eaglesphan Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 These pages used to work correctly but now they don't and I just need guidance on where to look to find the problem. I have a page that gets all information from a directory table according to last names. This page works fine. All records fetched have a link to Edit or Delete. When clicking on Edit, the information for the record is passed to another form with all the fields filled in. This works fine too. The problem is that when I edit a piece of information and submit, the form ADDS the corrected record rather than updating the information so I get a whole new record - which is wrong. What do I check to find out why the form is adding a new record rather than updating the current one? Here is the code for my edit record set on the problem page: <?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"] == "form1")) { $updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE Directory SET last_name=%s, first_name=%s, title=%s, rank=%s, job_title1=%s, job_title2=%s, dept_num=%s, location=%s, room=%s, phone=%s, fax=%s, email=%s, doctor=%s, master=%s, bachelor=%s, associate=%s, tier=%s WHERE id=%s", GetSQLValueString($_POST['last_name'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['first_name'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['title'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['rank'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['job_title1'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['job_title2'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['dept_num'], "int"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['location'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['room'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['phone'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['fax'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['email'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['doctor'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['master'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['bachelor'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['associate'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['tier'], "int"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['tier'], "int")); mysql_select_db($database_connDESU, $connDESU); $Result1 = mysql_query($updateSQL, $connDESU) or die(mysql_error()); $updateGoTo = "directory_mod.php"; if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { $updateGoTo .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?"; $updateGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; } header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo)); } $colname_rsDirectoryEdit = "1"; if (isset($_GET['id'])) { $colname_rsDirectoryEdit = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['id'] : addslashes($_GET['id']); } mysql_select_db($database_connDESU, $connDESU); $query_rsDirectoryEdit = sprintf("SELECT * FROM Directory WHERE id = %s", $colname_rsDirectoryEdit); $rsDirectoryEdit = mysql_query($query_rsDirectoryEdit, $connDESU) or die(mysql_error()); $row_rsDirectoryEdit = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsDirectoryEdit); $totalRows_rsDirectoryEdit = mysql_num_rows($rsDirectoryEdit); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/1816-edit-record-inserts-instead/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
