Posting data with PHP into MySQL

[andygsy]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why the following 'gets' the data fine from the database but wont post back in when clicking on the submit within the form (named as 'save'):

<?php
require("inc/conn.php");
if(! isset($_COOKIE['admin'] )) {
header("Location: admin.php");
}
if(isset($_POST['save'])) {
$itemTitle = $_POST['itemTitle'];
$content = $_POST['content'];
$category = $_POST['category'];
$link = $_POST['link'];
if(isset($_POST['itemID'])) {
$itemID = $_POST['itemID'];
$sql = "UPDATE items SET itemTitle = '" . $itemTitle . "', content = '" . $content . "', category = '" . $category . "', link = '" . $link. "' WHERE itemID = " . $itemID;
if ($result = mysql_query($sql)) {
header("Location: controlpanel.php");
}
}

}
if(isset($_GET['itemID']) ) {
$itemID = $_GET['itemID'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE itemID = " . $_GET['itemID'];
if ($result = mysql_query($sql)) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$itemTitle = $row['itemTitle'];
$content = $row['content'];
$category = $row['category'];
$link = $row['link'];

}
}else{
$name = 'new item';
}
?>


Cheers for the help.

comment out the header and echo out the query. add the 'or die(mysql_error())' to teh mysql_query and see what goes wrong.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I've commented out the header and add the php as suggested and the page displays the ID number for the record being viewed but when clicking submit the page loops (?) and nothing is posted into the database.

Cheers,
