Up Date User Information

proctk · April 22, 2006

Below is code that I'm using to display a users information . I'm trying to figure out how I can change this so that it can be used to update a users information via a form call UpdateMyInformation.php

thank you for any help

[code]
<?php session_start(); ?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Get My Info</title>
</head>

<body>
<?

include 'db.php';

$username = $_SESSION['username'];
echo($username);

// note, if userid is not a numeric type column, then $userid must be quoted
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'";
$result = @mysql_query($query);

if(!$result)
{
 trigger_error("SQL ERROR: ".mysql_error()." Query: $query",
 E_USER_WARNING);
}
elseif(mysql_numrows($result) != 1)
{
 trigger_error("DB ERROR: There were multiple matches on this User ID",
 E_USER_WARNING);
}
else // we got exactly one match on the User ID
{
 echo "<center>Database Output</center> ";

 // only 1 match, so we don't need a loop
 $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
 extract($row, EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, "user");
 mysql_close();

 echo <<<END

$user_first_name $user_last_name 
Date of Birth: $user_DOB 
Address 
Street Address: $user_Street_address 
Other Mailing Information: $user_post_office_box 
City: $user_city 
Province: $user_province 
Postal Code: $user_postal 
Home Phone Number: $user_home_phone 
Email Address: $user_email_address 

<hr> 
END;
}

?>
</body>
[/code]

updateinfo.php can be something like this:

[code]
<? //mysql query calling for the data you want to be updated to fill in the values in the form below ?>
<form name="update" action="process.php" method="post">
Field Name : <input type="text" name="field_name" value="<? echo $row->field_value;?>">
Field Name1 : <input type="text" name="field_name1" value="<? echo $row->field_value1;?>">
Field Name2 : <input type="text" name="field_name2" value="<? echo $row->field_value2;?>">
</form>
[/code]
on the process.php page, something like this:

[code]
<? if ($_POST['field_name']){
mysql_query("UPDATE `tablename` SET `field_name`='$_POST[field_name]', `field_name1`='$_POST[field_name]1', `field_name2`='$_POST[field_name2]'") or die (mysql_error());
echo "fields updated!";
?>
[/code]

again, this is very basic..it bypasses other common and useful things you may want to use like check for blank/invalid entries, strip any tags someone may enter into a form field, check for duplicates (like duplicate username or email if that is what's updated), etc etc.
