i have a problem with this code regarding in counting..
index.php
<?php
if(isset($_GET['btnsubmit'])){
$can = array($_GET['pres'],$_GET['vp']);
mysql_connect('localhost','root');
mysql_select_db('sample_poll');
foreach($can as $val){
$sql = mysql_query( "UPDATE candidate SET votes=votes+1 where can_id='".$val."'" );
}
echo "<h1>vote complete!</h1>
<a href='voteresult.php'>see all vote results</a>";
}else{
echo "<form method='get'>";
mysql_connect('localhost','root');
mysql_select_db('sample_poll');
$sql = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM candidate WHERE category='president'" );
echo "<h4>President</hr><table> ";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo "<tr><td>".$row['can_names']."</td> <td><input type='radio' name='president' value='1'></td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
$sql2 = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM candidate WHERE category='vice-president'" );
echo "<h4>Vice-President</hr> <table>";
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($sql2)){
echo "<tr><td>".$row2['can_names']."</td><td><input type='radio' name='vice_president' value='2'></td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
echo"<p><input type='submit' name='btnsubmit' value='VOTE'></p>";
echo"</form>";
}
?>it works very well..but when i select candidates and see the result of votes,it didn't count..
here's the displayvotes.php
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost','root'); // i use default, but use your custom DBMS log-in
mysql_select_db('sample_poll'); // sample database, i user your name.. hehe
echo "<h3>vote results</h3>";
$sql = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM candidate WHERE category='president'" );
echo "<h4>President</hr>
<table>
<tr>
<th>name</th><th>votes</th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo "<tr>
<td>".$row['can_names']."</td><td>".$row['votes']."</td>
</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
$sql2 = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM candidate WHERE category='vice-president'" );
echo "<h4>Vice-President</hr>
<table>
<tr>
<th>name</th><th>votes</th>
</tr>";
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($sql2)){
echo "<tr>
<td>".$row2['can_names']."</td><td>".$row2['votes']."</td>
</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
