I'm trying to put together a system that upgrades records in a
database and apparently have run into a bit of a glitch. I think the
problem is with the $HTTP_POST_VARS portion of the code. Is there
some variable that has to be set for this to work properly or what?
Ideas anyone? TIA
The Input form: (1 of 3 forms)
<html>
<head>
<title>SystemsDoc Update</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<form method="POST" action="sysdocupdate.php">
<table>
<col span="1" align="right">
<tr>
<td><font color="blue">UID to Update:</font></td>
<td><input type="text" name="UID" size=100></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
This one populates the fields for updating:
<?php
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $varname => $value)
$formVars[$varname]=$value;
require_once("config.php");
$db1=mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass);
mysql_select_db("sysops");
$query="SELECT * FROM systemsdoc WHERE UID =
\"".$formVars["UID"]."\"";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
$formVars = array();
$formVars["manu"]=$row["manu"];
$formVars["model"]=$row["model"];
$formVars["addr"]=$row["addr"];
$formVars["zip"]=$row["zip"];
$formVars["phone"]=$row["phone"];
$formVars["deploy_date"]=$row["deploy_date"];
$formVars["sernum"]=$row["sernum"];
$formVars["assetnum"]=$row["assetnum"];
$formVars["machname"]=$row["machname"];
$formVars["sysversion"]=$row["sysversion"];
$formVars["UID"]=$row["UID"];
mysql_close($db1);
?>
