Adding comment to denied job

[rvdveen27]

Hello all,

 

I'm trying to modify the code for denying a job, by also giving the option to put in a comment as to why the job was denied. I changed the query to how I think it is right, however, this gives me the following error:

Failed to run query: SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens

I compared it to other similar queries but I can't figure out why I'm receiving this error. 

 

Here is the full query: 

$id = $_GET['id'];
		$id = intval($id);

		if(!is_numeric($id))
		{
			header("Location: index.php");
			exit;
		}
 
		if(!empty($_POST))
		$query = " 
            UPDATE drive_routes
			SET
			(
				status = 1
				,comments
				,handledby = ". $_SESSION['userid'] ."
			) VALUES  (
				:comments
			)
        "; 
		$query_params = array( 
            ':id' => $id,
			':comments' => $_POST['comments']
		); 
        $query .= " 
            WHERE 
                id = :id 
        "; 
         
        try 
        { 
            $stmt = $db->prepare($query); 
            $result = $stmt->execute($query_params); 
        } 
        catch(PDOException $ex) 
        { 
            die("Failed to run query: " . $ex->getMessage()); 
        } 
        
        header("Location: pendjobs.php"); 

        exit;
	} 

If anyone could explain me what's going wrong here, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your update query is slightly incorrect it should be

$query = " 
    UPDATE drive_routes
    SET
        status = 1,
        comments = :comments,
        handledby = :handleby
    WHERE 
        id = :id 
";

$query_params = array( 
    ':comments' => $_POST['comments'],
    ':handleby' => $_SESSION['userid'],
    ':id' => $id
);

I currently have this:

	// Check if the user is logged in, otherwise re-direct to the login page.
    if(empty($_SESSION['user'])) 
    { 
        header("Location: login.php"); 
         
        exit;
	} 
	
	// Check if the user is an admin, otherwise re-direct to the dashboard.
	if($_SESSION['adminlevel'] == 0) 
    { 
        header("Location: dashboard.php"); 
         
        exit;
	}
	else {
		if(empty($_GET['id'])) 
		{ 
			header("Location: index.php"); 
			exit;
		} 
		$id = $_GET['id'];
		$id = intval($id);

		if(!is_numeric($id))
		{
			header("Location: index.php");
			exit;
		}
 
		$query = " 
            UPDATE drive_routes
			SET
				status = 1
				,comments = :comments
				,handledby = ". $_SESSION['userid'] ."
        "; 
		$query_params = array( 
            ':id' => $id,
			':comments' => $_POST['comments']
		); 
        $query .= " 
            WHERE 
                id = :id 
        "; 
         
        try 
        { 
            $stmt = $db->prepare($query); 
            $result = $stmt->execute($query_params); 
        } 
        catch(PDOException $ex) 
        { 
            die("Failed to run query: " . $ex->getMessage()); 
        } 
        
        header("Location: pendjobs.php"); 

        exit; 
		}
     
?> 
<div class="container" style="width:450px;">

	<form class="form-signin" role="form" action="denyjob.php" method="post">
		<h2 class="form-signin-heading">Please leave a comment as to why the job was denied.</h2>
		<textarea name="comments"></textarea><br />
		<button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Submit</button>
	 </form>
</div>

Which works, except it runs the query immediately, without allowing to enter a comment first. Now if I replace the

else { 

 on line 21, with

else if(!empty($_POST))
	{

then it fails on: 

		if(empty($_GET['id'])) 
		{ 
			header("Location: index.php"); 
			exit;
		} 

Meaning it's not getting the id for some reason? 

[Ch0cu3r]

The id in the url is being removed when the form is submitted. Either leave the form action blank or pass the id as a hidden input field

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo intval($_GET['id']); ?>" /> 

You will have to use $_POST['id'] rather than $_GET['id'] in your code.
