Hi Guys,
I mainly develop my program on a package tool provided by PHP Triad (from a long time ago) and I was running them solely on my notebook with no problem at all.
I have this code that works fine:
[PHP]mysql_query("UPDATE people SET room='$room' WHERE name='$name'",$con);[/PHP]
and when I tranfer it to a server that has a MySQL v5.0 and PHP 2.0 I revised the code because the above statement won't work into:
[PHP]$con = mysql_connect("---","---","---");
if ( mysql_query("UPDATE people SET room='".$_POST['room']."' WHERE name='".$_POST['name']."'",$con) )
{ print "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; url=main.php'>"; }
else
{ print mysql_error(); }[/PHP]
It shows like it's working but the table was not updated. It doesn't work at all. ;-(
Please help and thanks.

Where is your db select statement, e.g.[php]mysql_select_db("db_name",$con)[/php]Ronald
I put it on an include statement at the top of the php file:
[PHP]include 'connect.php';[/PHP]
below is the content of the include file:
[PHP]<?php
$link = mysql_connect("---","---","---") or die("Server is currently busy.");
mysql_select_db("outing", $link) or die("Database is currently busy.");
?>[/PHP]
You trying to make it hard on us? You'd better make up your mind about what connection string you use. In the include you connect and select using connection $link. Then in the script you do a connect and NO DB SELECT and a query using connection $con.
What is it?
[php]$con = mysql_connect("---","---","---");
$link = mysql_connect("---","---","---") or die("Server is currently busy.");
mysql_select_db("outing", $link) or die("Database is currently busy.");
if ( mysql_query("UPDATE people SET room='".$_POST['room']."' WHERE name='".$_POST['name']."'",$con) )[/php]Ronald
i'm sorry for that, here's the complete code that i revised.
[PHP]<html>
<body>
<?php
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$room = $_POST['room'];
$vrfy = $_POST['vrfy'];
$cfrm = $_POST['cfrm'];
if ( $vrfy == 'false' )
{ print "<script language='javascript'> history.back(); </script>";
exit; }
if ( strlen($name) == 0 || strlen($room) == 0)
{ if ( strlen($name) == 0 )
{ print "<script language='javascript'>".
" alert('Incomplete information, please select your name on the list.');".
" history.back();".
"</script>"; }
else
{ print "<script language='javascript'>".
" alert('Incomplete information, please select your preferred room on the list.');".
" history.back();".
"</script>"; }
exit; }
if ( $cfrm != 'C' )
{ print "<script language='javascript'>".
" alert('You must confirm your registration.');".
" history.back();".
"</script>";
exit; }
$con = mysql_connect("---","---","---");
mysql_select_db("outing", $con);
if ( mysql_query("UPDATE people SET room='".$room."' WHERE name='".$name."'",$con) )
{ print "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; url=main.php'>"; }
else
{ print mysql_error(); }
?>
</body>
</html>[/PHP]
My UPDATE statement seems to be working fine but there's no actual updating made on the table.
What could be the problem on this.? I tried a simple PHP and MySQL code using PHP Triad but with MySQL v5.0 and PHP v2.0 it just won't work.
Are you definitely sure that that name exists in a row in the db? Because if it does not, you will not get an error![php]WHERE name='".$name."'",$con) )[/php]Ronald
Thanks for that question Ronald. The row name on the table was a text and the variable $name was txt as well.
I just add an additional field with type TINYINT and make is as my key field and set it to autoincrement and that's do the job.
Thanks again, smart question there.. ;-)
