I have a problem . I 've been trying for a long time to make an update for php mysql to change the data. but every time I do not manage to make it work with a form. but it works if I only if I put this ($ sql = "UPDATE users SET username = 'value' WHERE id = 10 " ; ) so it only works when I put the value of the id. but I want in an html form to indicate what I want to change and what id goes. but I have tried so long that I do not feel like I so want someone help me. make the same database and same as my records and make the code and test it if it works show me please
my database name : web test my table called : users my records are called : id int ( 11) AUTO_INNCREMENT username , varchar ( 255 ) password , varchar ( 255 ) first_name , varchar ( 255 ) last_name , varchar ( 255 ) email, varchar ( 255 ) Age, int ( 11)
Look, my update.php is like this now <?php $servername = "localhost"; $username = "root"; $password = "....."; $dbname = "webtest"; $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname); if ($conn->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } $sql = "UPDATE users SET password='cotton candy' WHERE id=10"; if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) { echo "Record updated successfully"; } else { echo "Error updating record: " . $conn->error; } $conn->close(); ?> but now i have still have to go into the php file to change the valeu or the id but i looked on site and youtube how to put it in a simple html form but it still does not work. i want it in a html from. I want that when I enter the ID that the data of the user appears and that I can change any valeu separately.
please help me out!!
