my code is not inserting any data on my php, im using a form that will display values but my code in update is not working. please help,
here is my code in php :
if (isset($_POST['update'])) {
$landowner_id = $_POST['landowner_id'];
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$middlename = $_POST['middlename'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$municipality = $_POST['municipality'];
$barangay = $_POST['barnagay'];
$areacovered = $_POST['areacovered'];
$sex = $_POST['sex'];
mysqli_query($db, "UPDATE info SET firstname='$firstname', middlename='$middlename', lastnamename='$lastname', municipality='$municipality', barangay='$barangay', areacovered='$areacovered', sex='$sex' WHERE landowner_id=$landowner_id");
$_SESSION['message'] = "Address updated!";
}
here is my html
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="number" id = "check" name="firstname" placeholder="First Name" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $landowner_id;?>" required>
</div>
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="text" id = "check" name="firstname" placeholder="First Name" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $firstname;?>" required>
</div>
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="text" name="middlename" placeholder="Middle Name" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $middlename;?>">
</div>
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="text" name="lastname" placeholder="Last Name" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $lastname;?>" required>
</div>
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="text" name="municipality" placeholder="Municipality" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $municipality;?>" required>
</div>
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="text" name="barangay" placeholder="Barangay" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $barangay;?>" >
</div>
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="text" id = "check" name="areacovered" placeholder="Area Covered" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $areacovered;?>" required>
</div>
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="text" id = "check" name="sex" placeholder="Sex" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $sex;?>" required>
<br>
<button class="btn" type="submit" name="update" >Update</button>
</div>
I don't see any "form" tag. Are you missing to wrap your "form-wrapper" into a tag? Something like this:
<form action="" method="post">
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="number" id="check" name="firstname" placeholder="First Name" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $landowner_id; ?>" required>
</div>
<!-- Other inputs -->
<div class="form-wrapper">
<input type="text" id="check" name="sex" placeholder="Sex" class="input-field" value="<?php echo $sex; ?>" required>
<br>
<button class="btn" type="submit" name="update">Update</button>
</div>
</form>
Other important things to consider:
Never EVER send to the DB plain inputs coming from the outside without cleaning them! Otherwise, you will be open to SQL injection. Use prepare-statements to solve this issue.
Instead of mysqli_query I recommend you to use PDO. You can prepare statement super easy. Here you can see an example of usage: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60988740/3454593
I have a standard form with all user info, I want to have a drop down list where the state input is so the user can select the state. I have a database with state code and description. Here's the code for my form, just need to know how to add the drop down list so it will show up where the state code is. I've tried putting the drop down using the regular drop down code but when I do that the drop down list shows up at the top of the form.
<section class="main-container">
<div class="main-warpper">
<h2>Sign up</h2>
<form class="signup-form" action="includes/signupinc.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="mbrnumber" placeholder="Member Number">
<input type="text" name="alias" placeholder="Alias">
<input type="text" name="firstname" placeholder="First Name">
<input type="text" name="lastname" placeholder="Last Name">
<input type="text" name="address" placeholder="Address">
<input type="text" name="city" placeholder="City">
<input type="text" name="state" placeholder="State">
<input type="text" name="zipcode" placeholder="Zip Code">
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="E-mail">
<input type="password" name="pwd" placeholder="Password">
<button = type="submit" name="submit">Sign Up</button>
</form>
</div>
</section>
I've been playing around with this and have come up with something like I want. I would like the state code drop down list to look like the placeholder in the rest of the form. Width height I know I can style this but not sure just how to do that. Here's the code I have come up with. The state drop down list comes from my database.
