PHP :: Displaying Data In A Editing Form

Displaying Data From Mysql Database In A Drop Down List On Form.
I'm trying to do is display data from two different mysql tables from the same database in a drop down list on a html form. I have a fixtures table with the player1(userid), player2(userid), gameid, game, score1 and 2, what I want is to use the userid to get the players first name and surname from the members table (as it is a unique id), I need to do this bit before displaying it in the drop down. I think i need 2 querys to do this but when I have tried it it just echo's a blank value or the userid not the forname and surname that I want. I'm using the fetch_array function but just can't see where I'm going wrong, Code:

Editing Data
What i want to do is edit details that have been taken from mysql database and display them in a text box.

I'm under standing what I’ve done so far which was to bring the job id code of the job that i want to edit from another page and i no the code to edit but what i can’t do is display the job data into a text box so it can be seen and edits can be made. All the books and website and forms I’ve read don’t show how to display the data to a text box or it’s so complicated that i don’t have a clue what’s going on? Code:

Editing And Overwritting Data In .txt File
I have a page whereby a text area is shown, and the initial value of it uses php to display the contents of the .txt file so that a user to update the paragraph of text shown and click submit to overwrite the .txt file with new information. The problem is i have no idea how to code it so that i can make the .txt file be over written. Code:

Making A Basic Data Editing Page
Alright, I want a page where the administrator has rights to edit the user data by msql_query("UPDATE..."); I know how to do this no problem

Because some fields are drop down menus or fields and most of the old data is entered taking the info from the SQL database. How can I make it so if you only change the username so it won't change the password and the email and so on.

Form Editing
I am trying to call information from a MySQL database in for form of an editable form. I want the info to be called into a box that can by typed in and so far that works.

What I want to do next is to be able to change what is in those boxes and click an update button which updates what was called from the database to what I typed in the box. The code I wrote is below and almost works. I'm not sure what the problem is. Code:

Editing Mysql Db Using A Php Form
I am working on a Sig Request database. People submit their request using a form and it's posted into a databse and then displayed beneath the request form. This is working fine. I am having trouble however with my edit.php file.

I want to be able to load a users information, which I have done using this code below. It displays in a form. I change 1 or 2 of the fields, such as the completed field and designer field and click update but it doesn't actually update the database.

The page first lists all the requests. It lists their ID, Name and then it says "Edit this Request" which opens a page with their sig request details in. Here is my code below for the edit.php file. Code:

Editing HTML In A Form?
I want to build a very basic online text editor, to allow customers to
modify their own sites' html content using a simple form with textarea
element.

I read the HTML file like so:

<?PHP

function EditText ($filepath)
{
if (!$file = file($filepath)) return false;
foreach ($file as $line) {
$value .= $line; // contains all text in file when done
}
$html = "<html><head><title>Editor</title></head>
<body>
<form method='post' action='processtext.php'>
<textarea rows=ཤ' cols=ྌ' name='txt' value='$value'>
<input type='submit'>
</form>
</body>
</html>";
echo $html;
return true;
}

EditText ('/sample/index.html');
?>

The problem comes when the parsed file containing html elements itself
is echoed to the browser. In itself, PHP does what it's asked, but all
browsers I tried choke on the contents of the TEXTAREA field. Best
example may be: try parsing the file containing the script itself, it
becomes a real mess.

I tried htmlspecialchars, this did not fix it. I tried addslashes to
only escape the quotes in the parsed file, also no success.

I saw one example online where 'they' preg_replaced about every possible
(x)html and php syntax element, resulting in an immensely large and slow
script. Can't imagine that's the proper way forward.

If at all possible I'd like to stay away from Javascript. Any idea if
this is a realistic approach? Are there any useable scripts available? I
searched google a lot, but I keep ending up at sites that offer html or
php editors for local use, not in a browser.

Class For Editing Mysql Data From A Users Point Of View
I was wondering if you know of any good php class for editing mysql data from a users point of view. Kind of like PHP My Admin but then really simple and efficient.

