admin question regarding, edit and delete function...

[bossman]

Hi all,

 

I am currently in the process of building an admin for a directory website we are currently working on.. here is a link to the admin...

 

http://mediagenius.biz/test/hairlossdir/index_test_admin.php

 

as you can see, there are 3 basic functions. Add, edit, and delete...universal among content management systems.

 

The problem i am having, is that i stopped coding for a short while, and i need a point in the right direction regarding the edit and delete functions...

 

so far the add function works fine.

 

here is the code for the add...

 

<?
require("db_connect.php");

$new_name = $_POST['name'];
$new_contact = $_POST['contact'];
$new_streetaddress = $_POST['streetaddress'];
$new_city = $_POST['city'];
$new_state = $_POST['state'];
$new_zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
$new_country = $_POST['country'];
$new_phonenumber = $_POST['phonenumber'];
$new_email = $_POST['email'];
$new_website = $_POST['website'];

//query to insert files and info into database
$query = "INSERT INTO hair_loss_clients (name, contact_name, street_address, city, state, zipcode, country,  phone_number, email, website)
VALUES
('$new_name', '$new_contact', '$new_streetaddress', '$new_city', '$new_state', '$new_zipcode', '$new_country',  '$new_phonenumber', '$new_email', '$new_website' )";

$result=mysql_query($query);

mysql_close($link);

header("Location: http://mediagenius.biz/test/hairlossdir/index_test_admin.php");

?>

 

when i click the 'edit' button, i want it to pull in all the information into the text fields based on the id. I have done this before, but im not positive how to put the code together...

 

i know that in the 'edit' link, i will have to pass the $id so that it knows which information to pull into the text fields...once i do that i know what to do...

 

any help is appreciated!

pass them with $_GET - listing the ID in the URL for the edit page to read.

i.e.

<a href='editPage.php?editID=<?php echo $theID; ?>'>Edit</a>

 

and then on the edit page

$id = $_GET['editID'];
