Darco Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hello Guys, I just joined PHPFreaks.com and I am mainly here for some help. I work for a small biz and we need a form that updates a SQL Database....Here is my code below: The input.html (Form for the fields): <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>GRCA Club House Control Panel</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style1 {color: #006600} .style2 { color: #006600; font-style: italic; font-size: 18px; } --> </style> </head> <body> <table border="1"> <tr> <td align="center">GRCA Club House Check In</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table> <form method="post" action="input.php"> <tr> <td>Name</td> <td><input type="text" name="name" size="50"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Address</td> <td><input type="text" name="address" size="50"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td align="right"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save"></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <p class="style2"> Helpful Links:</p> <p class="style1"><a href="http://goldenridgecondos.org"><strong>Go to GRCA Website</strong></a></p> <p class="style1"><a href="#"><strong>Lookup Unit</strong></a></p> <p class="style1"><a href="#"><strong>Submit A Work Order</strong></a></p> <p> </p> </body> </html> And the post action PHP form is: <? //the example of inserting data with variable from HTML form //input.php mysql_connect("localhost","root","ascent");//database connection mysql_select_db("employees"); //inserting data order $order = "INSERT INTO data_employees (name, address) VALUES ('$name', '$address')"; //declare in the order variable $result = mysql_query($order); //order executes if($result){ echo("<br>Data was successfully saved into DataBase."); } else{ echo("<br>Data was could not be saved into DataBase. Please check to make sure the DataBase is running or that you have entered the correct info. "); } ?> It submits a new row but, the row is empty. How do I fix this? I do not know alot about PHP that is why I came here for some help.

Jnerocorp Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 it looks like your variables werent defined try this: <? if(isset($_POST['name'] && $_POST['address'])) { mysql_connect("localhost","root","ascent");//database connection mysql_select_db("employees"); $name = $_POST['name']; $address = $_POST['address']; //inserting data order $order = "INSERT INTO data_employees (name, address) VALUES ('$name', '$address')"; //declare in the order variable $result = mysql_query($order); //order executes if($result){ echo("<br>Data was successfully saved into DataBase."); } else{ echo("<br>Data was could not be saved into DataBase. Please check to make sure the DataBase is running or that you have entered the correct info. "); } } else { ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>GRCA Club House Control Panel</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style1 {color: #006600} .style2 { color: #006600; font-style: italic; font-size: 18px; } --> </style> </head> <body> <table border="1"> <tr> <td align="center">GRCA Club House Check In</td> </tr> <form method="post" action=""> <tr> <td>Name</td> <td><input type="text" name="name" size="50"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Address</td> <td><input type="text" name="address" size="50"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save"></td> </tr> <p class="style2"> Helpful Links:</p> <p class="style1"><a href="http://goldenridgecondos.org"><strong>Go to GRCA Website</strong></a></p> <p class="style1"><a href="#"><strong>Lookup Unit</strong></a></p> <p class="style1"><a href="#"><strong>Submit A Work Order</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <?php } ?> </body> </html> I added all the code into one page Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/179909-i-need-help-with-a-php-form/#findComment-949073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynew Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 People here volunteer their time to help people with their scripts. They usually don't write your scripts for you. If you're really stuck in a rut, I suggest that you visit the freelance forum and tell everyone how much you're willing to pay.
