Hello:
I have a form which I would like to update. I want the form to display the current values in the table. Then, the person can change (type over) the existing values with new values. And then update the table with the new values.
When I run my script, I’m able to select the record I want to display. The form displays the current values of the record. When I try to change a value and click Submit, the old value keeps re-appearing. The new value is disregarded.
Can someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong?
The first step of this process is selecting the record. This is the code for record selection. This script is named app_admission_update.php.
[code=php]
<?php
include(‘header_admin.html’);
require_once(‘mysql_connect.php’);
?>
<fieldset><legend>Please select a client</legend>
<form action=”app_admission_update_pg1.php” method=”post”>
<p><label for=”client_id”>Client Name:</label>
<select name=”client_id”>
<option value=””>- Please Select -</option>
<?php
$query=”SELECT * FROM client”;
$result = @mysql_query ($query) or die (mysql_error());
while($row=@mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$client_id = $row[‘client_id’];
$client_name = $row[‘client_name’];
print ‘<option value=”‘ . $client_id . “” >” . $client_name . “</option>n”;
}
?>
</select>
</p>
<p><label for=”blank”> </label><input type=”submit” name=”btnSubmit” id=”btnSubmit” value=”Submit” class=”btn” /></p>
<input type=”hidden” name=”submitted” value=”TRUE” />
</fieldset>
</form>
=======
The next step displays the current values for the selected record and should allow me to change the values. The name of this script is app_admission_update_pg1.php. The reason for _pg1 is that the form has 7 pages. I would like the person to go through the pages, make their changes, and in the end do one update. This is the code for displaying the current values.
[code=php]
<?php
session_start();
ob_start();
require_once (‘mysql_connect.php’);
$query=”SELECT * FROM client WHERE client_id = $_POST[client_id]”;
$result = @mysql_query ($query) or die (mysql_error());
if ($result) {
while($row=@mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$_SESSION[‘client_id’] = $row[‘client_id’];
$_SESSION[‘today_date’] = $row[‘today_date’];
$_SESSION[‘app_complete_name’] = $row[‘app_complete_name’];
$_SESSION[‘app_date’] = $row[‘app_date’];
$_SESSION[‘relation’] = $row[‘relation’];
$_SESSION[‘phone’] = $row[‘phone’];
$_SESSION[’email’] = $row[’email’];
}
}
?>

</form>
======
The final script is the actual update query. After clicking Submit, the following script should be run: app_admission_output_process.php.
[code=php]
<?php
session_start();
ob_start();
require_once (‘mysql_connect.php’);
$query = “UPDATE client SET
today_date=CURRENT_DATE, app_complete_name=’$_SESSION[app_complete_name]’, app_date=’$_SESSION[app_date]’,
relation=’$_SESSION[relation]’, phone=’$_SESSION[phone]’, email=’$_SESSION[email]’
WHERE client_id=’$_SESSION[client_id]'”;
$result = mysql_query ($query) or die (mysql_error());
?>
========
I know my problem is in the second script which displays the values. For some reason the script is not retaining the new values. I have a session started at the beginning of each script.
I hope someone can help me out. Thank you in advance.
