Hi guys, I got this form so a user can submit a care guide for different species of animal. However the script runs, but the query to SET the species information does not run and the success message is not displayed.  Here is what I have got

?>

This is pretty much the same as my changepassword.php page but the query is different and this seems to have prevented the script from running correctly.  

 

I have tried different variations on INSERT to add the data to the database but nothing is working,

 

Also an online PHP checker says there is no error in the code.

 

Please help! :)

At first glance I don't see nothing wrong. Are you sure you're calling your code inside the else block? So, do an echo command as in the example below, and tell me what you get:

else
    {
    	echo 'call'; exit;
        require( 'database.php' );

Make sure that the url of the action attribute of your submitting form points to this file. I'm guessing you're not submitting the data to this script at all.

 

 

INSERT queries do not have a WHERE clause

 

I completely missed that :tease-01:

Hi Jazzman, here is the form

require( 'database.php' );

$results = $con->query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = '$username';");
while($row = $results->fetch_array()) {
$username = $row['username'];
$email = $row['email'];

//MySqli Select Query

?>

Then, open up "submitCareGuideCheck.php " file and add the following line as in the example below, submit the form with all data you want to be submitted and post out the result:

<?php

session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

echo '<pre>'.print_r($_POST,true).'</pre>'; exit;  // this line

require( 'database.php' );

EDIT: Make sure this is the right file with insertion data!

Move my code down on your script:

<?php

session_start();

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors', '1');

require( 'database.php' );

include('includes/overall/header.php');

$username = $_SESSION['loggedinuser'];

if(isset($_POST['username'], $_POST['email'], $_POST['fishtype'], $_POST['speciesCommon'], $_POST['speciesScientific'], $_POST['speciesSynonym'], $_POST['origin'], $_POST['size'], $_POST['environment'], $_POST['waterChemistry'], $_POST['temperature'], $_POST['temperature1'], $_POST['feeding'], $_POST['sexing'], $_POST['compatability'], $_POST['temperament'], $_POST['breeding'], $_POST['comments'], $_POST['reward'])) {
   
echo '<pre>'.print_r($_POST,true).'</pre>'; // here 

No need to include your database credentials twice, only once on the top of the file is enough!

some/most of points that were made in one of your earlier threads were to reduce the amount of code you are writing to accomplish any task. it's likely that your giant isset() statement contains a typo and that whole block of code is being skipped over.

 

to repeat one of the recommendations previously given, to detect if your form has been submitted, you only need to test one of the fields you know will always exist in the form using an isset() statement. because isset() won't produce any php errors when you have made a typo in an variable name, php won't help you find mis-typed variables in your current code.

 

edit: and i just proof-read your code and you do have a typo in one of the variables in the isset() statement. i'll let you find it (hint: a programming editor with a spell checker would be of some use.)

 

PLEASE make use of the recommendations made. they will reduce the amount of code needed, which in turn reduces the chance of errors, makes it easier to write your code because you don't have to spend as much time copy/pasting/updating things, makes it easier to see what your code actually is and makes it easier to debug your code.
