I need to learn more about arrays so I don't have to type out all of my data! :P But first, I'll get it working and then I'll redo it. It's a good exercise for me.


   L> File: update.php
<?
// .... More include stuff, blah, blah, blah....
$task_id = $_POST['task_id']; // Passed from the "HTML-ized" area of cron.php
$sql = "UPDATE tasks SET completed='1' WHERE id='".$task_id."' LIMIT 1;";
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Currently when I try and pass the variable from viewall.php to update.php by doing a <a href="update.php?$row[0]"> Click here!</A> I'm getting this error:

"[Fri Jun 15 16:10:10 2007] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined index: taskid in update.php on line 4"

and line 4 from the script looks like this:

$task_id = $_POST['taskid']; //Passed from the HTML-ized area of cron.php

Am I just totally missing something and making a very stupid newbie mistake? Or have I stumbled onto something that is at least mildly hard?


The latter....

Your line should look like this

<a href="update.php?taskid=$row[0]"> Click here!</A>

and you grabbing line should look like this

$task_id = (int)$_GET['taskid']; //Passed from the HTML-ized area of cron.php


   L> File: cronjob.php
<?
// .... Guess what goes here!....
$dow = (date("N") - 1);
$sql = "UPDATE tasks SET completed='0' WHERE day_of_week='".$dow."'';
mysql_query($sql);
?>

[cron]
40 03 * * * /path/to/cronjob.php >> /dev/null 2>&1


NOTE: This was entirely typed directly into the mail client, and NONE
of it was tested, so it probably has tons of bugs.



Actually, if I am reading it right, it doesn't have too many! :)
