I have a textarea that is used to view a specific database cell, which works fine. The problem is when I edited the text in that textarea and then use php + mysql to update that specific database cell it does not work. When I just change the name to a random string "abc" the database is updated but it takes 2 clicks to work or 2 refreshers. So I found the problem line in the code but dont know what to do:
PHP problem:
$post_textWelco me = $_POST[text_welcome]; // PROBLEM HERE
text_welcome being the name/id of the textarea.
MySQL query:
"UPDATE $table1 SET $primaryKey1 = '$post_textWelc ome' WHERE welcome = '1'";
just for further information but this query works. Like I said if i change the PHP problem to: $post_textWelco me ="abc";
updates the text fine, well if i can aid you any further let me know but im hoping that you can solve my problem =)
Thanks in advance, Regards X

Are you sure you're using POST to send the data?
Also, it's good practice to wrap array keys in single quotes..
i.e.
[php]
$something = $_POST['wrapped_with_s ingle_quotes'];
[/php]
ya i have wrapped it in quotes ' ' and not it dosent work either way.
Something wrong with that line of code because I cannot understand why it works with a string variable and will not with a post.
What did you mean by am i using $_POST to send?
im using post to gather the information that is contained within the textarea to make it equal to the variable?
im a newbie at php and trying to learn everything off my own back and its very hard at times =( been on this problem for 3 days and cant find a solution. Maybe someone can give me a working example of a textarea that is used to to call text into the textarea and that same textarea is used to update that cell?
Thanks Again, Regards X

First) The data submitted from the textarea has to come from a form and that form has to have a method - POST or GET. The code that you use to retrieve the data has to be respective to the method you use.
i.e. if you use a method=POST then you have to use $_POST to retrieve it.
LOL!!!
Something is buggy or my code is just really bad.... lol
Thanks for the help man. Something weird happened, I had post previously to encrypt the sent message and nothing was happening. I change them both to get and the message was working and then i change them back to post and it works fine now. So why was it not working orginally? =(
So the only problem I face now is that somehow its storing and retreiving 2 different variables in the textarea. Eg. textarea loads with 123a and then I change that to 123b click the submit button and 123a appears. click the submit button again and 123b appears. Any Ideas?
Happy New Year people, thanks again, X ;)
I just solved the problem, thanks for the help!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

Hello,
I have some textareas assigned some values which is taken from the
database on page_load. Also there is an update button.
But when I change the text and click the update button it does not
work. Actually it works, but the text I type in the textarea is not
recognized. It recognizes the assigned value on page_load, and updates
the same thing over itself.

I am trying to code a page that allows the user to edit the content that is drawn from the database. The fields show the correct data from the database, and you can type in the fields, but the database does not update when the "submit" button is clicked. It jumps to the events list page, as it should, but the information has not been changed.
My code is as follows:
