I am trying to use a form that will post data to the MYSQL database.

I don't get any errors, but the data is not appearing in my database.

Any help is appreciated. It is a form we used last year, with just some update info.

 

I am not very proficient with php/mysql.

This was actually built for me but the developer is MIA.

The strange thing is that it worked. Is it possible that my hosting provider has a setting which has changed that would make this now now work.

 

I also tried adding:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

?>

 

But I don't get any errors.

It just seems to process the form, but then in phpmyadmin there is no data.

 

 

I changed the database logins for security.

front end can be viewed at:

http://www.avsabonline.org/admin_form.php

 

 

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ] [ Select ] [ Contract ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

<?php

$db_host = "localhost";

$db_user = "avsab_user";

$db_pwd = "pwd";

$db_name = "avsab_registration";

mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd);

mysql_select_db($db_name);

?>

<?php include 'states.php' ?>

<br />

<?php

function showOptionsDrop($array){

$string = '';

foreach($array as $k => $v){       

$string .= '<option value="'.$k.'"'.$s.'>'.$v.'</option>'."\n";   

}

return $string;

}

$em = $_GET;

?>

It really helps when code is enclosed in PHP or CODE bb tags...

 

Users will format posts as best as they can by using proper code /code or php /php tags and following Proper Code Indentation guidelines.

http://www.phpfreaks.com/page/rules-and-terms-of-service#toc_forum_guidelines

 

Your problem is with your form:

 

<form method="post" name="avsab">

 

You need an action attribute equal to the PHP script you want to run.

 

<form method="post" name="asvab" action="your_php_file_name.php">

 

I haven't checked your code for any other errors.

Do I have to have an outside file.

I thought I could have within the same file as I currently have setup.

I did try what you mentioned though and setup a action and seperate file, but still no luck.

 

I have been reading everywhere and trying different things, Here is my updated code.... that after countless hours still doesn't work.

page can be found here:

http://www.avsabonline.org/admin_form.php

 

CODE:

<?php
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "avsab_admin";
$db_pwd = "admin";
$db_name = "avsab_registration";
mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd);
mysql_select_db($db_name);
?>
<?php include 'states.php' ?>
<br />
<?php
function showOptionsDrop($array){
$string = '';
foreach($array as $k => $v){        
$string .= '<option value="'.$k.'"'.$s.'>'.$v.'</option>'."\n";     
}
return $string;
}

?>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
?>
