MjM8082 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Can't figure out why my form is not deleting a user from database anymore. It was working a hour ago. Now it's not working, and I have no idea why. I've tried everything. Am I missing something? Here is the delete page... <html> <head> <title>Update User</title> </head> <body> <?php $dbc = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'se266_user', 'pwd', 'se266') or die(mysql_error()); //delete users echo '<b>Delete or Update User</b>.<br />'; if (isset($_POST['remove'])) { foreach($_POST['delete'] as $delete_id) { $query = "DELETE FROM users WHERE course_id = $delete_id"; mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or die ('can\'t delete user'); } echo 'user has been deleted.<br />'; } if (isset($_POST['update'])) { foreach($_POST['update'] as $update_id) { $course_id = $_POST['course_id']; $course_name = $_POST['course_name']; $student_id = $_POST['student_id']; $query = "UPDATE `users` SET `course_name` = '$course_name' WHERE `course_id` = '$course_id' AND 'student_id' = '$student_id'"; mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or die ('can\'t update course'); $update_count = $db->exec($query); } echo 'course has been updated.<br />'; } //display users info with checkbox to delete $query = "SELECT * FROM users"; $result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query); while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { echo '<input type="checkbox" value="' .$row['course_id'] . '" name="delete[]" />'; echo ' ' .$row['course_name'] .' '. $row['student_id']; echo '<br />'; } mysqli_close($dbc); ?> <form method="POST" action="update_user2.php"> <label for="course_id">Course ID:</label> <input type="text" id="course_id" name="course_id" /><br /> <label for="course_name">Course Name:</label> <input type="text" id="course_name" name="course_name" /><br /> <label for="course_name">Student ID:</label> <input type="text" id="student_id" name="student_id" /><br /> </form> <form method="post" action="update_user2.php"> <input type="submit" name="remove" value="Remove" /> <input type="submit" name="update" value="Update" /> <br> <br> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245321-delete-statement-trouble/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 First, I can see that your checkboxes are not inside the form. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245321-delete-statement-trouble/#findComment-1259993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjM8082 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Good call, thanks a lot. Another question... My update statement doesnt work... in that same code. I fill out the form and then click update. and the information in the database does not get updated. Also not sure why this is happening. Is my form coded correctly to work with the update button? The error I'm getting is... "Could not query the database - : Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO)" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245321-delete-statement-trouble/#findComment-1260002 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to check your database connection. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245321-delete-statement-trouble/#findComment-1260027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
