i'm trying to add data into specific user in database. the one who login in the form is admin and the admin will add information to the user's database.. here's the php code <?php session_start(); if ($_SESSION['UserId'] == "") { echo "Please Login first"; } else { echo "<h1> Appliances's adding list</h1>"; echo "<table>"; echo "<form action ='addappliancesprocess.php' method = 'POST'>"; echo "<tr> <td>Appliances Name: <input type='text' name='appliancesname'></td> </tr>"; echo "<tr> <td>Port Number: <select name = 'port' value='port'> <option value 'RB0'>RB0</option> <option value 'RB1'>RB1</option> <option value 'RB2'>RB2</option> <option value 'RB3'>RB3</option> <option value 'RB4'>RB4</option> <option value 'RB5'>RB5</option> <option value 'RB6'>RB6</option> <option value 'RB7'>RB7</option> </select> </tr>"; echo "<tr> <td>Insert characters on: <input type='text' name='charon'></td> </tr>"; echo "<tr> <td>Insert characters off: <input type='text' name='charoff'></td> </tr>"; echo "<tr> <td colspan=2 align= 'right'><br> <INPUT Type='button' VALUE='Back' onClick='history.go(- 1);return true;'> <input type='submit' name='update' value='Submit'> </td> </tr>"; echo "</table>"; } ?> and here is the process <?php session_start(); $appliancesname=$_POST['appliancesname']; $port=$_POST['port']; $username=$_REQUEST['username']; $charon=$_POST['charon']; $charoff=$_POST['charoff']; $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("myfyp", $con); ?> <?php $query="SELECT from user where UserId = '".$_SESSION ['UserId']."'"; //if ($username != UserId) { //echo "no user"; //}else{ $sql="INSERT INTO appliances VALUES ('','$appliancesname','$port','$username','','$charon','$charoff')"; echo $query; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "You have choose the following:<br>"; echo "<br>Appliances: $appliancesname</br>"; echo "<br>Port Number: $port</br>"; echo "<br>Character on: $charon</br>"; echo "<br>Character off: $charoff</br>"; echo "<br><INPUT Type='button' VALUE='Back' onClick='history.go(- 1);return true;'>"; //} ?> when i try to add it will add to the database but the port is not updated and the userid is empty.. i'm sorry.. i am new to php.. there are lots that i don't know..
