database under users. Each page is protected and you must login to access it. Here is the code for that

Alright, I've been assigned a project at work. I did not develop the application and the individual who did used CodeIgnited framework and mysql as the db.
Here's the problem, I'm not given much OT to do this and in our meeting the best way to proceed was to replicate the database for different parts of the organization. Basically we are a subsidiary and have been using an application that other groups within the organization want to use. Usually I would reconfigure the db schema and add org ids and in the user table add the appropriate organization to go to. However, they are not giving me enough time to do that.
So what I'm thinking is to just create a copy of the database we use (just the structure) and create a new database.
What I want to know is how to use mysql to check to see if a user exists in one database and if they don't then to go on to the next database. I understand this is a very sloppy way to do it, but it's the way we are moving forward.
I found the code to connect to the db in CodeIgnitor... how can I connect to a database, check to see if the user exists, then close that db connection and try the next database?
/** * Select the database * * @access private called by the base class * @return resource */ function db_select() { return @mysql_select_db($this->database, $this->conn_id); }Thanks in advance. Im trying to create a website where users login, and then when they add a new entry to the database there name is put as the author. This is how my tables are set up. One table is named job and has the columns id, jobtext, jobdate, and authorid. Another table is called author. This table contains the columns id, username, password, and name. Authorid from the job table matches with id from the author table. When a user logins in this code is used to register the name...session_start(); $_SESSION['myusername'] = $_POST['myusername']; $_SESSION['mypassword'] = $_POST['mypassword']; header("location: index.php"); } else { echo "Wrong Username or Password"; } This is the form users use to add a new entry... if (isset($_GET['add'])) { $pagetitle = 'New Job'; $action = 'addform'; $text = ''; $authorid = ''; $id = ''; $button = 'Add job'; include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .

Hi, i have had some help from these forums building a shopping cart system and i can add items to cart, empty cart but i need some help on how to update quantities. Here is the code i use to add items Code: [Select] $pid = $_POST['prodid']; $q = $_POST['qty']; if(array_key_exists($pid, $_SESSION['cart'])) { $_SESSION['cart'][$pid]=$_SESSION['cart'][$pid]+$q; } ELSE { $_SESSION['cart'][$pid]=$q; } Im displaying my items in a table with a text field for quantities which can be changed then click update. i see there is 2 things i need to do, first is to somehow create a loop for all the items in my table, i have no clue where to start on that, and then in that loop i have my update command. im assuming the code to update would be something like Code: [Select] $_SESSION['cart'][$pid]=$_SESSION['cart'][$pid][$qty] where $qty is the value of the text box in my table. Any help would be appreciated. im trying to make a breadcrumbs feature on my site. this feature is driven using the session variables. My problem here is that.. i just wondering what make the session variables display its own value (not expected value).. this variable name got no similar across the whole site. i just wanna hear what are the possible causes why this happen... thanks ISSUE. A User enters information into a form. If the 'username' is already taken, a 'message' in Red and with larger font-size will be returned, for example, "The username $username already exists." If the username is 'mattd' then the message should say, "The username mattd already exists." Within my php application, I have included 'inline html'. Here is part of the code: .... if (mysql_num_rows($query_run)==1) { // it will never = more than one because only //one user will or will not exist ?> <html> </body> <h1><font color="#FF0066">The username <?php echo $username; ?>already exists.</h1> </body> </html> <?php }else{ //start the registration process $query = "INSERT INTO `Names` VALUES .... 1. At one point I did get this: "The username mattd already exists." 2. But now I only get "The username already exists." I am not retrieving the $username variable. This screenshot is found he http://imgur.com/lIwLZ1G thanks. While we're on the subject, is there a way to ensure that the first letter of a name is captalized, and the rest lowercase? Or is this best handled later on, when the name is being used and called from the DB. PS: some of us comment are code as to WHAT we are doing because we're just not that good yet, and we need to explain it to ourselves. Hi A part of my site allows users to send messages to other users. When a member is logged on, they see a panel on the left with a link to the messages page. If there is a message they have not seen, it looks like messages(1). As this panel is on every page, the message(1) is displayed on every page. My question is a general one which i've always wondered about - I determine whether all messages have been read or not from the database. Should I go once to the database when user logs on, and save this value to a session, or should i go to the database each time the member goes to a new page.... The reason I ask is because I am saving a lot of data in the session already so where do I draw the line between saving stuff to a session and just repeatedly going to the database.. Hello, I have a form where individuals can update there personal information that is already stored in a database, i.e name, address, phone number etc. There are several fields they can update. Right now it sends an email to the owner that an individual has updated their records, and sends all the fields that are in the table. Is it possible to let the owner be notified by email which individual field was updated? Example their phone number has changed they make the update and the owner gets an e-mail with just that field update. I hope I explained myself properly. Thank you in advance.