<section class="main-container">
<div class="main-warpper">
<h2>Sign up</h2>
<form class="signup-form" action="includes/signup.inc.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="clubname" placeholder="Your databae name(lower case only no spaces)">
<input type="text" name="mbrnumber" placeholder="Member Number">
<input type="text" name="alias" placeholder="Alias">
<input type="text" name="firstname" placeholder="First Name">
<input type="text" name="lastname" placeholder="Last Name">
<input type="text" name="address" placeholder="Address">
<input type="text" name="city" placeholder="City">
<tr>
<input type="text" name="state" placeholder="State">
<select name="state">
<?php
$sql="Select * from matchstates";
echo "<option value='' selected>Select State</option>";
foreach ($conn->query($sql) as $row) {
echo "<option value=$row[statecode]>$row[statename]</option>";
}
?>
</select>
</tr>
<input type="text" name="zipcode" placeholder="Zip Code">
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="E-mail">

Using jQuery, have two inputs that are initially hidden. Once the user checks the box, '$.show()' on those two inputs. Id have a div containing two inputs, and just show or hide the div depending on whether the box is checked or not
you can try this.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" >
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#checkme").on('change',function(){
if($("#checkme").is(":checked")){
$("input#myemail").fadeIn();
}else{
$("input#myemail").fadeOut();
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
show: <input type="checkbox" id="checkme" /><br />
<input type="text" id="myemail" hidden />
</body>
</html>

This is the code for submit.php:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","viatechp_invacar","storefront72");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("viatechp_invacare", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO registration(username,password,fname,lname,group,
address1,address2,address3, email,city,state,zip,country )
VALUES
('$_POST[name]','$_POST[password]', '$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','
$_POST[group]','$_POST[address1]','$_POST[address2]','$_POST[address3]',
'$_POST[email]','$_POST[city]','$_POST[state]','$_POST[zip]','$_POST[country]'
)" ;
$query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$results = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
if ($results) {
echo 'The query returned ' . $results[ 'registration' ];
} else {
echo 'The query did not return any results';
} ?>
echo $sql;
?>
It is showing an error:
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 'group,address1,address2,address3,email,city,state,zip,country ) VALUES ( 'sdfdsf' at line 1
group is an SQL keyword. If this is the name of one of your fields you must enclose it with ` like so:
`group`,`address1`,...
This tells mySQL that it is a field name and not the keyword. It would be good practice to enclose all your fields within ` to prevent any errors like this you may not have noticed.
Spot on by pburgess. GROUP, ORDER are some common field names that we use while programming. Make sure to enclose these using backticks group, always a good practice.
$sql="INSERT INTO registration(username,password,fname,lname,`group`,
address1,address2,address3, email,city,state,zip,country )
VALUES
('$_POST[name]','$_POST[password]', '$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','
$_POST[group]','$_POST[address1]','$_POST[address2]','$_POST[address3]',
'$_POST[email]','$_POST[city]','$_POST[state]','$_POST[zip]','$_POST[country]'
)" ;
Try this
$sql="INSERT INTO registration(`username`,`password`,`fname`,`lname`,`group`,
`address1`,`address2`,`address3`, `email`,`city`,`state`,`zip`,`country` )
VALUES
('$_POST[name]','$_POST[password]', '$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]',
'$_POST[group]','$_POST[address1]','$_POST[address2]','$_POST[address3]',
'$_POST[email]','$_POST[city]','$_POST[state]','$_POST[zip]','$_POST[country]')" ;
Because you got some field names which is reserved keywords like for example you have group
Your $_POST values is missing quotes, Try updating them
$sql="INSERT INTO registration
(`username`,`password`,`fname`,`lname`,`group`,`address1`,`address2`,`address3`, `email`,`city`,`state`,`zip`,`country`)
VALUES
('$_POST[\"name\"]','$_POST[\"password\"]',$_POST[\"firstname\"]','$_POST[\"lastname\"]','
$_POST[\"group\"]','$_POST[\"address1\"]','$_POST[\"address2\"]','$_POST[\"address3\"]',
'$_POST[\"email\"]','$_POST[\"city\"]','$_POST[\"state\"]','$_POST[\"zip\"]','$_POST[\"country\"]'
)" ;
Well it is too late but this might help someone. Whenever you want to check why your query doesnt' work.. Always try to echo your query and paste it to the phpmyadmin and it will throw the mySQL error which are more easy to understand that what's the issue in query
i found few similar questions here but from answers i didn't get the whole picture of how should work.
