Hi

 

i would like to display in my data table the user who last updated the data

 

I have this example

 

$updated_by = $myUser->getVar('name'); 

 

 

echo "<input type='hidden' name='updated_by' value='$updated_by'>";

 

 global $myDB;  

 

mysql_query("UPDATE ".$myDB->prefix("kmb_info")."

 

SET name='" . mysql_escape_string(trim($_POST['name']))  . "',

 

updated_by='" . mysql_escape_string(trim($_POST['updated_by']))  . "'

 

WHERE id='".intval($id)."'") or die(mysql_error()); 

 

 

the problem is field updated_by is updated even when no change in name value when the

edit form is submitted

 

how do i do this..im new to this

 

TQ...

You'll have to do a comparison of the old record value to the new value. Only run your UPDATE query if there has actually been a change.

 

if ($oldRecord['name'] != $_POST['name']){
   //Do Update
}
