Form not updating database

mapletech · June 9, 2013

I have aform that is not updating the database. When filling out the form all seems to work but it is not updating the database. I am new to php and any help would be appreciated.

any help would be appreciated.

General advice:

1) Don't post your entire page unless asked for it, people don't want to wade through a bunch of code. Only post the problematic area.

2) Use

tags if you want people to look at your code.

Regarding problem:

1) Do you get any error message back from mysql_error()?

2) echo $sql and try running the query manually in phpMyAdmin or similar.

3) Make sure your WHERE condition matches rows by using a SELECT query with the same clause.

Have you verified that you are passing the id on the query string (which you are using in the WHERE clause)?

mapletech · June 10, 2013

Thanks kicken and Psycho for your response. Sorry about posting the whole page but i had spent hours looking at the page and had no idea where the problem was. I don't think i am getting any errors from the database because I made a slight change in the code after receiving your reply and got a database error then. There is an add_user page that uses the same configuration and authentication file and the add_user works. I am not a programer and was asked to try and figure this out so I am not quite sure how to do what you have suggested.

have you checked if the $edit_record variable in the following statement is a true value so that the update logic is even running -

if (!$edit_record) {

    the update query logic is here ...

}

where in your code is the $edit_record variable being set to indicate that the update query logic should be executed? the only occurrence of $edit_record in the code is setting it to the string "no", but the string "no" is a true value and the update query logic would run.

where did you find this code at?

mapletech · June 10, 2013

It is on a website that I volunteered to manage for a non profit. Not sure who wrote the code but the person that was managing the website quit and I am not a programer just trying to fix the many problems with this site until I get a new one running for them. Should $edit_record be set "yes" or how do I set the variable? Sorry I know this is basic programing.

mac_gyver · June 10, 2013

generally, edit means to read, modify, update something, so the intent is probably for $edit_record to indicate that an update should be performed. however, i just looked closer at that code and it is using !(NOT)$edit_record to run the update logic. this would require that $edit_record evaluate to a false value (empty, not set, or a zero...) in order to run the update logic.

so the question still is -

have you checked if the $edit_record variable in the following statement is a true value so that the update logic is even running -
