hi ive been trying to sort this out all day, im very inexperianced in php but really want to do well in it and at the moment ive got a table working linked to a database and which pulls records but now i want to get an update and delete button but i cant seem to hack it heres the code.

<?php
 
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","lcm");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
//updates table.
if (isset($_POST['update'])){;
 
$UpdateQuery = "UPDATE tbl_contactinfo SET Name='$_POST[Name]', Address='$_POST[Address]' WHERE Name='$_POST[hidden]'";
mysql_query($UpdateQuery, $con);
}
if (isset($_POST['delete'])){;
 
$DeleteQuery =  "DELETE FROM tbl_contactinfo WHERE Name='$_POST[hidden]'";
mysql_query($DeleteQuery, $con);
}
//selects the table.
$sql = "Select * from tbl_contactinfo";
if ($result = mysqli_query($con, $sql))
{
echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Address</th>
</tr>";
 
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo '<form action="index1.php" method="post">';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td><input type="text" name="name" value="' . $row['Name'] . '" /></td>'; 
echo '<td><input type="text" name="address" value="' . $row['Address'] . '" /></td>';
echo '<td><input type="hidden" name="hidden" value="' . $row['ID'] . '" /></td>';

Lots of problems:

 

1. You need to run the POST vars through mysqli_real_escape_string() or use prepared statements before using them in your query.

2. Your form input is name etc.  and you are trying to use $_POST[Name].

3. You're mixing mysql and mysqli functions which won't work.

etc...

  • Solution

Also you're trying to update/delete records where Name = $_POST['hidden']. The form field named hidden is set to the records ID not the Name

echo '<td><input type="hidden" name="hidden" value="' . $row['ID'] . '" /></td>'; 

You need to change your update/delete queries where clause to WHERE ID = $_POST['hidden']
