Help me please - edituser.php?action=edit

Ptsface12 · July 18, 2011

Hello,

I'm working on a script that echoes user details and gives the option whether you want to Edit or Delete a user. However I'm not sure on how to do so, I was told it was done by using the GET element. However, there's one bit inparticular im stuck on, for example here's a table that looks like what I'm doing:

Username

Email Address

Actions

Ptsface12

Ptsface12@yahoo.com

However, the problem is when they click edit, I don't know how to grab the username that they pressed the edit button on.

Best Wishes,

Ptsface12

You'll want to pass in the id that is associated to the username when the edit link is clicked, so your edit link will read edituser.php?action=edit&id=id_number_associated_to_user

Then in edituser.php you'd fetch the user details from your datebase like

$user_id = (int) $_GET['user_id'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT username, email FROM users_table WHERE id=$user_id");

You output the username,email address etc into a form fields so they can be edited.

Hey,

Thanks for that. But what I don't get is for every row that a user has been displayed in the edit colum, I have an image and then a href and I know it'll display the id. I have an id colum in mysql db but how do I get the id that is associated with the user that has been selected

When you outputting your edit link your code will be like this

echo '<a href="edituser.php?action=edit&id=' .$row['id'] .'"><img src="edit_button.png" /></a>';

To get the id in edituser.php you'd use $_GET['id'] as I demonstrated in my previous post.

First change your query so it also return the id column

$result = mysql_query("SELECT id, username, email FROM users") or die(mysql_error());

To make your edit link change

<a href="#" title=""><img SRC="img/icons/icon_edit.png" alt="Edit" /></a>

to

<a href="edituser.php?action=edit&id=' .$row['id'] .'" title=""><img SRC="img/icons/icon_edit.png" alt="Edit" /></a>

Ptsface12 · July 18, 2011

Hey,

Thanks that worked great!

Would this work for an update?

$update = mysql_query("SELECT username, email FROM users_table UPDATE username SET email = $email");

Best Wishes,

Ptsface12

wildteen88 · July 18, 2011

No, that is not an update query.

And update query is formatted like

UPDATE table_name SET fieldx='valuey' WHERE some_condition=true

Ptsface12 · July 18, 2011

Hey,

Thanks for that, so how would I update a email for example? My posts are as followed $email, $nickname, $password

Best wishes,