I have a subscription form in a page:
<form method="post" action="index.php/register">
<fieldset>
<input type="text" id="first_name" name="first_name" />
<input type="text" id="last_name" name="last_name" />
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" />
<input type="text" id="address" name="address" />
<input id="submit" type="submit" value=">>" />
</fieldset>
</form>
when a user a user click the submit button is lead to a page with the full registering form, where i need to have few fields populated with the data sent from previous page form. this is a preview of few fields from the form of the second page:
<form id="register" name="form1" method="post" action="send_contact.php">
<fieldset>
<li><label>*First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="first_name" name="first_name" />
</li>
<li>
<label>*Last Name</label>
<input type="text" id="last_name" name="last_name" />
</li>
<li>
<label>*Email</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" />
</li>
<li>
<label>*Confirm Email</label>
<input type="text" id="confirm-email" name="confirm_email" />
</li>
<li>
<label>Street Address</label>
<input type="text" id="address" name="address" />
<li class="full-width">
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Register" />
</li>
</fieldset>
</form>
the php is not my strong point, so if you can be more detailed in answer is great for me.
thanks!
I would say for security reasons, do not use Get method "$_GET[]" as people described, keep POST as you have it.
All you need to do on register/ page is get all the values passed on using the POST method and populate them into your HTML. So the second form should look like:
<form id="register" name="form1" method="post" action="send_contact.php">
<fieldset>
<li><label>First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="first_name" name="first_name" value="<?=$_POST[first_name]?>" />
</li>
<li>
<label>*Last Name</label>
<input type="text" id="last_name" name="last_name" value="<?=$_POST[last_name]?>" />
</li>
<li>
<label>*Email</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="<?=$_POST[email]?>" />
</li>
<li>
<label>*Confirm Email</label>
<input type="text" id="confirm-email" name="confirm_email" />
</li>
<li>
<label>Street Address</label>
<input type="text" id="address" name="address" value="<?=$_POST[address]?>" />
<li class="full-width">
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Register" />
</li>
</fieldset>
</form>
Above, I am using shorthand version of "echo" and php tags, if you do not have that enabled under php.ini, please change "" to "; ?>. Also, script will not populate "confirm" email as I assume you would like the user to retype that.
That should do it.
There are basically two methods
Store the values of the first form in a cookie, and the process code can retrieve the values from the cookie
make the form action 'Get' so that the data is passed on to the next page.
You can use the $_POST values from the first form in the page handling the submit of the first form and print them in the new form as:
<?php
echo '<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="' . htmlentities($_POST['email']) . '"/>
?>
<form method="post" action="register.php">
<fieldset>
<input type="text" id="first_name" name="first_name" />
<input type="text" id="last_name" name="last_name" />
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" />
<input type="text" id="address" name="address" />
<input id="submit" type="submit" value=">>" />
</fieldset>
</form>
register.php
<form id="register" name="form1" method="post" action="send_contact.php">
<fieldset>
<li><label>*First Name</label>
<input type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['first_name'];?>" id="first_name" name="first_name" />
</li>
<li>
<label>*Last Name</label>
<input type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['last_name'];?>" id="last_name" name="last_name" />
</li>
<li>
<label>*Email</label>
<input type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['email'];?>" id="email" name="email" />
</li>
<li>
<label>*Confirm Email</label>
<input type="text" id="confirm-email" name="confirm_email" />
</li>
<li>
<label>Street Address</label>
<input type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['address'];?>" id="address" name="address" />
<li class="full-width">
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Register" />
</li>
</fieldset>
</form>
Finally service the post in send_contact.php as you wish
