VicHost Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Guys, you are so going to be sick of me. But I really appreciate the help I am receiving here thus far. I have the code below sending the data from the form to the database. That's excellent. However, where I am stuck is doing the following two: 1. Updating currently inserted data 2. Displaying the data on the site. Here is settings.php: <?php include "../settings.php"; include "../lang/english.php"; include "../config/config.php"; $errors = array(); // condition and map inputs $fields = array('site_name'=>'sitename','site_email'=>'email','your_name'=>'name','meta_description'=>'meta-description','meta_keywords'=>'meta-keywords'); foreach($fields as $var => $field){ $$var = isset($_GET[$field]) ? trim($_GET[$field]) : ''; } // check if the form was submitted if(isset($_GET['submit'])){ // connect to/select database mysql_connect("$db_hostname", "$db_username", "$db_password") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("$db_database") or die(mysql_error()); // basic validation (not empty) and escape data foreach($fields as $var => $field){ if(empty($$var)){ $errors[] = "The form field: $field, is empty!"; } // escape the data $$var = mysql_real_escape_string($$var); } // if no validation errors, insert the data if(empty($errors)){ $insert = sprintf("INSERT INTO settings (site_name, description, keywords, email, name) VALUES ('%s','%s','%s','%s','%s')", $site_name, $meta_description, $meta_keywords, $site_email, $your_name ); if(!mysql_query($insert)){ // a query error occurred // check if due to duplicate data if(mysql_errno() == 1062){ // 1062 = duplicate primary key error (your error number might be different depending on your table definition) $errors[] = "The site name: $site_name, already exists and cannot be inserted!"; } else { // all other query errors - $errors[] = "A database error occurred and your query cannot be processed!"; trigger_error(mysql_error()); // use error_reporting/display_errors/log_errors to display/log the error condition } } else { echo "The data was successfully inserted!"; } } } //database_connect(); $sql = "UPDATE settings SET site_name='$site_name', description='$description', keywords='$keywords', email='$site_email', name='$your_name' WHERE id='$id'"; $query = mysql_query($sql)or die("There's a problem with the query: ". mysql_error()); if($query) echo "<br>The settings have been updated.<br>"; $_SESSION['tekst']=""; ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title><?php echo $site_name; ?> :: :: Powered by osPHPSite</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link href="css/admin.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="main"> <div id="header"> <h1><?php echo $sitename; ?></h1> <ul id="top-navigation"> <li><a href="index.php"><?php echo $lang_button_index; ?></a></li> <li><a href="settings.php" class="active"><?php echo $lang_button_settings; ?></a></li> <li><a href="pages.php"><?php echo $lang_button_pages; ?></a></li> <li><a href="gallery.php"><?php echo $lang_button_gallery; ?></a></li> <li><a href="/"><?php echo $lang_button_viewsite; ?></a></li> <li><a href="logout.php"><?php echo $lang_button_logout; ?></a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="middle"> <div id="left-column"> <h3><?php echo $eng_navigation; ?></h3> <ul class="nav"> <li><a href="index.php"><?php echo $lang_button_index; ?></a></li> <li><a href="settings.php"><?php echo $lang_button_settings; ?></a></li> <li><a href="pages.php"><?php echo $lang_button_pages; ?></a></li> <li><a href="gallery.php"><?php echo $lang_button_gallery; ?></a></li> <li><a href="/"><?php echo $lang_button_viewsite; ?></a></li> <li><a href="logout.php"><?php echo $lang_button_logout; ?></a></li> </ul> <a href="http://www.osphpsite.com" target="_blank" class="link">osPHPSite</a> <a href="http://www.osphpsite.com/forums/" target="_blank" class="link">Support Forums</a> <a href="http://www.vichost.com" target="_blank" class="link">VicHost.Com</a> </div> <div id="center-column"> <div class="table"> <?php if(!empty($errors)){ echo 'The following errors occurred:<br />'; foreach($errors as $error){ echo "$error<br />"; } } ?> <form action="" id="settings" name="settings"> <table class="listing form" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <th class="full" colspan="2">Site Configuration</th> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2">From the options below, define the default settings for your website.</th> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2"></th> </tr> <tr> <td>Site name: </td> <td><input type="text" name="sitename" value="<?php echo $site_name; ?>" width="172" /> <em>Site name for logo</em></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email: </td> <td><input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $site_email; ?>" width="172" /> <em>Your email address</em></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Name: </td> <td><input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $your_name; ?>" width="172" /> <em>Your own name</em></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Meta Description: </td> <td><input type="text" name="meta-description" value="<?php echo $meta_description; ?>" width="172" /> <em>SEO</em></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Meta Keywords: </td> <td><input type="text" name="meta-keywords" value="<?php echo $meta_keywords; ?>" width="172" /> <em>Separate with Commas</em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="submit" class="button" name="submit" value="Submit"></td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> This will be a huge hurdle if I can get passed this one, I am well and truly on my way. Any help, advice etc that you can give, and what needs to go where, I would really appreciate it and I promise not to annoy you guys unless absolutely necessary.

joel24 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 you already have an update query in the code...? $sql = "UPDATE settings SET site_name='$site_name', description='$description', keywords='$keywords', email='$site_email', name='$your_name' WHERE id='$id'"; have a look at some mysql/php tutorials. You'll need to do a select query and then echo the results. start here Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/217284-select-update-and-display/#findComment-1128334 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 What you are attempting to do is to write a script to Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) database information. There are countless php scripts/classes and tutorials posted all over the Internet that you can either use or look at to learn how you can do this.
