No Errors just no results! form populated by a query for editing
OK, Lemme try to explain this. I have been looking at this ol’ PHP book I have had for some time. One of my teachers gave it to me. Now I am not blaming it on the book but I just can’t seem to figure out what the heck is going on with this form.
This form displays a user record with the fields populated with the current data being in each text box for display and editing. Would be a useful little bugger if I could get the fields to populate. I am not getting an php error. nor a mysql error either. I asume that it gets the query but I am trying to display it wrong or I messed up somewhere.
If you can help that would be nice. By the way I know that the previous form is posting the right information because when you look at the source of the parsed page the number $id is there in the hidden form field. The problem lies in this page somewhere.
Thanks in advance!
[code=php]
<?php
if (!$_POST[id]) {
header( “Location:http://www.eriescene.com/xml/turbodbadmin_0.1.2/users.php”);
exit;
} else {
session_start();
}
if ($_SESSION[valid] != “yes”) {
header( “Location:http://www.eriescene.com/xml/turbodbadmin_0.1.2/users.php”);
exit;

$db = mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection)

Did I mention that the values=”” in the html of the form are empty? so it is right here in my syntax. but I can’t figure it out everything is paralel to my book
