MySQL/PHP script - where am i going wrong?


Recommended Posts

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]);

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
