Database Update/edit And Delete


i have spent the last few days trying to create a simple script to add/edit and delete entries in a mysql database with php. i have 1 database with 40 tables, each table has 3 fields (id, header and body)

i created an input page with input fields for header and body. the table to store the information in is selected from a drop down menu. all this works fine.

for some reason i cannot get the edit and delete page top work at all. would someone mind taking a look at the code and let me know what i am doing wrong? Code:

Simple Login Page To Delete And Edit Things In Mysql Database
How do I build a simple login page on my site? I need a way to login to my admin area in my webshop, so I can add, delete and edit things in mysql database. I don't need help with add, delete and change things, only the login thing.

The users should not even know that there is a admin login page. The users don't login to shop, they just shop so I can't use the user login page because there is no such page. Can someone please give me some guidelines for this?

Simplify Insert-update-delete From Database
I'm looking for some functions or objects allowing to
select-insert-update-delete from any table in a mysql database without the
need to create a new query every time. Example:

selectdatas(array('field1','field2','fieldn'),arra y('table1','tablen'),array('left
join,idy','inner join, idx'))

then the function build the query, execute it and then return an object with
the query result.

I must build a database driven site that is 90% of the time spent on
building queries. If I may avoid build them manually it will help me a lot
and let me gain some days of programming.

FFDB Edit And Delete
I've got a news program that you can upload the new news via a form, puts the data into a text file etc. I'm trying to find a way to delete certain lines from the txt file and to be able to edit them. I've played around with a few things but i just can't seem to get anything close to what i'm after.

I've looked around the web but all i can find is like "open the file > put into array > do what needs to be done > write back to the file" which isn't exactly that helpful. Could anybody point me in the right direction as to how to do this? maybe with a better description/example? =D

Edit Delete Form And Quotations
I have a form where I add a lot of ' and " for feet and inches into MYSql and most of this works fine except when I go back to the Edit/Delete Form.

It stores the ' and " in the database, reads and outputs the ' and " on my page but when I use the edit/delete form it cuts off at the '. Is there a simple solution to this on an edit/delete form ?

Define Files For View/edit/delete
I am working on this little file manager project, I know, there's lots out there. However, I couldn't find one that paged the results that didn't use a DB. Now that I have it set up (works great),

I'm not sure how to define the files and not mess up the paging - so that if it's a folder you can open it and work with the files, a photo you can view or delete it and if it's a .txt, .php. etc. you can edit it. Code:

Edit/update - All In One PHP Pages?
Let me explain how I'd generally do things. For a page where the user
edits data, I'd generally call it something like editfred.php (for
example), the page which updates the data would be called
updatefred.php and equally the page which processes a delete would be
deletefred.php. I like splitting the pages up this way, it feels less
cluttered and more organised than throwing all the functionality in one
fred.php.

Here's the problem though. If the user enters erroneous data into the
form editfred.php which is subsequently processed by updatefred.php
then that error needs to be reported to the user. Traditionally what
I've done is have updatefred.php list any errors it finds and then
provide a link to go back or ask the user to hit the back button on
their browser. This is no longer viable, instead I'd like to
automatically throw them back to editfred.php with all their data
already filled in and the fields causing errors to be highlighted. My
question is: what's the best way to do this?

There springs to mind several ways:

1) combine editfred.php and updatefred.php. Again, I'm not keen on this
but it does seem the most logical and programatically easiest.

2) use sessions to store the data, editfred.php would then check
for data in the session each time it's loaded. Is there a maximum data
size for use with session objects?

3) write code to wrap and store the data in a cookie which could then
be read by editfred.php, similar to sessions I believe. However max
cookie size is 4Kb which wouldn't be enough on some forms.

4) store the data from editfred.php in a table in the database which
again editfred.php would check for when loaded. overhead of db access
each time however.

How Can I Retrieve, Edit, And Update Text?
I'm trying to retrieve a text value from a MySQL database, put it into
an updateable form, allow edits, and send back the edited text back
into the MySQL database. I've been able to successfully retrieve the
text and put it into the editable form, using htmlspecialchars
function. But, I can't find a way of accepting the edited text and
sending back to the database.

Here's my code for retrieval.

