oj_boy Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Apologies for posting entire script but just can\'t seem to figure out the problem - it won\'t save data once it\'s been updated. It had been working until I added another column. Can anyone see anything obvious? <?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "XXXX", "XXXX"); mysql_select_db("wobble",$db); if ($submit) { // here if no ID then adding else we\'re editing if ($id) { $sql = "UPDATE contacts SET org=\'$org\',contact=\'$contact\',address=\'$address\',tel=\'$tel\',mob=\'$mob\',fax=\'$fax\',email=\'$email\',web=\'$web\',info=\'$info,type=\'$type\' WHERE id=$id"; } else { $sql = "INSERT INTO contacts (org,contact,address,tel,mob,fax,email,web,info,type) VALUES (\'$org\',\'$contact\',\'$address\',\'$tel\',\'$mob\',\'$fax\',\'$email\',\'$web\',\'$info\',\'$type\')"; } // run SQL against the DB $result = mysql_query($sql); echo "Record updated/edited!<p>"; echo "<a href="database.php">SHOW WHOLE DATABASE / ADD A NEW RECORD</a><p>"; } elseif ($delete) { // delete a record $sql = "DELETE FROM contacts WHERE id=$id"; $result = mysql_query($sql); echo "$sql Record deleted!<p>"; echo "<a href="database.php">SHOW WHOLE DATABASE / ADD A NEW RECORD</a><p>"; } else { // this part happens if we don\'t press submit print ("<form method "POST" action="$PHP_SELF">Search database: <input name="name" size="30" maxlength="255"> "); print ("<input type="Submit" name="sub" value="Search"></form>"); if ($sub) { // print the search results $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE org LIKE \'%$name%\' OR contact LIKE \'%$name%\' OR type LIKE \'%$name%\' ORDER BY type, org, contact",$db); echo "<table>n"; echo "<tr><td><div align="center"><strong>Contact Name</strong></div></td><td><div align="center"><strong>Organisation Name</strong></div></td><td><div align="center"><strong>Telephone</strong></div></td><td><div align=center"><strong>Email</strong></div></td><td><div align="center"><strong>Type</strong></div></td></tr>n"; while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { printf("<tr><td><a href="%s?id=%s">%s</a></td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>n", $PHP_SELF, $myrow[0], $myrow[2], $myrow[1], $myrow[4], $myrow[7], $myrow[10]); } echo "</table>n"; } elseif (!$id) { // print the list if there is not editing $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE org LIKE \'%$name%\' OR contact LIKE \'%$name%\' OR type LIKE \'%$name%\' ORDER BY type",$db) or die ("Sorry no results. <a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Please try again</a>."); echo "<table>n"; echo "<tr><td><div align="center"><strong>Contact Name</strong></div></td><td><div align="center"><strong>Organisation Name</strong></div></td><td><div align="center"><strong>Telephone</strong></div></td><td><div align=center"><strong>Email</strong></div></td><td><div align="center"><strong>Type</strong></div></td></tr>n"; while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { printf("<tr><td><a href="%s?id=%s">%s</a></td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>n", $PHP_SELF, $myrow[0], $myrow[2], $myrow[1], $myrow[4], $myrow[7], $myrow[10]); } echo "</table>n"; } ?> <P> <a href="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>">SHOW WHOLE DATABASE / ADD A NEW RECORD</a> <P> <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>"> <?php if ($id) { // editing so select a record $sql = "SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE id=$id"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); $id = $myrow["id"]; $org = $myrow["org"]; $contact = $myrow["contact"]; $address = $myrow["address"]; $tel = $myrow["tel"]; $mob = $myrow["mob"]; $fax = $myrow["fax"]; $email = $myrow["email"]; $web = $myrow["web"]; $info = $myrow["info"]; $type = $myrow["type"]; // print the id for editing ?> <p> <input type=hidden name="id" value="<?php echo $id ?>"> <?php } ?> Contact Name: <input type="Text" name="contact" value="<?php echo $contact ?>"> <br> Organisation Name: <input type="Text" name="org" value="<?php echo $org ?>"> <br> Address: <textarea name="address" cols="30" rows="4"><?php echo $address ?></textarea> <br> Telephone: <input type="Text" name="tel" value="<?php echo $tel ?>"> <br> Mobile: <input type="Text" name="mob" value="<?php echo $mob ?>"> <br> Fax: <input type="Text" name="fax" value="<?php echo $fax ?>"> <br> Email: <input type="Text" name="email" value="<?php echo $email ?>"> <br> Web: <input type="Text" name="web" value="<?php echo $web ?>"> <br> Information: <textarea name="info" cols="30" rows="4"><?php echo $info ?></textarea> <br> Type: <select name="type"> <option value="Funding">Funding</option> <option value="Press">Press</option> <option value="Musician">Musician</option> <option value="Stall">Stall</option> <option value="Act">Act</option> <option value="Other">Other</option> <option value="<?php echo $type ?>" selected><?php echo $type ?></option> </select> <br> <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Enter information"> <input type="Submit" name="delete" value="Delete record"> </p> </form> <?php } ?> Sorry once again tom.

Glish Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 i didnt read all the code, I said to myself I\'ll stop at the first error. Submit the error message please, would be easier here is one error (in your first update) $sql = \"UPDATE contacts SET org=\'$org\',contact=\'$contact\',address=\'$address\',tel=\'$tel\',mob=\'$mob\',fax=\'$fax\',email=\'$email\',web=\'$web\',info=\'$info,type=\'$type\' WHERE id=$id\"; you are missing a \' Like I said i dont know if the rest is ok Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/1331-mysqlphp-script-where-am-i-going-wrong/#findComment-4459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