I have a look at www.phpclasses.org, but have not been able to find anything.

Editing Text File With A PHP Form
I am trying to do something with PHP that i am sure is pretty easy. But not sure myself how to do it.

I have a file that i want to pull into a simple HTML Form text field. From that field the person can just add in content or remove content.. Click "Update" .. And it will write the new content out.. Overwriting the old file if need be.

Editing Submitted Form Using Variables
I'm working an e-mail form for my web page. I want people to be able to fill out information and when the click submit, get a page that basically says, "Here is the information, is it correct?"
Then they can click either, "Yes" (and it sumbits), or "No", and it goes to another page set up like the form filled out the first time, and grabs the variables and places them in the "values". This is the code I have so far: Code:

Editing Datase Entries Via A Form
How would I go about editing a row in a database via a form? I know how to get the information in the text boxes. But what i would like to do is list all the rows in the database and then if i see that one of the rows needs editing or deleting i'll have 2 links under each entry (edit and delete)...and when i click "edit" it would open up a new page with a form with all the info in each text box so i can edit and then re-submit it...

Editing Text Files In Form Textareas?
I want to pull text files into a form text area and then edit them. to open the file I am using:

$toEdit = fopen ("../content/concept.txt", "r+"); which does not work at all unless I change the path to c:xxxxxxxxxx but I dont want to do that. If I use the hard coded path I get permission denied, if I change the file to read only it seems ok - however, I want to load it into a form textarea? Cant work this out, then I want to save it.

Its just to update a simple text schedule. there will be no special characters that need escaping etc. This is probably a pretty basic question but I have been asked to do this ASAP and my attempts so far have just confused me!

Displaying Data
Probably a really stupid question to ask, but if i have a number in mysql lets say 180000 and it represents a price is there a way to change that to 180,000 without saving it in the database like that?

Inputing And Displaying Data
i have a website that will list certain shops in my area. i want these shops to be displayed in a table with 4 columns on my website, the first being the name of the shop and when you click on the shop it links you to there website. the rest of the columns will be different images depending on what service they provide.

i thought i could create a form that allows me to input the name of the shop etc, but each time i submit the form it adds the information to my database and creates a new row each time i submit a new shop on the table on my website page.

im very new to php and sql so it would be helpful if you could link me to a tutorial that sort of tells you how to do this or add me on msn.

plus i was just wondering if it is worth buying a book about php and mysql or should i stick to online tutorials. if it is, please recommend me some.

Grabbing Data From A Table And Displaying It

Displaying Data Based On Variable
A Newbie to PHP so please forgive any ignorance of simple methods.

I am trying to develop a site that is driven by a MYSQL database. Dependant on which domain you have been redirected from I need to somehow pickup the domain redirected from and set a global constant to only pull from relative MySQL data e.g FOO = xyz.

This site will obviously have multiple users and I need a way to ensure that user A will be browsing xyz while user B will be browsing abc.

The way I can think of but not entirely sure how to get working in PHP is to assign a Value to the session (FOO) and then on database queries uses WHERE foo_ID = (FOO).

PHP MySQL Query Not Displaying Data
I am having some problems with a database query that I am trying to do.
I am trying to develop a way to search a database for an entry and
then edit the existing values. Upon submit, the new values are updated
in all corresponding tables (the function of the pages in question).
However, on the page that does the DB update, I also want to do some
checks on the data before performing the update.

Now, the problem that I am running into is that when I don't update the
primary key field (keyid) the page is running into the section where it
displays a message that the keyid already exists. This only happens
when the keyid on the previous page is not changed.

Upon troubleshooting the problem I found that the very first SELECT
statement does not seem to be returning any rows despite the fact that
the statement, when run on the SQL server, returns exactly one row. If
any could provide some assistance with this matter, I would be most
appreciative.

