[SOLVED] Help Needed!

[studgate]

I am trying to understand what's that mean??

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['editid']) && (int)$HTTP_POST_VARS['editid']>0 ){
  echo '<pre>'; print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS);
	$strsql = "UPDATE report set date, artist, info, ..., ...  FROM report";
	$ressql = mysql_query($strsql);

 

& this one:

if (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['editid']) && !isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['editid'])){
	$strsql = "SELECT date, artist, info, ..., ...  FROM report";
	$ressql = mysql_query($strsql);
	if (mysql_num_rows($ressql)>0){

 

Please explain it so I can understand a little, I am new.

I am trying to understand what's that mean??

//Conditional statement asking if there is a variable named editid in the $_POST array [b]AND[/b]is it as an integer greater than 0
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['editid']) && (int)$HTTP_POST_VARS['editid']>0 ){

//IF the above conditional evaluates to true, then echo to the screen the $_POST array
  echo '<pre>'; print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS);
                //also create a variable name $strsql that will be used to update existing data in report table(although that ... crap and the FROM do not belong in the update)
	$strsql = "UPDATE report set date, artist, info, ..., ...  FROM report";
	$ressql = mysql_query($strsql);

 

& this one:

//READ WHAT I SAID FO THE LAST SECTION AND YOU TELL US WHAT ALL YOU THINK THIS ONE DOES(HINT: SELECT RETURNS DATA STORED IN THE DATABASE)
if (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['editid']) && !isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['editid'])){
	$strsql = "SELECT date, artist, info, ..., ...  FROM report";
	$ressql = mysql_query($strsql);
	if (mysql_num_rows($ressql)>0){

Thanks magic2goodil! I got it now.

the second condition simply ask to see if

there is no such variable,  create one that connects to the

report table and get the data from the report table.

Is that right?

[magic2goodil]

Pretty much

Thank you very much!
