Foolish php update db error 3

WilliamMute007 · Apr 13, 2011

Can anybody please help my foolishness pls? For the life of me, I cant really spot why my DB is not updating.

Code:

<?php
//turn on error tracking
ini_set('display_errors', true);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

//get connection variables
require_once('connection.php');

//connect to database server
mysql_connect($hostname_Connection, $username_Connection, $password_Connection) or die("Unable to connect to db " . mysql_error());

//connect to database
mysql_select_db($database_Connection)
            or die("unable to select database. ". mysql_error());

//check if form submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
 //create escaped variables
 $heading = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['heading']);
 $summary = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['summary']);
  $news = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['news']);
 $author = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['author']);



 
 //construct query
 
 
$query="INSERT INTO `voiceofhop3`.`news` (`id`,`heading`,`summary`,`news`,`author`, `date`)  VALUES (NULL,'$heading','$summary','$news','$author',NOW())";
 //run query
 $result=mysql_query($query);
 if (!$result) { die (mysql_error()); }
 
 //success
 die("<META http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0;url=/index.php\">");
 echo "Process successful";
} else {
 echo 'Please referesh your browser';
 echo "<hr/> hmmmm  <br/><pre>" . print_r($_POST, true);
}
?>

Please help

There's nothing in that code that updates anything. You are INSERTING new rows every time.

Perhaps you can explain a bit more what is not happening and whether or not you get any errors.

Assuming your table name is voiceofhop3news why are you separating the strings? There's no point in doing that.

Thanks vacunita. Actually, I dont mean update, I meant to say insert. I simply wanted to insert a few values from a form into a table called "news" in the voiceofhop3 database.

Thanks for your help with this.

Can you answer Phil's question, please?

Perhaps you can explain a bit more what is not happening and whether or not you get any errors.

I thought I gave an explanation? no? Ok let me have another go

I dont get any error message, the screen just echo's the array of data sent from the form and that's it. I actually want it to populate the database with these information NOT display them on the screen as it is doing right now.

jpadie · Apr 13, 2011

if there is a successful insert the browser is immediately redirected.
You will never see a message saying 'successful' because of the die();

if you are seeing anything on your screen then it is because the $_POST['submit'] variable is not set. perhaps you named it 'Submit' or something else.

WilliamMute007 · Apr 13, 2011

Hi Justin,

I've tried that too (renaming the submit button). It doesnt solve it

If it would help, here is my form

Code:

		<form action="cms_new_news_process.php" method="post" id="contactform">
											<p>Your Information</p>
											<p>
												<label for="summary">News Header *</label>
											</p>
									
											<pre><input type="text" name="heading2" id="heading2" value="" size="22" />
											</pre>
						
                        
                        <p>
												<label for="summary">Summary in BRIEF *</label>
												<input type="text" name="summary" id="summary" value="" size="22" />
										  </p>
									
											<pre></pre>
                        
                        
			  <p>
												<label for="news">Message *</label>
												<textarea name="news" id="news" cols="58" rows="10"></textarea>
										  </p>
											<pre></pre>
                                            
                                          <p>
											  <label for="author">Announcer *</label>
												<input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="" size="22" />
										  </p>
										
											<pre></pre>
											<div class="loading"></div>
							
											<div>
                                            
                                            <input type="submit" class="button" value="submit" />
                                            
                                            </div>
										</form>

and my retrieving of the posted info

Code:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
 //create escaped variables
 $heading = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['heading']);
 $summary = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['summary']);
  $news = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['news']);
 $author = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['author']);
{/CODE]

Thanks

jpadie · Apr 13, 2011

try getting rid of the last few lines and ending with this

Code:

echo $query;
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo 'Data inserted at record ' . mysql_insert_id();

also explicitly set error reporting at the start of the script

Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', true);

WilliamMute007 · Apr 13, 2011

Hi Justin,

I just tried that but now the pageis just blank, no information is displayed. Here is what the code looks like now

Code:

<?php
//turn on error tracking
error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', true);
//ini_set('display_errors', true);
//error_reporting(E_ALL);

//get connection variables
require_once('connection.php');

//connect to database server
mysql_connect($hostname_Connection, $username_Connection, $password_Connection) or die("Unable to connect to db " . mysql_error());

//connect to database
mysql_select_db($database_Connection)
            or die("unable to select database. ". mysql_error());

//check if form submitted
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){
 //create escaped variables
 $heading = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['heading']);
 $summary = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['summary']);
  $news = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['news']);
 $author = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['author']);



 
 //construct query
 
 
$query="INSERT INTO `voiceofhop3`.`news` (`id`,`heading`,`summary`,`news`,`author`, `date`)  VALUES (NULL,'$heading','$summary','$news','$author',NOW())";
 //run query
 mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo 'Data inserted at record ' . mysql_insert_id();
 }
?>

jpadie · Apr 13, 2011

well here you are testing for Submit whereas your form code is submit

let's try this

Code:

