mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
header(Refresh: 2);
echo "Congratulations! Yout Profile is Updated<br>
} else {
header(Refresh: 2);
echo "Your Profile didn't Update";
?>

does any one know how to fix that?

theirs a ton of errors

here the last part fixed ( well kinda)

if ($_POST['update']){

$sql= "update users set fullname='$fullname', aboutme='$aboutme' where id='{$_SESSION['id']}'";
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
header(Refresh: 2); //<<--you have already send data to the page
echo "Congratulations! Yout Profile is Updated<br>";
} else {
header(Refresh: 2);//<<--you have already send data to the page
echo "Your Profile didn't Update";
}
?>

recommend a re-write

pleeze can someone tell me what im doing wrong!!

ive been trying this for 3 days :(

If line 76 is the last line, you might want to notice that - as posted - the script fails to close the final else { look.

rallokkcaz · April 27, 2007

it closed i get no error's

which is really odd

it just doesn't update

do you think it might have to do with

the

WHERE id='$id'"

because i don't really understand what that does

rallokkcaz · April 27, 2007

anyone

rallokkcaz · April 27, 2007

can someone be a nice person and make a simple update form script for me

because im way too much of a noob to do this

sanfly · April 27, 2007

This is more or less how I would do it, keeping as much to your old script as possible.

Regarding your old script, I couldnt work out why you were using the switch in there? Anyway....

Please note I have left a space where you need to update the session values after the insert

<?php
ob_start();
session_start();
//include config.php file
include('../config.php');
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<style>
.words
{
background-color:#16333B;
color:#A9D033;
}
</style>
<?php
$p = $_GET['p'];
//see my ?id= browsing tutorial
if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])){ ?>
<form action='../login.php' method='POST'>
	You Must Be logged in to View this page!<br>
	Login here:<br>
	Username: <input type='text' name='username' class='words'><br>
	Password: <input type='password' name='password' class='words'><br>
	<input name='login' type='submit' value='Submit' class='words'><br>
	Not <a href="../register.php">registered</a>?
</form> 
<?php
exit();
}
else{

if($_POST['update']){
	// Get Posted Variables...
	$fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
	$password = md5($_POST['password']);
	$aboutme = $_POST['aboutme'];
	$email = $_POST['email'];
	$id = $_SESSION['id'];

	// Get Sandy's record from the "example" table
	$result = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET fullname = '$fullname', password = '$password', aboutme = '$aboutme', email = '$email' WHERE id = '$id'") or die(mysql_error());  

	// wILL NEED TO UPDATE THE SESSION VALUES HERE



echo "<B>Profile Updated</B><br><br>";

?>
<form name="update" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST">
<table  cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="400">
<tr>
    	<td wdith="35%">Username:</td>
    		<td><?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?></td>
  	</tr>  
  	<tr>
    	<td>Full Name:</td>
    		<td><input type="text" name="fullname" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['fullname']; ?>" /></td>
  	</tr>
  	<tr>
    	<td>Password:</td>
    		<td><input type="password" name="password" value="" /></td>
  	</tr>
	<tr>
    	<td>About Me:</td>
    	<td><textarea height="200px" width="300px" input type="text/html"  name="aboutme" value="" /><?php echo $_SESSION['aboutme']; ?></textarea></td>
  	</tr>
  	<tr>
    	<td>Email Address:</td>
    	<td><input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['email']; ?>" /></td>
  	</tr>
  	<tr>
    	<td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="update" value="Update Profile" ></td>
  	</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?
} ?>
