hi.. i took your idea...
i put the error reporting code at the top of the script and ran it as the
problem was still there to see what would happen.. instead i get 0 messages
from the reporting system and all i get is the last 7 chars of the print
line and the }?> at the end of the script... so for instance if i do:
print("<input type=\"text\" name=\"company\" value=$new['company']\n");
or any variance of that statement changing around the \" and apostrophes
around to try different things all i get is the rest of the script starting
from the \n all the way to the rest of the script where it says }?> at the
end dont know if this is a bug or not but its getting hard to figure out
what the problem with my echo or print statements are...
here is the whole script:
its supposed to get all fields and then display in input text boxes the
current values in that certain record i know i missed some stuff in it with
the query but at this point was supposed to be a test to see if i could even
put it in the box in the first place... but here is the code:
<html>
<head>
<title>edit member</title>
</head>
<form action=edit1.php method=post>
pick some of these:<br>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
mysql_connect("192.4.5.6", "root", "");
mysql_select_db("wata");
$result=mysql_query("select * from members where company like 'test'");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
print("<input type=text name=company value=\"$row[company\"]>\n\n");
}
?>
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>
</html>
/*end*/
any changes to make it work would be appreciated...tnx
