Updating via submit button reloads current page with old information


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to allow someone to update a record (using the Update Record server behavior in Dreamweaver 8 ) and upon completion redirect to the page "admin.php". For some reason when the submit button is pressed the page simply reloads and the fields contain the original information with all changes lost. Any idea what's going wrong? Thanks... following is the code.

[code]
<?php require_once('Connections/content.php'); ?>
<?php
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
  $theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $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($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "updating")) {
  $updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE content SET primary_con=%s, pagecontent_con=%s, updated_con=%s WHERE pagename_con=%s",
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['key'], "int"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['textarea'], "text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['updated'], "date"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['pagename'], "text"));

  mysql_select_db($database_content, $content);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($updateSQL, $content) or die(mysql_error());

  $updateGoTo = "admin.php";
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $updateGoTo .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $updateGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
  }
  header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo));
}

$colname_rsEdit = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['recordID'])) {
  $colname_rsEdit = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['recordID'] : addslashes($_GET['recordID']);
}
mysql_select_db($database_content, $content);
$query_rsEdit = sprintf("SELECT * FROM content WHERE pagename_con = '%s'", $colname_rsEdit);
$rsEdit = mysql_query($query_rsEdit, $content) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsEdit = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsEdit);
$totalRows_rsEdit = mysql_num_rows($rsEdit);
?>

I had the same problem with a script i wrote myself, i do not quite know how i over come it, though it still updates it in the database it just does not show the updated information, this could be because of where you update process is.
