 Posted: Thu 15 Nov '07 8:03 Post subject: Ghost writer? PHP question |
 |
|
I have a form that writes to a database. Which works fine except for two things. The first of which I called the ghost writer because no matter what I put in the field for the phone number it writes back to the database a phone number I did not enter.
Here is the code below:
| Code: |
<?php
//passing the variable
$order_list=$_POST['order_list'];
//Including the connection information
include "config.php";
//connect to the mysql server
$link = mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass) or die("Could not connect to MySQL");
//select the database
mysql_select_db($database) or die ("Could not select database");
//Getting all the variables
$query = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM clients WHERE order_id = ".$order_list, $link) or die("<center>There was an error and we could not load the Client list</center>");
//Putting the results in an array
$result = mysql_fetch_array($query);
?>

The other issue is with the checkboxes:
| Code: | <input name="on_camera" type="checkbox" value="1" <?php
if($result2["on_camera"] == "1") {
echo "checked";
}
?> |
Even with the $result2 equal to one it doesnt always display the check after the second time I update the page by clicking the update button. Meaning if I uncheck or check it, it writes back to the database correctly but if I pull sthe page up again through the search the boxes that I unchecked might still be check and the boxes I checked are no longer checked. I go into the database and the entery is the correct one.
Here is my update code for that:
| Code: | $client_id='';
$client_name=$_POST['client_name'];
$client_company=$_POST['client_company'];
$client_address=$_POST['client_address'];
$client_city=$_POST['client_city'];
$client_state=$_POST['client_state'];
$client_zip=$_POST['client_zip'];
$client_ph=$_POST['client_phone'];
$client_email=$_POST['client_email'];
$order_id=$_POST['order_id'];
$date_contacted = date("F j, Y");
// if field is not empty
if (isset($_POST['client_fax'])) {
// set the value
$client_fax = $_POST['client_fax'];
// if it is empy
} else {
// set the value to NULL
$client_fax = '0000000000';
}
// if field is not empty
if (isset($_POST['client_department'])) {
// set the value
$client_department = $_POST['client_department'];
// if it is empy
} else {
// set the value to NULL
$client_department = 'None';
}
// if field is not empty
if (isset($_POST['client_website'])) {
// set the value
$client_website = $_POST['client_website'];
// if not checked
} else {
// set the value to NULL
$client_website = '0';
}
// if checkbox is checked
if (isset($_POST['on_camera'])) {
// set the value
$on_camera = $_POST['on_camera'];
// if not checked
} else {
// set the value to NULL
$on_camera = '0';
}
// if checkbox is checked
if (isset($_POST['graphics_animation'])) {
// set the value
$graphics_animation = $_POST['graphics_animation'];
// if not checked
} else {
// set the value to NULL
$graphics_animation = '0';
}
//if no name entered send an error
if (empty($client_name)){
die("<center>No name was entered.<br>Please hit your back button in your browser and include your name.</center><BR>");
}
//if no email entered send an error

}
//if no phone entered send an error
if (empty($client_ph)){
die("<center>No phone number was entered.<br>Please hit your back button in your browser<BR> and include your phone number.</center><BR>");
}
//Including the connection information
include "config.php";
//connect to the mysql server
$link = mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass) or die("Could not connect to MySQL");
//select the database
mysql_select_db($database) or die ("Could not select database");
//update table orders

//Close first connection
mysql_close();

//$result2 = mysql_query($query_clients) or die( "An error has ocured: " .mysql_error ());
mysql_close();

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the $_POST a checkbox is "on" or "off" and not "0" or "1"

you should echo your build sql query to see what it selects. |
