Mysql edit row with PHP


Buttero

Recommended Posts

I upload this script to my server at Seski with all the username and pass updated. It worked fine until I clicked the news article I wanted to edit. Then this error message showed up:

[quote]Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/blah/public_html/q/edit.php on line 36[/quote]

Here is edit.php

[code]<?
//connect to mysql
//change user and password to your mySQL name and password
mysql_connect("localhost","user","password");

//select which database you want to edit
mysql_select_db("spoono_sections");

//If cmd has not been initialized
if(!isset($cmd))
{
  //display all the news
  $result = mysql_query("select * from news order by id");
 
  //run the while loop that grabs all the news scripts
  while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
      //grab the title and the ID of the news
      $title=$r["title"];//take out the title
      $id=$r["id"];//take out the id
   
//make the title a link
      echo "<a href='edit.php?cmd=edit&id=$id'>$title - Edit</a>";
      echo "<br>";
    }
}
?>
<?
if($_GET["cmd"]=="edit" || $_POST["cmd"]=="edit")
{
  if (!isset($_POST["submit"]))
  {
      $id = $_GET["id"];
      $sql = "SELECT * FROM news WHERE id=$id";
      $result = mysql_query($sql);       
[b]      $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);[/b]
      ?>
 
      <form action="edit.php" method="post">
      <input type=hidden name="id" value="<?php echo $myrow["id"] ?>">
 
      Title:<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="title" VALUE="<?php echo $myrow["title"] ?>" SIZE=30><br>
      Message:<TEXTAREA NAME="message" ROWS=10 COLS=30><? echo $myrow["message"] ?></TEXTAREA><br>
      Who:<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="who" VALUE="<?php echo $myrow["who"] ?>" SIZE=30><br>
 
      <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="edit">
 
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
 
      </form>
 
<? } ?>
<?
  if ($_POST["$submit"])
  {
      $title = $_POST["title"];
  $message = $_POST["message"];
  $who = $_POST["who"];
 
  $sql = "UPDATE news SET title='$title',message='$message',who='$who' WHERE id=$id";
      //replace news with your table name above
      $result = mysql_query($sql);
      echo "Thank you! Information updated.";
}
}
?>
[/code]

The bold part is line 36 like the error said.
