Can anyone see where I have erred? No errors of any kind. Here's the form:
<form name="news" action="updateNews.php" method="post">
<p>Click "Clear" Button to remove old events.</p>
<input type="submit" id='delete' name="delete" value='Clear' /><br /><br /><br />
<input type="text" name="dateof" /> Enter date of Event (abbreviate month)<br />
<input type="text" name="event" /> Enter name of Event<br />
<input type="text" name="title" /> Enter time of Event and misc. info.<br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="add" value="Add Event" /><br /><br />
</form>
Here's my php:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
//Hook up
include('db.php');
//Delete old news
if(isset($_POST['delete'])){
$query = "TRUNCATE TABLE `news` ";
$result = mysqli_query($link,$query)
or die('Error deleting table.');
}
if(isset($_POST['add'])){
//Get the goods
$dateof = $_POST['dateof'];
$event = $_POST['event'];
$title = $_POST['title'];
//Insert the goods
$query = "INSERT INTO news (dateof, event, title)
VALUES('$dateof', '$event', '$title')";
$result = mysqli_query($link, $query) or die('Update Failed' .mysqli_error($link));
}
db.php is just my connection file:
<?php
/* Database Information - Required!! */
/* -- Configure the Variables Below --*/
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbusername = '';
$database = '';
$dbpasswd = '';
/* Let's get connected*/
$link = mysqli_connect("$dbhost", "$dbusername", "$dbpasswd", "$database");
/* Now check that we're connected */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
