<?
++$i;
}
?>

should be

<?php
$i++;
}
?>

Try to avoid php short tags if possible.

<head>
<title>Terminkalender Change form</title>

mysql_select_db($db , $link)

It assumes only one record for a particular ID. You should also sanitize your form input ($_POST) before putting it to work in an SQL statement.

<form method="POST" action="terminkalender_dbase_interface.php">
<input type="submit" value="DBase Interface">
</form>

The change record form was in the other piece of code,not the one you've just posted. If it doesn't work, it's because the form processing code (which you've posted) doesn't work.
There's no content to the form you've included. What is this supposed to do?

ANyway. Is this your problem after you upload the script:

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '12345');

It could be that you access your remote DB like this from your website. Do you have your local website access a local DB and then your live site access a remote DB?

sorry for the late response just back from work.

as jou said it''s not the change form i post as last

i would say give a try at http://www.johndohmen.uni.cc/narrengilde/terminkalender/terminkalender_dbase_interface.php

jou can insert, delete and display the records, but i cannot update becauase update record dosn't work.

and it's not the

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '12345');

because i change the root and the password to the correct one before i upload al.

Thanks in advice (i hope my english is good enough).

Later i want to put all to this http://www.johndohmen.uni.cc/narrengilde/Terminkalender.html and thats all html code that wy i am making it to php mysql.
John

OK now I see

The problem is on terminkalender_change_record.php

I believe I've mentioned this:

> Try to avoid php short tags if possible.

You use this notation:

<?
...
?>

Try this:

<?php
...
?>

It may look trivial, but many servers don't support 'short tags'.
I looked at the source code for:

http://www.johndohmen.uni.cc/narrengilde/terminkalender/terminkalender_change_record.php

and got:

<html><head> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> 
<title>Terminkalender Change Record</title></head> 
<body> 
 
<?
$id=$_POST['id'];
$datum_wann=$_POST['datum_wann'];
$treffpunkt_zeit=$_POST['treffpunkt_zeit'];
$auftritt_zeit=$_POST['auftritt_zeit'];
$treffpunkt_wo=$_POST['treffpunkt_wo'];
$was=$_POST['was'];
$wer_geht_mit=$_POST['wer_geht_mit'];
$wer_tanzt=$_POST['wer_tanzt'];
$kleidung=$_POST['kleidung'];
$db="wordpress";
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', '@@@', '@@@@@');
if (! $link)
die("Couldn't connect to MySQL");
mysql_select_db($db , $link)
or die("Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error());
mysql_query(" UPDATE terminkalender SET datum_wann='$datum_wann' , treffpunkt_zeit='$treffpunkt_zeit' , auftritt_zeit='$auftritt_zeit' , treffpunkt_wo='$treffpunkt_wo', was='$was', wer_geht_mit='$wer_geht_mit', wer_tanzt='$wer_tanzt', kleidung='$kleidung' WHERE id='$id'");
 
mysql_close($link);
echo "Record Updated";
?> 
 
 
<form method="POST" action="terminkalender_dbase_interface.php"> 
<input type="submit" value="DBase Interface"> 
</form> 
</body> 
</html>

PHP should never be shown by html. Could be a disaster - imagine if you included your MySQL user/password details!! So - USE <?php to start.

> Please wil you delete the code That you just post.

OK, I have written over the mysql details! Sorry, I didn't see that when I posted. I was being serious when I posted my comment. Ha ha ha. That could have ended in tears! :)

Anyway, just to be safe, it may be worth changing your details as they didn't look difficult to crack!

johndohmen1963 0 Light Poster · Answer 7 · 2011-03-17T05:42:32+00:00

and goodnight
