update or alter?

[vijukumar]

here is my table

CREATE TABLE `invoice` (
`invoice_id` tinyint(4) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`company_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`issue_date` int(11) NOT NULL,
`invoice_title` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`country` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`invoice_number` int(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
`payment_method` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`payment_due_date` int(11) NOT NULL,
`payment_plan` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`paid` int(5) unsigned NOT NULL,
`paid_date` int(11) NOT NULL,
`added_date` int(11) NOT NULL,
`modified_date` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`invoice_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=5 ;

please tell the query so that when i click edit for corresponding invoice_id should get updated by retreiving the corresponding invoice_id im able to get the corresponding values for editing but not able to update please pass me the query for the above table
thanks in advance

Hi vijukumar,
just because you press a button, nothing is going to be executed unless you program a script that does it (connect to a database, build the UPDATE query from FORM values and executes the query against the database). Maybe you're using some framework that does it for you but then you probably don't need to know the query as the framework should do all the work for you. You probably 'only' need to know more about the framework to know what is its built-in function for updating entities that you display in an edit form. Can't help you with this.

The final query will look something like this:
UPDATE `invoice` SET company_name = 'blah blah', issue_date = 123, .... .... WHERE invoice_id = 456;

Like I said, this is useless for you unless you have a script that fills in the attribute_name = attribute_value pairs.

hi
i did not go through ur code but i do understand tat u want a code for edit & update...if so use the below code

1 st page where allthe retrived data is will be in the fields
here i have used id in session ,to pass the get the id from 1 st page to 3rd page

<form method="post" action="update2.php">
<?php
$hostname = "";
$username = "";
$password = "";
$dbid = "";
$link=mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
mysql_select_db($dbid) or die("unable to connect"); 
$query="SELECT * FROM personal where id='$_SESSION[id]'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ('Error in query: $query. ' . mysql_error());
for ($i = 0; $i < 1; ++$i)
{
$line = mysql_fetch_row($result);

print '<tr><td>Name</td><td><input type="hidden" name="name1" value="'.$line[1].'"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="nname1" size="53" value="'.$line[1].'"></td></tr>';

print '<tr><td>Date of Birth</td><td><input type="hidden" name="dob" size="53" value="'.$line[13].'"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="ndob" size="53" value="'.$line[13].'"></td></tr>';
print '<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="spid" size="53" value="'.$line[0].'"></td></tr>';
print '<tr><td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update"></td></tr>';
print '</table>';
}
mysql_close($link);
?>

</form>

2nd page contains the update command

<form>
<?php
$hostname = "";
$username = "";
$password = "";
$dbid = "";
$link=mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
mysql_select_db($dbid) or die("unable to connect"); 
$nname1=$_REQUEST['nname1'];
$ndob=$_REQUEST['ndob'];
if (isset($_REQUEST['submit'])) 
{ 
mysql_query("UPDATE personal SET name='$nname1',doj='$ndoj') or die("ERROR:".mysql_error());
echo "Thank for Updating";
}
mysql_close($link);
?>
</form>

[lydia21]

if u want to use where then

mysql_query("UPDATE personal SET name='$fieldname1',doj='$fieldname2' where name='$hiddenfield')

hiddenfield name is the name of the field tat is hidden,it will contain the old value

Hi vijukumar,
your source code would be much easier to read if you used code tags when pasting it into this forum. Please edit your post and add them.

I noticed that you incorrectly name the input fields:

echo "<input name='$company_name' type='text' value='$company_name' class='typeforms'>";

You should remove the first dollar symbol:

echo "<input name='company_name' type='text' value='$company_name' class='typeforms'>";

I don't know what database wrapper you're using so I can't tell you which method you should call for a simple query execution. Attach the source code if you want me to have a look. The simplest method would be

mysql_query("update invoice set company_name='$company_name'
where invoice_id='$line'");

This would update only the company name, of course. You have to add other attribute=value pairs for other attributes. Also, it's better to use $_POST or more general $_REQUEST arrays because $company_name will contain your form values only if register_globals is on.

Also it looks like you're not passing $line variable in the form. Add a hidden attribute with $line value.

I guess this answers all your questions, doesn't it? Let me know if I missed something.
