srhino

Recommended Posts

Ok I am having trouble figuring this out...For some reason this is not updating my changes

I have two sheets...the first is

<?php
$tournid = $_GET['id'];
$con = mysql_connect("xxxxxxxx","xxxx", "xxxxx") or die('Sorry could not connect to database at this time');
mysql_select_db("srhino", $con)or die('Sorry, could not connect to database');



$query = "SELECT * from Contacts where tournid =$tournid";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Sorry, could not get tournaments at this time');
if (mysql_num_rows($result) ==0){
echo "<h3> Sorry, There are no tournaments at this time, please try back later.</h3>";}
else
{
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$tournid = $row['tournid'];
$tourname = $row['tourname'];
$location = $row['location'];
$month = $row['month'];
$day = $row['day'];
$year = $row['year'];
$days = $row['days'];
$contact = $row['contact'];
$phone = $row['phone'];
$fax = $row['fax'];
$cell = $row['cell'];
$email = $row['email'];
$address = $row['address'];
$website = $row['website'];
$notes = $row['notes'];
$poster = $row['poster'];

echo


"<form action=\"dowork.php\" method=\"post\">
<table>
<tr><td>Tournament Name:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"tourname\" value=\"$tourname\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>Location:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"location\" value=\"$location\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td colspan=\"2\" align=\"center\">Month:<input type=\"text\" size=\"2\" name=\"month\" value=\"$month\">
Day:<input type=\"text\" size=\"2\" name=\"day\" value=\"$day\">
Year:<input type=\"text\" size\"4\" name=\"year\" value=\"$year\">
# of Days:<input type=\"text\" size=\"2\" name=\"days\" value=\"$days\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>Contact:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"contact\" value=\"$contact\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>Phone:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"phone\" value=\"$phone\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>Fax:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"fax\" value=\"$fax\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>Mobile:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"cell\" value=\"$cell\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>E-mail:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"email\" value=\"$email\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>Address:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"address\" value=\"$address\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>Website:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"website\" value=\"$website\"></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>Notes:</td><td><textarea rows=\"10\" cols=\"50\" name=\"notes\" value=\"$notes\"></textarea></td></tr><br>
<tr><td>Posted By:</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"poster\" value=\"$poster\"></td></tr><br>


<TR><TD colspan=\"8\" align=\"center\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"content\" value=\"update\"></TD></TR>

</table></form>";

}}?>


This is really where I think the problem is...when I change the query and take out the "where tournid='$tournid'"; part the page updates all records...when I put it in it won't update anything...

<?php

  $tournid = $_POST['tournid'];
  $tourname = $_POST['tourname'];
  $location = $_POST['location'];
  $month = $_POST['month'];
  $day = $_POST['day'];
  $year = $_POST['year'];
  $days = $_POST['days'];
  $contact = $_POST['contact'];
  $phone = $_POST['phone'];
  $fax = $_POST['fax'];
  $cell = $_POST['cell'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $address = $_POST['address'];
  $website = $_POST['website'];
  $notes = $_POST['notes'];
  $poster = $_POST['poster'];

if (trim($month == ''))

  {

  echo "<h2>Sorry, each tournament must have a month</h2>\n";

  }else

  {

$con = mysql_connect("xxxxxxx","xxxxx", "xxxx") or die('Could not connect to server');
    mysql_select_db("srhino", $con) or die('Could not connect to database');


$query = "update Contacts set tourname ='$tourname', location='$location', month='$month', day='$day', year='$year', days='$days', contact='$contact', phone ='$phone', fax='$fax', cell='$cell', email='$email', address='$address', website='$website', notes='$notes', poster='$poster' where tournid = '$tournid'";


$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Sorry, we could not post your scoring to the database at this time');


if ($result)

  echo "<a href\"dowork.php\"><h2>Scoring posted</h2></a>\n";

  else

  echo "<h2>Sorry, there was a problem posting your tournament</h2>\n";

  }

  ?>

 

Please help

In your second "sheet" as you call it, $_POST['tournid'] doesn't exist because it doesn't exist in your form.

 

I'm not sure if it'll work, but you can try changing it to $_GET['tournid'] and then on your first "sheet,"

 

Find:

"<form action=\"dowork.php\" method=\"post\">

 

Change to:

"<form action=\"dowork.php?id=$tournid\" method=\"post\">

 

 

Hope that helps.

 

PS: Next time, don't give out personal sensitive data such as your database connection values in your second "sheet"

I'm sorry I am really new at this and I still cant figure it out...I have triued all the things you suggest and it's not working.

 

I have figured out that it has something to do with my query. When I take out the WHERE clause in my query on the update page it will update...but it changes every record...when I put in a WHERE CLAUSE that says WHERE tournid = 'tournid' the form stops working but pretends like it works...in other words it gives me the scoring posted comment although it doesn't actually update.

 

Thanks

Just noticed a minor thing in your code.

 

On your second "sheet"

 

Find:

if (trim($month == ''))

 

Replace with:

if (trim($month)=='')

 

 

First of all, if you changed the variable $tournid to tournid, it wouldn't work. And can you post your updated code? Just the second "sheet"
