Hi can anyone help me with this?
I have been failing to get any forms working with PHP now I have run out of
ideas? Having bought 3 books the latest one being php & mysql for
dummies(which might be appropriate for me) I am still failing at this hurdle.
the following script is a classic example taken straight out of the book, I
get round the $PHP_SELF problem ok but then all the script does is loop back
to itself?
<!-- Program Name: mysql_send.php
Description: PHP program that sends an SQL query to the
MySQL server and displays the results.
-->
<html>
<head>
<title>SQL Query Sender</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$user="root";
$host="localhost";
$password="";
/* Section that executes query */
if (@$form == "yes")
{
mysql_connect($host,$user,$password);
mysql_select_db($database);
$query = stripSlashes($query) ;
$result = mysql_query($query);
echo "Database Selected: <b>$database</b><br>
Query: <b>$query</b>
<h3>Results</h3>
<hr>";
if ($result == 0)
echo("<b>Error " . mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error() . "</b>");
elseif (@mysql_num_rows($result) == 0)
echo("<b>Query completed. No results returned.</b><br>");
else
{
echo "<table border='1'>
<thead>
<tr>";
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_fields($result); $i++)
{
echo("<th>" . mysql_field_name($result,$i) . "</th>");
}
echo " </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>";
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($result); $i++)
{
echo "<tr>";
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
for ($j = 0; $j < mysql_num_fields($result); $j++)
{
echo("<td>" . $row[$j] . "</td>");
}
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</tbody>
</table>";
}
echo "<hr><br>
<form action=$PHP_SELF method=post>
<input type=hidden name=query value=\"$query\">
<input type=hidden name=database value=$database>
<input type=submit name=\"queryButton\" value=\"New Query\">
<input type=submit name=\"queryButton\" value=\"Edit Query\">
</form>";
unset($form);
exit();
}
/* Section that requests user input of query */
@$query = stripSlashes($query);
if (@$queryButton != "Edit Query")
{
$database = " ";
$query = " ";
}
?>
<form action=<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>?form=yes method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right"><b>Type in database name</b></td>
<td>
<input type=text name="database" value=<?php echo $database ?> >
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top"><b>Type in SQL query</b></td>
<td><textarea name="query" cols="60" rows="10"><?php echo $query
?></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit
Query"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am floundering badly!
