insert data to database using form

Hi

 

Sorry if is in the wrong place but was seeing if anyone knows of a script that can do the following

 

1) login to an admin side using admin login info

2) add tasks and assign them to employees

3) the employee can log in with their own log in info

4) the employee can then view their tasks that are just for them and not view others that are assigned to other employees

5) update the task themselves once completed

6) admin can also see the task and the update of it if it has been completed or working on

 

Thank you in advance

 

Ian

Not a difficult problem. It's basically maintaining three tables

Use the assignment table to find the tasks assigned to an employee

Hi Barand

 

Thank you for the reply, I have created the database with the three tables and created the db connect php file which is the easy part and now just created a view page, at the mo I have not done the login etc for it as that is quite straight forward but thinking about it, I need to do that first to make sure when logging in that that specific employee can only see their tasks and no one elses

 

So far I have the following, does the SELECT line look ok as always get bit confused on the JOINS part

$sql = "SELECT emp_id, emp_name FROM employee JOIN task ON employee.emp_id = task.task_id JOIN assignment on employee.assign_id = assignment.task_id";

Just a update, I have built the register and login php scripts and that works perfect and now working on the view page but got stuck with it a bit

 

I got the following code

<?php
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
?>

<?php

include("db-connect.php");

// get the records from the database
                        if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT 
  e.emp_id
, t.description 
FROM employee e
JOIN assignment a ON e.emp_id = a.emp_id
JOIN task t ON a.task_id = t.task_id"))
						
                        {
                                // display records if there are records to display
                                if ($result->num_rows > 0)
                                {
                                        // display records in a table
                                        echo "<table>";

                                }
                                // if there are no records in the database, display an alert message

                        // close database connection
                        $mysqli->close();

?>

I get the following errors

It is pulling the following info from the database

 

Description and the emp_id but not the task_id or the status

When the user logs in, store their id in $_SESSION variable. Then you uses a WHERE clause to get that users data

SELECT 
  e.emp_id
, e.emp_name
, t.task_id
, t.description 
, t.status
FROM employee e
JOIN assignment a ON e.emp_id = a.emp_id
JOIN task t ON a.task_id = t.task_id
WHERE e.emp_id = $loggedInUser

Is that bit like what I have done below

<?
session_start();

if($_SESSION['user']==''){
 header("Location:login.php");
}else{
 include("config.php");
 $sql=$dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM employee WHERE emp_id=?");
 $sql->execute(array($_SESSION['user']));
 while($r=$sql->fetch()){
  echo "<div class='home-content'>";
  echo "<center><h2>Hello, ".$r['username']."</h2>";
  echo "<a href='logout.php'>Log Out</a></center>";
  echo "</div>";
 }
}
?>

$loggedInUser is just an example to demonstrate the query syntax. So in your case it will probably be

$sql=$dbh->prepare("SELECT 
      e.emp_id
    , e.emp_name
    , t.task_id
    , t.description 
    , t.status
    FROM employee e
    JOIN assignment a ON e.emp_id = a.emp_id
    JOIN task t ON a.task_id = t.task_id
    WHERE e.emp_id = ?");
$sql->execute(array($_SESSION['user']));

you need to use fetchObject() and not fetchColumn().

 

This worked for me

$sql=$dbh->prepare("SELECT 
      e.emp_id
    , t.task_id
    , t.description 
    , t.status
    FROM employee e
    JOIN assignment a ON e.emp_id = a.emp_id
    JOIN task t ON a.task_id = t.task_id
    WHERE e.emp_id = ?");
$sql->execute(array($_SESSION['user']));
        
// were any rows found?                
if ($row = $sql->fetchObject())
{
        // display records in a table
        echo "<table>";
        
        // set table headers
        echo "<tr>
        <th>Task ID</th>
        <th>Description</th>
        <th>Status</th>
        <th>Emp ID</th>
        <th>Status</th>
        <th colspan='1'>Actions</th>
        </tr>";
        
       
        do {
                // set up a row for each record
                echo "<tr>";
                echo "<td>" . $row->task_id . "</td>";
                echo "<td>" . $row->description . "</td>";
                echo "<td>" . $row->status . "</td>";
                echo "<td>" . $row->emp_id . "</td>";
                echo "<td>" . $row->status . "</td>";
                echo "<td><a href='records.php?task_id=" . $row->task_id . "'>Edit</a></td>";
                echo "</tr>";
        }  while ($row = $sql->fetchObject());
        
        echo "</table>";
}
// if there are no records in the database, display an alert message
else
{
        echo "No results to display!";

$link = mysqli_connect("", "", "", "");
Besides not specifying a server host to connect to, the username to connect with, or the password for the user, all of which are BAD THINGS, you aren't specifying the default database.

Either that table mentioned in the error message really does not exist, or you need to specify the correct default database when connecting.
