self submission form

mishuk · February 14, 2007

Hi. I am trying to create a script that encorporates self submission.

When i run the script i am given the "add student form heading" but then nothing else

why is this ?

<?php
if($_POST['submit'] == 'submit') {
// Check all fields have been filled out
if (!$_POST['forename'] || $_POST['forename'] == "") {
 $message =  '<p> Please select a forname <p>';
} else {
   // connect to database
   $conn = mysql_connect("....", ".....", "......") or die(mysql_error());
   mysql_select_db(".......", $conn) or die(mysql_error());

  //assign variables to $_POST
 $forename =($_POST['forename']);

 // insert data into tbl_student
 $addstudent = "INSERT INTO tbl_student (forename)
   		       VALUES ('$forename')";

  $result = mysql_query($addstudent) or die(mysql_error());

   if (mysql_affected_rows() == 1)
   	{
		$message = '<p>Entry added.  Would you like to <a href=\"student.php\">add another</a></p>';
		}
	else
		{
		error_log(mysql_error());
		$message = '<p>Something went wrong</p>';
		}
	}

// show the form in every case except successful submission
if (!$noform_var) {
$thisfile = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$message .= <<< EOMSG
<FORM method = "post", action="$thisfile">
<input type="text" size="20" name="forename">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Add Student">
</FORM>
EOMSG;
}
}
?>

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css"></style>
</head>
<body>
<table border=0 cellpadding=10 width=100%>
<TR>
<TD><H1>Add Student Form</H1>
<br><br>
<?php echo $message; ?>
</body>
</html>

Thanks

I think you have a curly bracket in the wrong place...and where is $noform_var being set? Try this...

<?php
if($_POST['submit'] == 'submit') {
if (!$_POST['forename'] || $_POST['forename'] == "") {
	$message =  '<p> Please select a forname <p>';
} else {
    	$conn = mysql_connect("....", ".....", "......") or die(mysql_error());
    	mysql_select_db(".......", $conn) or die(mysql_error());

	$forename = ($_POST['forename']);

	$addstudent = "INSERT INTO tbl_student (forename) VALUES ('$forename')";
	$result = mysql_query($addstudent) or die(mysql_error());
	if (mysql_affected_rows() == 1) {
		$message = '<p>Entry added.  Would you like to <a href=\"student.php\">add another</a></p>';
		} else {
 		error_log(mysql_error());
			$message = '<p>Something went wrong</p>';
		}
	}
} else {
$message .= '
	<FORM method="post" action="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '">
		<input type="text" size="20" name="forename">
		<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Add Student">
	</FORM>';
}
?>

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css"></style>
</head>
<body>
<table border=0 cellpadding=10 width=100%>
<TR>
<TD><H1>Add Student Form</H1>
<br><br>
<?php echo $message; ?>
</body>
</html>

Cheers that seems to have done the trick. however I am not trying to do a drop down menu that selects from a database. It doesnt seem to work. I know its something to do with putting the code into the table however I am unsure how to fix it. Is it to do with quotes

Thanks
