Updating table not working.

Client Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 735 Location: Ohio

Anything wrong with this code?

Code:

$result = $db->sql_query("UPDATE " . $prefix . "_milpacs_sotm SET (uniqueid = '$uniqueid', citation = '$citation', criteria = '$criteria')");

It is not updating the table.

Here is the meat of the code.

Code:

//finds the server's root directory


$self = dirname(__FILE__);


$nukemod = basename($self);


$rootdir = eregi_replace("/modules/$nukemod", "", $self);


require_once("mainfile.php");


@include_once("header.php");


$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));


global $module_name, $dbi, $prefix; 





   Opentable();





if ($op == "editsotm") {


   // Validations go here


   // If all validations passed, save and exit, otherwise, redisplay with errors   


   $uniquied = intval($POST['$uniqueid']);   


   $citation = ($POST['$citation']);   


   $criteria = ($POST['$criteria']);   


   $result = $db->sql_query("UPDATE " . $prefix . "_milpacs_sotm SET (uniqueid = '$uniqueid', citation = '$citation', criteria = '$criteria')");





   $result = $db->sql_query($sql);


      echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=modules.php?name=MILPACS&file=sotm\">";


}





?>


<form name="editsotm" action="modules.php?name=MILPACS" method="post">


<H3><center>Soldier of the Month</center></H3>


<HR>


<?php


$result = $db->sql_query("SELECT mm.name, sotm.citation, sotm.criteria FROM " . $prefix . "_milpacs_members mm JOIN " . $prefix . "_milpacs_sotm sotm WHERE mm.uniqueid = sotm.uniqueid");


$info = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


if (!$result) {


    echo("<p>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</p>");


    exit();


}





?>


<table border=0 width="100%" cellpadding="5">


<select name="uniqueid" size="1" align="center"> 


   <option value="">--- Select Soldier ---</option>


<?php


$result = $db->sql_query("SELECT uniqueid, name, status, rank_id FROM " . $prefix . "_milpacs_members WHERE status = 'Active' OR status = 'LOA' ORDER BY rank_id ASC");





while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) ) {


   $name = $row["name"];


   $uniqueid = $row["uniqueid"];   


   echo "<option value='$uniqueid'>$name</option>";


   } 


?>


      </select>


<br><br>


<tr>


<th width="15%"><b>Citation</b></th><td align="left" width="15%">

@include_once("footer.php");


?>

you have declared $dbi in globals but you use $db

global $module_name, $dbi, $prefix;

should be

global $module_name, $dbi, $prefix, $db;

remove $dbi if you don't use

What error message(s) are you seeing?

Trying changing:

Code:

SET (uniqueid = '$uniqueid', citation = '$citation', criteria = '$criteria')

To:

Code:

SET uniqueid = '$uniqueid', citation = '$citation', criteria = '$criteria'

(ie, remove the parentheses from the set clause).

Thanks Kevin,

Another question. I am having the same problem as before and can't seem to fix it.

I have editsotm.php in the admin folder with

Code:

case "editsotm":


      @include_once("admin/editsotm.php");


      break;

in the index.php

I have

Code:




<input type="hidden" name="op" value="editsotm">


<input class="button" type="submit" align="center" value="Change"/>

at the bottom of the Milpacs/admin.php

Then I have

Code:

<?php


$result = $db->sql_query("SELECT mm.name, msotm.citation, msotm.criteria FROM " . $prefix . "_milpacs_members mm JOIN " . $prefix . "_milpacs_sotm msotm WHERE mm.uniqueid = msotm.uniqueid");


$info = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


if (!$result) {


    echo("<p>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</p>");


    exit();


}


if ($op == "editsotm") {


   echo "<URL=modules.php?name=MILPACS&op=editsotm>";   


}


?>

Which should open the editsotm.php in the admin forlder so I can edit the table.

All I get when I click on the change button is

Quote:

Sorry, that module file was not found!

I added $module_name inside my function

function milpacs() {
global $db, $prefix, $module_name;

Or I ws getting

Quote:

"Sorry, that module is not active"

Or something like that.

Anyway...I still can't access my editsotm.php which is inside my MILPACS/admin folder.

I can access it if I put it just in MILPACS.

You might need to change op to file.

Didn't help.

I'll work on this later tonight.

The uniqueid is being updated and set to the new value, but the other two are not.

Code:

if ($op == "editsotm") {


   // Validations go here


   // If all validations passed, save and exit, otherwise, redisplay with errors   


   $uniquied = intval($POST['$uniqueid']);   


   $citation = ($POST['$citation']);   


   $criteria = ($POST['$criteria']);   


   $result = $db->sql_query("UPDATE " . $prefix . "_milpacs_sotm SET uniqueid = '$uniqueid', citation = '$citation', criteria = '$criteria'");


if (!$result) {


   die('Could not query:' . mysql_error());


   exit();


}