<?php
//turn on error tracking
ini_set('display_errors', true);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

//get connection variables
require_once('connection.php');

//connect to database server
mysql_connect($hostname_Connection, $username_Connection, $password_Connection) 
	or die("Unable to connect to db " . mysql_error());

//connect to database
mysql_select_db($database_Connection)
	or die("unable to select database. ". mysql_error());

//profile the form data
$fields = array('heading','summary','news','author');

//check for form submission
$test = 'Submit';
//check if form submitted
if(isset($_POST[$test])):
	foreach ($fields as $field):
		$$field = isset($_POST[$field]) ? mysql_real_escape_string(trim ($_POST[$field])) : '';
	endforeach;
 
	$query="INSERT INTO `voiceofhop3`.`news` (`id`,`heading`,`summary`,`news`,`author`, `date`)  VALUES (NULL,'$heading','$summary','$news','$author',NOW())";
 	//run query
 	mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error() . "\nQuery was: $query");
	echo 'Data inserted at record ' . mysql_insert_id();
else:
	echo "<pre>The field $test was not submittted.\nThese are the submitted fields:\n".print_r($_POST, true) ."</pre>";
endif;
?>

WilliamMute007 · Apr 14, 2011

Hi Justin,

I have tried that and this is the message:

"The field Submit was not submittted.
These are the submitted fields:
Array
(
[heading2] => Test Heading
[summary] => This is a brief summary
[news] => This is the message
[author] => The author
)"

Thanks

jpadie · Apr 14, 2011

then you are not submitting any 'submit' button.

so I suspect that the data is being sent to the browser by javascript or similar. why not share the full code for the form?

WilliamMute007 · Apr 14, 2011

Hi Justin,

Here is the code for the form

Code:

	<div class="form">
										<form action="cms_new_news_process.php" method="post" id="contactform">
											<p>Your Information</p>
											<p>
												<label for="summary">News Header *</label>
											</p>
									
											<pre><input type="text" name="heading2" id="heading2" value="" size="22" />
											</pre>
						
                        
                        <p>
												<label for="summary">Summary in BRIEF *</label>
												<input type="text" name="summary" id="summary" value="" size="22" />
										  </p>
									
											<pre></pre>
                        
                        
			  <p>
												<label for="news">Message *</label>
												<textarea name="news" id="news" cols="58" rows="10"></textarea>
										  </p>
											<pre></pre>
                                            
                                          <p>
											  <label for="author">Announcer *</label>
												<input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="" size="22" />
										  </p>
										
											<pre></pre>
											<div class="loading"></div>
											
											<div>
                                            <input type="Submit" class="button" value="Submit" />
                                            
                                            </div>
										</form>

Hi

Actually jpadie was right on 13 Apr 11 16:22 :

jpadie said:
if you are seeing anything on your screen then it is because the $_POST['submit'] variable is not set. perhaps you named it 'Submit' or something else.

WilliamMute007, nameless [tt]form[/tt] elements can not be submitted.

Feherke.

jpadie · Apr 14, 2011

nope. that is definitely not the code for the form that is being submitted.
If it were, then there would be an entry for "Submit' in the POST array.
please supply the whole of the browser rendered code for the page. i.e. copy and past the view-source from a web browser.

Isnt it? umm. Here is the page render:

Lots of js....
Load the page in ff disable JavaScript and then submit the form.
That should work. If it does then you need to look at your js. Probably in script.js.

As feherek points out:

feherke said:
WilliamMute007, nameless form elements can not be submitted.

Your submit button still doesn't have a name.

Code:

...
 <pre></pre>
                                            <div class="loading"></div>
                                            
                                            <div>
                                            [red]<input type="Submit" class="button" value="Submit" />[/red]
                                            
                                            </div>
...

If you are checking for $_POST['Submit'] or $_POST['submit'] there needs to be an element with that name.

At this point though I have no idea what you are checking for anymore. However giving your submit button a name and checking for that name in your If statement should make it work.

Code:

 <pre></pre>
                                            <div class="loading"></div>
                                            
                                            <div>
                                            <input type="Submit" class="button" value="Submit" [red]name='submit'[/red] />
                                            
                                            </div>

Then this will evaluate to true instead of false, and run the rest of your code:

Code:

if(isset($_POST['[red]submit[/red]'])){
...

FAAAANTASTICA!! Vacunita you are a star! I cant beleive Feherke pointed it out earlier but I foolishly missed that point (slap myself). I knew it had to be something so minute like that gosh! lol. Thanks Justin also for your valuable help too. You all rock!

I had assumed you were working on the other form. As that one had named elements.
