Form Processing

[Daney11]

Hi guys.

 

Im stuck on something probably very simple.

My question is, I have created a form, with values within a script and a submit button. I want to use the form on the same script... For example

 

update_value.php

<form method="post" action="update_value.php">
<table width="654" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" class="outline">
<tr> 
<td width="168" height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><?php echo " $name "; ?>
<td width="168" height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><input class="shoutbox" name="value" type="text" value="<?php echo "$value" ?>" /></td>
<td width="318" height="20" align="left" valign="middle">
<select name="123" class="shoutbox">
<option value=1 selected>Goodbye</option>
<option value=2>Hello</option>
</select></td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="654" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr> 
<td height="1"><img src="images/1pspacer.gif"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="654" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" class="outline">
<tr> 
<td height="20" colspan="10" align="center" valign="middle"><input name="give" type="submit" class="shoutbox" value="Submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="654" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr> 
<td height="1">images/1pspacer.gif"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

 

Now, if i was to click on submit and run this script, how would i go about updating tables in my database with the $value attribute..?

 

Thanks

Iam nt sure if i gt the prob rite..

the action of the form is set to the same page so all that is required is get the values through post method and update it in the database..

if(isset($_POST["give"]))

{

$value=$_POST["value"];

 

}

Its not updating for some reason :S all values are correct and the sql query is correct too... Where do i put this? at the start of my script or at the end?
