Don't know where it would be deleting all of your data, there are no delete statements.

 

The blank page is probably caused by (need and ending double quote):

 

$sql = "UPDATE User_infoT ( Location, Fav, Quote, Interests, Happy, Sad, Habits, Music, Movie, Website, Aboutme, Whywe, Status) VALUES( '$Location', '$Fav', '$Quote', '$Interests', '$Happy', '$Sad', '$Habits' , '$Music', '$Movie', '$Website', '$Aboutme', '$Whywe', '$Status' ) WHERE Username='$username'";

this is the error i am now getting on screen !!

 

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '( Location, Fav, Quote, Interests, Happy, Sad, Habits, Music, Movie, Website, Ab' at line 1: UPDATE User_infoT ( Location, Fav, Quote, Interests, Happy, Sad, Habits, Music, Movie, Website, Aboutme, Whywe, Status) VALUES( 'Manchester, UK', 'Choose', 'I like a blunt or a big fat cone, but this double barelled bong is getting me stoned!', 'Webdesigning, Numbing myself & dressing up like a hotdog', 'When this site runs smothly & i can just chillax', 'Spammers, cheap skates & hackers', 'Sitting up all night smoking and sleeping all day' , 'Choose', 'Half Baked & Pineapple express', 'http://www.andrewbiggart.co.uk', 'I\'m about as random as a banana boat on steroids!

Yes i am Irish, and yes I will drink & smoke with you until I pass out!

I love piercings and tattoo\'s, they really tickle my pickle!

Couldn\'t really give a shit if people like me on hear, if you dont like it dont fucking use the site, im not gaining anything or losing anything by you being hear or not ! Cant be bothered with game players, knob ends and stuck up people! so don\'t bother messaging me  And also if u have to pull your head out of your own ass to talk to me don\'t bother Ive got no time for people who love their self more than they could ever love anyone else 

Ive been smoking the sweet stuff for far far far to long now, but im now a part time smoker instead of an every minute of every hour or every second smoker. I realised if u want to get anything done in life u need to lay off the web abit to be honest otherwise you will never get out of your boxers & never stop playing xbox.

I like to smoke this shit as it makes me cretive as fuck, i mean look at this site for an example! Would a non-pothead have had the patients to crete this shit i dont think so lol It is always a very good way to chil a mother fucker out if he is stressed to the eyeballs, girlfriends on his back, boss is trying to hump his leg etc etc!

Im so feed up with this bullshit the government has put on the news about weed and had it raised to a class B drug again, did someone say scare tactics? This world needs to wake up and realise we are being controlled far to fucking much, free will & freedom of spek my fucking ass.

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['myusername'])) {
}
else{
header("location:login.php");
}
// Check the user is logged in
?>
<?php

include("config.php");

$username=$_SESSION['myusername']; 
$Location = ($_POST['Location']);
$Fav = ($_POST['Fav']);
$Quote = ($_POST['Quote']);
$Interests = ($_POST['Interests']);
$Happy = ($_POST['Happy']);
$Sad = ($_POST['Sad']);
$Habits = ($_POST['Habits']);
$Music = ($_POST['Music']);
$Movie = ($_POST['Movie']);

$Whywe = ($_POST['Whywe']);
$Status = ($_POST['status']);



$sql = "UPDATE User_infoT ( Location, Fav, Quote, Interests, Happy, Sad, Habits, Music, Movie, Website, Aboutme, Whywe, Status) VALUES( '$Location', '$Fav', '$Quote', '$Interests', '$Happy', '$Sad', '$Habits' , '$Music', '$Movie', '$Website', '$Aboutme', '$Whywe', '$Status' ) WHERE Username='$username'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
if($result){
     
header("my_profile.php");
}
else {
header("profile_edit.php");
}
// close connection
mysql_close();
?>

I have never seen an update statement work like that. I am not saying that it cannot or does not.

 

But here are some spots you might want to read over and reform your query:

 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/update.html

and or

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replace.html

 

Not sure if replace is right for you, but it maybe.

[andrew_biggart]

I have also tried doing this way but im having no success i just cannot see what i am doing wrong!!!

 

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['myusername'])) {
}
else{
header("location:login.php");
}
// Check the user is logged in
?>
<?php

include("config.php");

$Username=$_SESSION['myusername']; 
$Location = ($_POST['Location']);
$Fav = ($_POST['Fav']);
$Quote = ($_POST['Quote']);
$Interests = ($_POST['Interests']);
$Happy = ($_POST['Happy']);
$Sad = ($_POST['Sad']);
$Habits = ($_POST['Habits']);
$Music = ($_POST['Music']);
$Movie = ($_POST['Movie']);
$Website = ($_POST['Website']);
$Aboutme = ($_POST['Aboutme']);
$Whywe = ($_POST['Whywe']);
$Status = ($_POST['status']);

$sql = "UPDATE User_infoT  SET Location='$Location', Fav='$Fav', Quote='$Quote', Interests='$Interests', Happy='$Happy', Sad='$Sad', Habits='$Habits', Music='$Music', Movie='$Movie', Website='$Website', Aboutme='$Aboutme', Whywe='$Whywe', Status='$Status' WHERE Username='$Username'";
$result=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error().": $sql");
if($result){
     
header("my_profile.php");
}
else {
header("profile_edit.php");
}
// close connection
mysql_close();
?>

Are you still getting an SQL error?

[andrew_biggart]

its saying this now! with the above code!!

 

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, root@server.microlite20.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

[andrew_biggart]

ok i have now noticed it is actually changing the information but giving the error so does that mean it is something to do with the server?

[wildteen88]

if you're performing a redirect then these need to be header('Location: path/to/page.php');

 

header("my_profile.php");
}
else {
header("profile_edit.php");

 

Also check your servers error logs for why you're getting a 500 Internal Server Error.
