Re: [PHP-DB] Stuck on basic concept, how to .. here's how
John, Thanks, you just saved me a whole bunch of time! That's too bad. I'm guessing that the process of re-establishing a resource isn't too intensive so it's not a choke point for any application. It's interesting to see how different languages attack similar problems Have a great weekend. Doug John W. Holmes wrote: You can't pass resources. You connect on each PHP page.

[PHP-DB] Problem, please help!
Hi,
I have not used this site in a while and have a
problem. I can't get anything to save to the
database. :( Not sure what is wrong, need a fix fast
as the site needs to be active in a few days by the
latest so hopefully I can get help in that time. The
code is a bit messy I know but here goes:
tip.php
?php
include('cookie.php');
?
?php
mysql_connect (localhost);
mysql_select_db (tipping);
$qr = mysql_query(SELECT *
FROM `fixture1` LIMIT 0 , 30 ) or exit(Home Away
season completed!);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($qr);
echo .$row['roundname']. brbr;
echo Form Action='tip1.php' METHOD='POST'
enctype='multipart/form-data';
echo input name='game1' type='radio'
value='.$row['team1'].' .$row['team1']. v
.$row['team2']. ;
echo input name='game1' type='radio'
value='.$row['team2'].'br;
echo input name='game2' type='radio'
value='.$row['team3'].' .$row['team3']. v
.$row['team4']. ;
echo input name='game2' type='radio'
value='.$row['team4'].'br;
echo input name='game3' type='radio'
value='.$row['team5'].' .$row['team5']. v
.$row['team6']. ;
echo input name='game3' type='radio'
value='.$row['team6'].'br;
echo input name='game4' type='radio'
value='.$row['team7'].' .$row['team7']. v
.$row['team8']. ;
echo input name='game4' type='radio'
value='.$row['team8'].'br;
echo input name='game5' type='radio'
value='.$row['team9'].' .$row['team9']. v
.$row['team10']. ;
echo input name='game5' type='radio'
value='.$row['team10'].'br;
echo input name='game6' type='radio'
value='.$row['team11'].' .$row['team11']. v
.$row['team12']. ;
echo input name='game6' type='radio'
value='.$row['team12'].'br;
echo input name='game7' type='radio'
value='.$row['team13'].' .$row['team13']. v
.$row['team14']. ;
echo input name='game7' type='radio'
value='.$row['team14'].'br;
echo input name='game8' type='radio'
value='.$row['team15'].' .$row['team15']. v
.$row['team16']. ;
echo input name='game8' type='radio'
value='.$row['team16'].'br;
echo input name='submit' type='submit'
value='submit'/formbrbr;
?
The above page loads the right values from the
database and a form is in the page that saves to the
next page and meant to update the database. Out come
below:
tip1.php
?
if ($REQUEST_METHOD == POST) {
$usr = tassie_jerry;
$pwd = s2390lpTAS225;
$db = tassie_tipping;
$host = localhost;
$cid = mysql_connect($host,$usr,$pwd);
mysql_select_db($db);
// NOTE that form fields automatically
become variables
$sql = UPDATE round1 SET game1='$game1' ,
game2='$game2' , game3='$game3' , game4='$game4'
, game5='$game5' , game6='$game6' , game7='$game7' ,
game8='$game8' , misc='y'
WHERE username= \$sidarray[0]\;
mysql_query($sql);
echo(Your tips have been
saved!brbrb$game1br$game2br$game3br$game4br$game5br$game6br$game7br$game8br);
}
else {echo(An error occoured, please click back
button and try again.);}
?
Okay it output on the php page fine but won't save to
db, anyone know why?
Thanks!
