Hey guys,
I'm trying to write a peice of code that basically checks if the input field have been submitted, it is an update code so I have designed it so that when the user clicks "update" another page displays saying "well done object updated".
However when i do this the (isset($_POST)) bit of code is not reading it as being completed, it just comes up with my errors, "You forgot to enter an id" etc.
My code is:
CODE FOR INPUTTING:
echo '<html><head><link rel= stylesheet href= style.css ></head>
<p><h2>Update Existing Event…</h2></p>
<strong>Please do not leave blanks</strong>
<table background="#29552E" border = 1 align = "center" width = 120% cellspacing ="1" cellpadding = "4">
<form action = updateprice.php method = POST>
<tr bgcolor = #00688B >
<td width = 4%><b>ID</b></td>
<td width = 4%><b>Name</b></td>
<td width = 8%><b>Price</b><font size = 1><br>(numbers only)</b></td></tr>
';
if ($result){
//fetch and print
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
$bg =($bg =='#FFCC99 '? '#ffffff': '#FFCC99');
echo '<tr >
<td> <input type = text size = 30 id = id value ="' . $row['id'] . '" disabled></text></td>
<td> <input type = text size = 30 id = it value = "' . $row['item'] . '"</text></td>
<td> <input type = text size = 10 id = pr value = "' . $row['price'] . '"</text></td>
</tr>';
}//end while
echo'
<tr>
<div align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update" /></div>
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" />
</tr>
</form>
</table>';
CODE FOR CHECK SUBMITTED:
<?
//check form values
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])){
//make a one time connection to the database
require_once('../sqlconnect/connect.php');
//set up an errors array
$errors = array ();
//check id
if(empty($_POST['id'])){
$errors[] ='You forgot to enter an id ';
}else{
$ud_id = escape_data(htmlspecialchars($_POST['id']));
}//end id
//check item
if(empty($_POST['item'])){
$errors[] ='You forgot to enter a name ';
}else{
$ud_item = escape_data(htmlspecialchars($_POST['item']));
}//end item
//check price
if(empty($_POST['price'])){
$errors[] ='You forgot to enter a price ';
}else{
$ud_price = escape_data(htmlspecialchars($_POST['price']));
}//end price
}//end if $_POST['submitted']
?>
Cheers
