Hi guys.
So this is what I'm trying to do.
I have a form on my website,
the user puts in a value and php inserts that value into the database in one field called "name". But I am also trying to use that same value and insert it another field at the same time but just adding "name".".txt". but in a field called "file" (both in the same table of course)
Thank you guys so much in advance! I am new and I really appreciate any help! Thank you!
Here is my field html:
<form action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" method="post" name="form1" id="form1">
<input type="text" name="name" value="" size="32" />
<input type="submit" value="Do it." />
<input type="hidden" name="numofuser" value="50" />
<input type="hidden" name="file" value="<?php echo "chatroom-".$name.".txt" ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1" />
</form>
And I this the PHP portion:
<?php
session_start();
require_once("dbcon.php");
if (checkVar($_SESSION['userid'])):
$getRooms = "SELECT *
FROM chat_rooms";
$roomResults = mysql_query($getRooms);
?>
<?php require_once('Connections/dbcon.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
}
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "long":
case "int":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "double":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "date":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "defined":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
break;
}
return $theValue;
}
}
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO chat_rooms (name, numofuser, `file`) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['name'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['numofuser'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['file'], "text"));
mysql_select_db($database_dbcon, $dbcon);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $dbcon) or die(mysql_error());
$insertGoTo = "chatrooms.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
}
mysql_select_db($database_dbcon, $dbcon);
$query_talkabout = "SELECT * FROM chat_rooms";
$talkabout = mysql_query($query_talkabout, $dbcon) or die(mysql_error());
$row_talkabout = mysql_fetch_assoc($talkabout);
$totalRows_talkabout = mysql_num_rows($talkabout);
?>