Code:
<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); //IE 6 Fix

//continue if authenticated
if ($_SESSION['auth'] == 1)
{

//get variables from post
$keyid = $_POST['keyid'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$corpid = $_POST['corpid'];
$usergroupname = $_POST['usergroupname'];
$oldkeyid = $_POST['oldkeyid'];
$oldcorpid = $_POST['oldcorpid'];
echo("Keyid: $keyid");

// Connect to MySQL
mysql_connect ("address.com", "user", "pass")
or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' .
mysql_error());
//select database on server
mysql_select_db ("seniorproject");

//SQL Statement
$sql = "SELECT keyid, corpid FROM users
WHERE keyid='".$keyid"'";

// Execute the query and put results in $result

$result = mysql_query( $sql )
or die ( 'Unable to execute query.' );
echo mysql_result($result,0);

// Count number of matches and print to screen
$numrows = mysql_numrows( $result );
if ($numrows == 1)
{echo(" SQL Query: $sql");
$result_ar = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$result_ar = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$dbkeyid = $result_ar['keyid'];
$dbcorpid = $result_ar['corpid'];
echo("<br> CorpID: $corpid <br>");
echo(" DBCorpid: $dbcorpid <br>");
echo(" DBKeyID: $dbkeyid <br>");
if($dbcorpid == $oldcorpid)
{
//If this condition is true, then KEYID has not changed. Execute
code

// Formulate the query

$sql = "UPDATE users
SET corpid = '".$corpid."', username = '".$username."',
usergroup = '".$usergroupname."', keyid = '".$keyid."'
WHERE keyid = '".$oldkeyid."'";........

Displaying Rows Of Data As Columns?
Does anyone know of an efficient way to retreive data from a mysql db
and display the record rows as collumns?

I have been doing this:
<display headers>
<while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { >
<display row 1 of result>
<display row 2... } >
<end table>

but I want to do this instead:
<col 1 header > <row 1 col 1> <row 2 col1> <row3 col1>
<col 2 header> <row 1 col 2> <row 2 col2> <row3 col2>
<col 3 header> <row 1 col 3> <row 2 col3> <row3 col3>

Question About Displaying MySQLl Data
Could someone point in the correct direction with regards to displaying my
data in "nicer" format. I have figured out ( with the tutorials on the web,
and the O'Reilly PHP & MySQL book) how to store, retrieve, manipulate, and
display my data using PHP. But when I do display, it is the block format.
I can't seem to find a tutorial that gets into a "prettier" type of display.

Is this a HTML issue?

I am a newbie to this stuff

Displaying Data In Html Table.
I wondered if anyone could offer some guidance, I trying to write a
php script to connect to a database, and display the records in a
table.

I found the code here in a php4 text, and when I run this directly
through the php intrupeter, the line Successfully connected is display
and 4 as the number of rows.

The database table we connect to, has three field username, firstname,
surname.

When I tried a while loop, to display the data in a table. No values
were displayed.

Could anyone possibly demonstrate how to display the username,
firstname, surname values in a basic table?

<?php
function db_connect(){
global $MYSQL_ERRNO, $MYSQL_ERROR;

$link_id = mysql_connect("localhost","user04", "password04");

if(!$link_id){
$MYSQL_ERROR = "Connection failed";
return 0;
}
else if(empty($dbname) && !mysql_select_db("database04")){
$MYSQL_ERROR = mysql_error();
return 0;
}
else return $link_id;
}

!$link_id = db_connect();
if(!$link_id) die(error_message('Error connecting'));

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");
if(!$result) error_message('Error in selection');
else echo "Successfully connected. ";

$query_data = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$total_records = $query_data[0];

if(!$total_records) error_message('No records');
else echo "$total_records.";
?>

Displaying Line Breaks From MySQL Data
when i retrieve data from a MySQL database which i have put line breaks in they do not show in html, i understand that this is because HTML ignores spaces unless they are formatted as   i know i could use the <pre> tag to show it as it was given, which removes all styling from the text, i need to convert the breaks in MySQL into <br> or <br><br> (to start a new paragraph)

Combining Data From Two Fields, Displaying With Another Table
What I am trying to do is pull data from two tables and display it on one page. The code below doesn't display any errors, but all it prints is the results from the first query. Ideas? Thanks.

