Hello. OK won't post my messy code just yet, but the Problem;

A user can UPDATE a text field consisting of a headline and a text
field. This is posted into a 'text div' below. when logged out, the form and editable fuctions vanish and we have a normal web page.

A user can add a text field
which consists of a 'headline' and a 'text'.
But does not then become editable or viewable, just simply
posts into the msql database.

So. HOW DO I GET THE ID AND THEN EDIT THE ID ON THE SAME PAGE? Happy to send the code to anyone interested in having a go at this.

post your code here, use code tags

this is text_make.php

<?php
session_start(); 
if ($_SESSION['uname']){$logged_in ='true'; }
$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

include("admin/dbconnect.php"); 


$id = $_REQUEST['text_id'];
//$id = mysql_insert_id();
$sql2="SELECT * FROM text_boxes WHERE $id = text_id";
mysql_insert_id();
$result=mysql_query($sql2);
if ($result){
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($num > 0){
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$text2 = $row['text'];
$headline2 = $row['headline'];


// Use \n for newline on all systems
$text2 = preg_replace("/(\r\n|\n|\r)/", "\n", $text2);

// Only allow two newlines in a row.
$text2 = preg_replace("/\n\n+/", "\n\n", $text2);

// Put <p>..</p> around paragraphs
$text2 = preg_replace('/\n?(.+?)(\n\n|\z)/s', "<p>$1</p>", $text2);

// Convert newlines not preceded by </p> to a <br /> tag
$text2 = preg_replace('|(?<!</p>)\s*\n|', "<br />", $text2);

 }

and here is update_text.php..

}else{

mysql_select_db("free lancer") or mysql_error();
$sql=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `userdetail1`");
$result=mysql_fetch_array($sql);
?>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <table width="356" border="0">
    <tr>
      <th width="168"><span >UserName</span></th>

Ajax/JS would be useful for dynamic update of page (add/edit functions), although not essential.

I've only scanned your code, I'm afraid - long tracts give me a nose-bleed!

You could have a list of posts (headline and bodytext) with a clickable image linked to a js command. This loads a lightbox with a form linked to the post id via hidden field value. The lightbox form is sent to an ajax js function which runs the mysql functions and updates the particular div holding the edited post.

You could also have an 'Add New Post' image which pops up a similar lightbox, but has a value of 'new' in the hidden field. The form is sent to an ajax/js function which adds a new record into the DB and appends a div to the page holding the new info.

The images (add and edit) do not appear if the user is logged out.

Just a thought.

Have a look at the home page. You probably should be looking at web design. Then start a new thread. :^)
