Hello there, I'm having a problem on this one. I want to update my records, but when I click save, the specific fields/record is null. instead of updating/edit.

These is my PHP code for admin_view.php (This is the form where you can choose a specific record/field that you are going to update.)

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
      <?php
			include("connect-db.php");
			
				
			$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM emprofile");
		
			echo "<table border='5' cellpadding='10' align='center'>";
        	echo "<tr> 
			<th>Month</th> 
			<th>Employee No</th> 
			<th> Employee Name</th>
			</tr>";
			
			while($test = mysql_fetch_array($result))
			{
				$id = $test['number'];	
				echo "<tr align='center'>";	
				echo"<td><font color='black'>" .$test['Month']."</font></td>";
				echo"<td><font color='black'>" .$test['Employeeno']."</font></td>";
				echo"<td><font color='black'>". $test['Employeename']. "</font></td>";
				echo"<td> <a href ='admin_edit.php?number=$id'>Edit</a>";
				echo "</tr>";
			}
			mysql_close($connection);
			?>
    </form>

This is my PHP code in admin_edit.php (This is the form where the admin can update/edit a record)

<?php
require("connect-db.php");
$id =$_REQUEST['number'];

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM emprofile WHERE number = '$id'");
$test = mysql_fetch_array($result);
if (!$result) 
		{
		die("Error: Data not found..");
		}
				$month=$test['Month'] ;
				$empno= $test['Employeeno'] ;					
				$empname=$test['Employeename'] ;
				$salary=$test['Salary'] ;
				$allottee=$test['Allottee'] ;
				$relation= $test['Relation'] ;					
				$sss1=$test['sss'] ;
				$ph1=$test['ph'] ;
				$pagibig1=$test['pagibig'] ;
				$tax1= $test['tax'] ;					
				$total1=$test['total'] ;
				$sss2=$test['sss2'] ;
				$ph2=$test['ph2'] ;
				$pagibig2=$test['pagibig2'] ;
				$tax2= $test['tax2'] ;					
				$total2=$test['total2'] ;
				$tded=$test['totaldeduction'] ;
				$tsal= $test['totalsalary'] ;					
				$allotment=$test['allotment'] ;
				

if(isset($_POST['save']))
{	
	$month_save = $_POST['Month'];
	$empno_save = $_POST['Employeeno'];
	$empname_save = $_POST['Employeename'];
	$salary_save = $_POST['Salary'];
	$allottee_save = $_POST['Allottee'];
	$relation_save = $_POST['Relation'];
	$sss1_save = $_POST['sss'];
	$ph1_save = $_POST['ph'];
	$pagibig1_save = $_POST['pagibig'];
	$tax1_save = $_POST['tax'];
	$total1_save = $_POST['total'];
	$sss2_save = $_POST['sss2'];
	$ph2_save = $_POST['ph2'];
	$pagibig2_save = $_POST['pagibig2'];
	$tax2_save = $_POST['tax2'];
	$total2_save = $_POST['total2'];
	$tded_save = $_POST['totaldeduction'];
	$tsal_save = $_POST['totaldeduction'];
	$allotment_save = $_POST['totaldeduction'];

	mysql_query("UPDATE emprofile SET Month='$month_save', Employeename='$empname_save', Salary='$salary_save', Allottee='$allottee_save', Relation='$relation_save', sss='$sss1_save', ph='$ph1_save', pagibig='$pagibig1_save', tax='$tax1_save', total='$total1_save', sss2='$sss2_save', ph2='$ph2_save', pagibig2='$pagibig2_save', tax2='$tax2_save', total2='$total2_save', totaldeduction='$tded', totalsalary='$tsal', allotment='$allotment' WHERE number = '$id'")or die(mysql_error()); 
	echo "Saved!";
	
	header("Location: admin_view.php");			
}
mysql_close($connection);
?>

Anyone can help me? Thank you

your admin_edit.php is confusing. How can you edit the values, if you dont have them posted in a form values? You just have, click edit, then variables to straight to the database with no option of editing? Second you have

if(isset($_POST['save'])) {

again, no in a form, so how can you post using the save button?

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM emprofile WHERE number = '$id'");

to

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM emprofile WHERE number = '" . $id . "'");

Also is number an int or string, if int remove single quotes.

Works with and without for an int, and there is no need for splitting the string like that.