(I also need to somehow put a variable in for the warranty table data so it is tied to the product_status table data. You can see there is a WHERE in the first query of pid, but no WHERE in the second query. That is a seperate question, though. It would make this way too long, so I will post it separately).

Values Not Displaying In Second Form After Post.
I have two forms that are used to collect user information. The first one
takes user inputted values such as fullname, city, address etc. I want these
values to display in the second form when it is called. Both forms are .htm
files that call themselves when the submit button is press via the following
command in each form:

<form method="post" action="<?php $server['PHP_SELF']?>">

The server is set to parse .htm files as php. Everything else is working
fine and all the validation checks are working fine. Based on certain
validation checks that are within the form php code, the user is either left
on the input form page to correct errors or if there are no errors the user
is passed to the next form via a Java call....

<script language="javascript">

</script>

I have even put a session_write_close() before the redirect hoping this
would fix the problem of not displaying the inputted values from the first
form into the second form.

The server value for global variables is set to ON.

In the second form I have tried to display the values from the first form
after the POST using the following three methods:

$fullname;
echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['fullname'];
echo $_POST['fullname'];

Nothing works...

Displaying Variables In Form Objects
I'm trying to display information within a lookup box and a text area box. Here's the code for the form objects:

<TEXTAREA NAME="BodyText" CLASS="InputTxtBoxes" MAXLENGTH="10000" COLS="100" ROWS="20" VALUE="<?php echo $BodyText ?>"></TEXTAREA>

<SELECT NAME="AuthorName" CLASS="InputTxtBoxes"><OPTION VALUE="<?php echo $AuthorName ?>"></OPTION>

When I print these variables out they do contain the correct values, but when I try and display them within these form objects they don't work at all. The BodyText is stored in a blob in the database and usually contains relatively large amounts of data (300 - 500 words). Any ideas?

Comparing Form Data To Mysql Data
Im interested in building a script that would take form data, a variable like an address, and compare it with a known address in a mysql table (called addresses), then if there is a match log the address information in a separate table called (addresslog), and return the visitor to a certain page. If there is no match between the address entered in the form and known addresses then the information is still logged into the addresslog database but the visitor will be sent to a different page.

I'm still new to this, and am working through the logic and the syntax, but I believe I'm close. It's still not working, I have all of the proper tables, maybe I'm way off with the coding so I thought I would seek out some expert advice. Here's the entire script with as much explanation as I could give. PHP Code:

Signup Form Displaying Wrong Passwords (PASSWORD HASH)
I recently created a signup form with a user password. The forms are working, however, when I retrieve the record in MySQL the passwords are jumbled numbers and letters -not the correct passwords.

I believe this is called password hash. Why is the hash generated? I created a few user accounts but I can't login as the password entered is not the same as the myslq password generated by the hash..??

How are users suppose to login? What if they lose their password...how do I send them their password if I have a 'password hash'?

Getting Data From Mysql To Put Into Form
i am trying to set up a page that will allow the user to select a name from a list. The details of this name(ie, last name,address, job etc) are then taken from a database and put into a form. If any changes are needed the user makes them then presses a submit to update the database.

I can get the information out of the database and into the form fields but i have one small problem...

In the address field i can only get the first part of the address...
ie

if the address is 123 Sample Street

only 123 gets put into the form field.

How do i get the rest of the address to appear?

i am sure it is quite simple but cant quite put my finger on the answer!

my code is:

Address: <input type="Text" name="address" value =<?php echo $myrow["address"] ?>><br>

where $myrow is the array holding the results from my database query.

Any help would be appreciated!
