    Simple field update???

    Thanks for that Jpadie... I tried your code and it did not work... firstly it did not loop, only showing the first record and secondly it did not actually update the record it showed either... I assume that the {$row_Recordset1['prod_cat']} Updated! inside the frame should display the...

    Simple field update???

    I can't get this to work... maybe it is the setup of the rest of the page... can you have a quick look... <body> <p>Changing category <?php echo $_GET['val1']?> to <?php echo $_GET['val2']?></p> <p>Updated Records</p> <?php do { ?> <table width="650" border="0" align="center"> <tr>...

    adding text field value to a url

    adding text field value to a url

    There are 2 reasons I was going post instead of get... first is I assumed through what I have done that get only allows you to sent 1 variable and although I have not said as much above I want to send 2 variables.... the second reason is that I need to use URLencode or another similar...

    I have created an edit record page that has two dropdown menus in it that are populated by another recordset in the database... when they are populated they display the stored value of the record as the default unless that value has a special character(case in point a designer by the name of...

    passing an ampersand

    ah yes, sorry ... I had another look at what I was doing and it all makes sense now... it was changing the ambersand in the href above that was causing me problems and made me think that I needed to use a urldecode... once I changed the &amp; back to & it all worked fine... what you said about...

    passing an ampersand

    ...and then there is the question of urldecode... Again I am trying to get my head around it, but I just can't figure it out... I assume that the function needs to affect the following code?? - am I getting warm or am I way off... can you give me any hints??? $colname_view_des_cat = "-1"...

    passing an ampersand

    Thanks for the hint... I have been looking around a bit and cant for the life of me figure out how to use the urlencode function on a href like this... <a href="catalogue.php?page=des_cat&designer="<?php echo $row_view_catalogue['designer']; ?>"> can anyone give me an idea? (obviously it...

    passing an ampersand

    Hi... if I am passing a string variable from one page to another that contains an ampersand I get all sorts of problems... I know there are special characters like &#38; and &amp; but if these values are saved in an SQL file then it still passes the ambersand and not the special charcter...
