trying to update some coluns with PHP-MySQL

[zpupster]

Hello PHP Freaks,

 

First Post:

 

I am writing a page  to UPDATE   some table fields.

 

this works OK!

//Select Query
$result = mysql_query( "SELECT products.products_id AS id, products_description.products_name AS name,
 products.products_quantity AS quantity, products.products_weight AS weight, products.products_price AS price
 FROM products, products_description WHERE products.products_id=products_description.products_id;") or die(mysql_error());
//$sql = SELECT  products.products_id, products_description.products_name,  products.products_price, //products.products_quantity, products.products_weight`
//FROM 
//`products`
//JOIN `products_description WHERE products.products_id = products_description.products_id






echo "<table width='90%'>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th width='8%'>Id</th>";
echo "<th width='30%'>Name</th>";
echo "<th width='15%'>Quantity</th>";
echo "<th width='15%'>Weight</th>";
echo "<th width='15%'>Price</th>";
echo "<th width='7%'>Update</th></tr></table>";




    while($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result))
{
echo "<table width='90%'>";
echo "<tr><form action = update.php method = post><td width='8%'>";
echo $row['id'];
echo "</td><td width='50%'>";
echo $row['name'];
echo "</td><td width='5%'><input type=text name=quantity value='".$row['quantity']."'></td>";
echo "<td width='10%'><input type=text name=weight value='".$row['weight']."'></td>";
echo "<td width='10%'><input type=text name=price value='".$row['price']."'></td>";
echo "<td width='7%'><input type=submit value='Update'></td>";
echo "</form></tr></table>";
}




?>

This is giving Error-Not Updated

 

//Update Query


$result = "UPDATE products 
INNER JOIN products_description ON (products.products_id = products_description.products_id) 
SET id ='.$id.',
name ='.$name.,' ,
quantity = '$_POST[quantity]', 
weight = '$_POST[weight]', 
price= '$_POST[price]', 


WHERE 'products.products_id' = 'products_description.products_id'";


//Execute Query
if (mysql_query($result))
header("Location: davesConnectDB.php");
else
echo  "Not Updated!";


 ?>

 It was updating but in the wrong record,  I have been working on this for a long time.

 

Help is greatly appreciated.

 

TY,

Turn on php error checking and you should see a bunch of syntax errors due to the missing quotes all over your html.

 

Are you really trying to create a separate table for each record in the query result?

What you really need to do is get rid of that obsolete, insecure and dangerous code and start using PDO like you should be. https://phpdelusions.net/pdo

 

And for gawd sake, stop echoing HTML.
