I am trying to create a really simple cms.. here is my code.


sent.php
CODE

<?php
// connect here
$left = $_POST['leftside'];


$result = mysql_query('UPDATE about SET left = "$left" WHERE id = 1');
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}


//echo 'Your request has been sent';

?>

Member.PHP
CODE

<?php

session_start();


if($_SESSION['username'])
{
    echo "Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username']."!<br><a href='logout.php'>Logout</a><br>";
    $directions = "<h3>Directions:</h3>To edit text, simply click in one of the boxes you wish to change.<br> Click save to save your change. <br> Once you press save, the update will be sent automatically to the Live Site!<br>";
    
     // connect here

    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM about");
    $query_row=mysql_fetch_array($query);

    echo $directions;
    
    
    
}
else
    die("You must be logged in!");
?>

<html>

If this is an SQL error, there should not be a '$' in it! Probably you have the quoting wrong (e.g. ' ' instead of " ") somewhere in the program.

You need two forms!
EDIT AGAIN Darn IT! Not an Error.
One Form, One Submit!


You need to add $_POST['leftside'] (and rightside) to the POST array. Possibly as hidden variables. You could also key on a different submit value for left or right.
EDIT: Not an error! EFM
But, still need a 'filler' for POST['leftside'] for both sides submission. Right now leaves out ['leftside'] and ['comments'] most of the time so the query comes out short mostly.

Sorry, my edits made my posts almost in-understandable. Sorry.

Design before you mark-up. Do you want to edit only the left side first or do you want to edit the whole thing at one time? If all at once you need one form. If you want to do it in parts you need another page to edit the other side and two handlers to handle left or right.

1) Make sure your form page(s) are(is) VALID. ie. how many forms do you want to edit at a time? Right now your <form> element is invalidly placed.

2) Make sure that EVERY POST element needed is filled in by the submit for all conditions. Right now your failure is caused because POST['leftside'] is missing sometimes. That's what I got confused by.

HTH

I don't know how to help you. You're trying to jump right in the middle of middling hard code without knowing how to plan your code.

I suggest you simplify your first task to make a VALID form page that calls a simple data viewer so you can see what happens when you do different things.

For instance, make an action page that just displays $_POST and $_GET. Call it io.php. It could look like this:

CODE

<?php
// program: io.php

$ars = "<h2>_POST</h2>" . print_r( $_POST, true ) .
       "<h2>_GET</h2>"  . print_r( $_GET,  true );

$page = <<<END
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>IO Display Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
h1 { text-align:center; }
div { display: table; margin: 0 auto }
</style>
</head>

<body>
<h1>IO Array Displays</h1>
<div>
<pre>
{$ars}
</pre>
</div>
</body>
</html>
END;
echo $page;
?>


Then make a test form page for just one form. testform1.php. It could look like this:

CODE

<?php
// program testform1.php

$page = <<<END
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Form 1</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
h1, form { text-align: center; }
</style>
</head>

<body>
<h1>Test Form 1</h1>
<form method="post" action="io.php">
<input type="text" name="nam1" value="txt1">
<input type="hidden" name="hid1" value="hiddenValue1"><br>
<input type="submit" name="sub1" value="press here">
</form>
</body>
</html>
END;
echo $page;
?>


Read and understand both these programs. Then test them as is and see if you can predict what it should be doing then see if it is doing that. Understand what all the words mean and what effect they have.

Then change ONE VARIABLE at a time and see what effect that has.

Then you can start making changes to do what you want to do in your CMS. (One thing at a time)

What is the actual error message you get? You have to solve them one at a time; Ephrain is right that you may be trying to take on vastly too big a job when you don't really understand what is going on.

I also helps if you give a link to the working (or non-working!) page; at least we can see what you are talking about. It is not reasonable to ask someone to read pages of code, visualise what it does, debug it mentally, and so on.

I did this, and still cannot get the grasp on how to do it.. I feel completely lost now.. I get how the form you set up works, and i get how to pass the edited text into "sent.php", but i dont know how to get it to Update in the database.. I keep getting this error.. "Invalid query: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'left=' at line 1"

This makes me just want to delete everything, and not look again.. i thought i had it all planned out..

Login => Edit page. (Edit text) => Sent.php(edited text is recieved, and updated).

Post a link to your test of the code I sent. With all the changes you made.

We'll analyze that.

Barring that, Use my code to change the text field to a textarea and get it working. Then post that. That's a really easy change.

Once you are Completely familiar with io.php, testform1.php and are sure that all pages made are VALID then:

Use testform1.php as a template for a COMPLETELY new form that gets a visitor's username and password. Make sure the form page is VALID. Use io.php as the action and be sure that ALL possible combinations of entries result in reasonable POST data.

Doing this will get you a long way to success. Bad programs are frequently called "Garbage IN, Garbage Out" programs. We're working on fixing the Garbage In part.

I suggest you find several php programming online tutorials and study those while you're doing these.

This site is a 'help' site as opposed to a 'teach' site. This means that the infrastructure of the site is not as well suited to teaching.

My just previous post is 100% sincere. It is the rare student that recognizes that he is on the WRONG road, admits it and takes steps to get on the RIGHT road. That ability serves a life well.

In your case you're trying to do two things at once. One is the session system of a web site and the other is the web site itself. A working web site is first. Then you do the session stuff on a well prepared foundation.

I believe that the php type to use is 5.2 or later.

Learn:
basic php,
functions,
variables,
function and variable visibility,
arrays, <= yes these are VERY valuable because they can remove disk latency in programs.

With these, VERY good programs can be written.

That's pretty good.

Now, make it valid in html 4.01 transitional, xhtml transitional and xhtml strict. You may also try in html. (html 5)

I've made it valid in html 4.01 strict here: http://moya.us/Kasper20120124.html

ps. I don't believe that two word class names are valid but I can't find the rules for them. ( "column one" )

<div class="column one">
This isn't a "two-word class name". This is an element with two classes ("column" and "one").
