UPDATE query not working properly...

Expand Post »
Ive done several echo's and such to make sure info is in my variables before. When i do the first update on the page, i think the second one is running too. Either way, my record is being deleted for whatever reason...

Aside from some help with the current setup, i would like to know if there is another way of splitting up the sumbits, or if the current way i am doing this is sufficient enough.

[php]<?
// editusernew.php
// by Ryan Wood

// TODO: Gets a user name then sets all of the information in input boxes to be UPDATED.

// REQUIRES //
require ($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/backend/config.php");
$connection = @mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_password) or die("Error: Could not connect to MySQL server");
mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/backend/checklogin.php');
// END REQUIRES //
?>

$user = $_GET["user"];

$query = "SELECT * FROM userinfo WHERE user_name ='$user'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

$id = 0;

if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_object($result);
$id = $row->autoID;
?>

$query2 = "UPDATE userinfo SET user_name='$txt_username' WHERE autoID='$id'";
mysql_query($query2, $connection);
//}

Re: UPDATE query not working properly...

Hi Woobag,
you should use
Quote ...
'<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>'
instead of
Quote ...
'<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>'
There is no problem with your UPDATE statement since php echo it nicely,but you've used $PHP_SELF incorrectly.
I hope this help you.
Good luck.

Re: UPDATE query not working properly...

Thanks for the help mostafadotnet, but my problem appeared to be not the actual update query itself. Once i hit the first submit button the query was running with an "empty" value because it had not gotten the values from the POST. Therefore i simply adding an if statement correcting this flaw. Took me a week of on and off debugging to find that thing!