<?php

@ $db = mysql_connect('localhost', '<database>', '<password>');
if (!$db)
{
echo "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again
later.";
exit;
}
mysql_select_db("<database>");

$query = "select * from albert where ".$searchtype." like
'%".$searchterm."%'";

$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$title = $row['title'];
$teaching = $row['teaching'];
$teaching = wordwrap($teaching, 60, "
", 1);
$teachnum = $row['teachnum'];
}
if ($result)
{

echo '<textarea name="newteachnum" rows="1" cols="4"
wrap="off">'
echo htmlspecialchars($teachnum)."
";
echo '</textarea>'
echo '<textarea name="newtitle" rows="1" cols="60"
wrap="off">'
echo htmlspecialchars($title)."
";
echo '</textarea>'
echo '<textarea name="newteaching" rows="20" cols="80"
wrap="on">'
echo htmlspecialchars($teaching)."
";
echo '</textarea>'


}
?>
<form action="teach_update.php" method="post">
<input type=submit value="Submit">
</form>

Here's the code to update the database.

<?php

@ $db = mysql_connect('localhost', '<database>', '<password>');
if (!$db)
{
echo "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again
later.";
exit;
}
mysql_select_db("<database>");

$newtitle = addslashes($newtitle);
$newteaching = addslashes($newteaching);
$newteachnum = addslashes($newteachnum);

$query = "update albert set title =". $newtitle . " and teaching =
". $newteaching . " where teachnum =" . $newteachnum ;

print $query; //the print shows nulls for $newtitle, $newteaching,
and $newteachnum. It seems like those values are not being held in
memory from the calling program teach_edit.php

//$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Could not update!");

// if ($result)
// {
// echo mysql_affected_rows()." text item updated into
database.";
// }
?>

OOP Page: Where To Put Update, Insert, Delete
I have a page that shows info from MySQL. It is for an online education
site. It uses different classes arranged in a hierarchy. Each lesson is
roughly laid out like this:

Lesson
|-Intro
|
|-Section
| |-Procedure
| |-text, video, images
|
|-Section
| |-Procedure
| |-text, video, images
|
|-Summary

I have all the classes working properly for displaying info from the
database. Now I am building the admin site.

Where should I put the update/insert/delete code? Would those go inside the
classes? Should I use the lesson object when doing the maintenance? Or,
should I just have a separate page that handles the database stuff and only
use the objects to display the data from the database?

Php/mysql Insert, Update, Delete All-in-one
I have a check box form in an admin area, that links various related tables into one.

These check box results are stored in an array, and then looped, there are in fact four groups of arrays, but the array length could become large (i.e. dozens - not hundreds)

The issue I have is that from the one form multiple things need to occur.

- If a box is checked and the record doesn't exist a new record needs to be inserted.
- If a box is checked and the record does exist, it should be ignored (as it already exists).
- If the box is unchecked and the record exists, it should be deleted.
- If the box is unchecked and the record doesn't exist it should be ignored (the record doesn't exists).

I'm looking for the logic and process (rather than being hand fed code ) Can this be done with 1 (or more likely 2) sql statements. Or do I have to loop thru the arrays, checking the existance and then applying a specific sql statement depending upon checked status and the records existance. Someone mentioned using IF() in the sql statement, but I am not familiar with that one.

Delete From Database
I have code that does not delete from a database. The same code (cut an
paste in the same file, but different function and having a different query)
works. So, of course, I tested the query interactively. I echoed the query
and did a cut and paste when interactively connect to the database. That
one worked so it isn't the query since interactively it is seeing exactly
the same thing as the code produces.

Here is the code:

function deleteCatalog($catalog) {
$query = "DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='" . $catalog . "'";
mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']);
$result = mssql_query($query, $Login);
...
}

The $query echos:
DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='CMP'

As an example of code that works (in the same file)
function addToCatalog($cat_id, $cat_name) {
$query = "INSERT INTO CatalogNames (sCatalogID, sCatalogName) " .
"VALUES ('" . $cat_id . "', '" . $cat_name . "')";
mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']);
$result = mssql_query($query, $_SESSION['Login']);
...
}

The second and third lines are identical (cut and pasted) as in other places
in the same code. In fact, it is only in this file that I do all the
database work. Every other function works. This is the only delete,
however.
