hi there
im a novice to PHP and have been trying to put together a form with two buttons that post a variable value. The value is tested and then php perfroms whatever action that value points to (Update or Delete). My problem is that when I click the button, the record is still there and I get no feedback inspite of having established it in the code:
Here are the buttons (called through include):
<form action="update_delete.php" method="post">
Player I.D. <input type="text" name="pid" maxlength=10 size=5><br>
<input type="Submit" value="Delete" name="Delete">
<input type="Submit" value="Update" name="Update">
</form>And here is the PHP:
<?php require_once("includes/connection.php"); ?>
<?php
$pid = $_POST['pid'];
if(isset($Update))
{
//Update stuff
}
else
if(isset($Delete))
{
$sql = "DELETE from player where id=$pid";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $connection)
or die("Database query failed: " . mysql_error());
echo "Row deleted!";
}
?>
<?php require("includes/footer.php"); ?>I'm not sure what to apply here...
