Trying to update data in access database

23
I have been trying to update the details in a access database but, all I get is a white screen and all the errors I have built-in give me no help at all.

All help is greatly appreciated.


[PHP]<html>
<head><title> Customer Information Updated</title></head>
<body>

<?php

$connstr = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" . realpath("2PointB.mdb").";";
$conn=odbc_connect($connstr,'','') or die(Print "connect error: ".odbc_error());


if($_POST[Emergency_Contact_Name]=="")$Emergency_Contact_Name='NULL';
else $Emergency_Contact_Name=$_POST[Emergency_Contact_Name];

if($_POST[Emergency_Contact#]=="")$Emergency_Contact#='NULL';
else $Emergency_Contact#=$_POST[Emergency_Contact#];

if($_POST[Telephone]=="")$Telephone='NULL';
else $Telephone=$_POST[Telephone];

if($_POST[Special_Deitary_Requirements]=="")$Special_Deitary_Requirements='NULL';
else $Special_Deitary_Requirements=$_POST[Special_Deitary_Requirements];


$sql="update tblCustomer set Customer_ID='$_POST[Customer_ID]',Surname='$_POST[Surname]',Forename='$_POST[Forename]', DOB='$_POST[DOB]',Sex='$_POST[Sex]',Address='$_POST[Address]', Town ='$_POST[Town]', City='$_POST[City]', Post_Code ='$_POST[Post_Code]', Telephone='$_POST[Town]', Emergency_Contact_Name='$_POST[Emergency_Contact_Name]', Emergency_Contact#='$_POST[Emergency_Contact#]', Special_Deitary_Requirements='$_POST[Special_Deitary_Requirements]' where Customer_ID='$_POST[Customer_ID]'";


$stmt=odbc_exec($conn, $sql)
or die (Print "execute error: ".odbc_error());

odbc_exec($conn, $stmt) or die (Print "error".odbc_error());

print "Thanks ".$Forename "your customer information has been updated";
?>
</body>
</html>

[PHP]print ("Thanks ".$Forename.", your customer information has been updated.";[/PHP]

You forgot to join the string between your variable and the rest of the message (and I fixed up a little grammer), which might have confused the output line. Post back if that does not solve it and I will look at the code a bit closer.

By the way: great SQL statement code for some SQL injection!

$connstr = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" . realpath("2PointB.mdb").";";
$conn=odbc_connect($connstr,'','') or die(Print "connect error: ".odbc_error());


if($_POST[Emergency_Contact_Name]=="")$Emergency_Contact_Name='NULL';
else $Emergency_Contact_Name=$_POST[Emergency_Contact_Name];

if($_POST[Emergency_Contact_No]=="")$Emergency_Contact_No='NULL';
else $Emergency_Contact_No=$_POST[Emergency_Contact_No];

if($_POST[Telephone]=="")$Telephone='NULL';
else $Telephone=$_POST[Telephone];

if($_POST[Special_Deitary_Requirements]=="")$Special_Deitary_Requirements='NULL';
else $Special_Deitary_Requirements=$_POST[Special_Deitary_Requirements];


$sql="update tblCustomer set Customer_ID='$_POST[Customer_ID]',Surname='$_POST[Surname]',Forename='$_POST[Forename]', DOB='$_POST[DOB]',Sex='$_POST[Sex]',Address='$_POST[Address]', Town ='$_POST[Town]', City='$_POST[City]', Post_Code ='$_POST[Post_Code]', Telephone='$_POST[Town]', Emergency_Contact_Name='$_POST[Emergency_Contact_Name]', Emergency_Contact_No='$_POST[Emergency_Contact_No]', Special_Deitary_Requirements='$_POST[Special_Deitary_Requirements]' where Customer_ID='$_POST[Customer_ID]'";

Print $sql;

$stmt=odbc_exec($conn, $sql)
or die (Print "execute error: ".odbc_error());

odbc_exec($conn, $stmt) or die (Print "error".odbc_error());

print ("Thanks ".$Forename. "your customer information has been updated");

?>
</body>
</html>
[/PHP]

The error is odbc error 22005 a date problem I think. Do you know what to do from here.

I don't know if this matters but Im from the uk so my date goes dd/mm/yyyy.


Oh thanks Ronald for making me aware.

One step at a time Ron. But Ron's right, you cannot go public with the code you have now. You need to take some security steps to stop people from using your database how they see fit. This means validating and sanitizing you inputs. Here is one to start you off (you can continue with google). But make another post if you have questions about that - one problem per post.

It matters! I do not know the standard date format for Access but I quess it is, just like MySQL, YYYY-MM-DD. If that is true, you'll have to reformat your date before storing it in the database. You can use the PHP strtotime() and date() functions for that.
