Updating row in database from android app - php

Question

I'm trying to update a row in my database via my android app. My pulling from the database is working but I'm having trouble with the updating. My code for updating is as follows:
My AsyncTask class:
private class UpdateAnimalTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Boolean>
{
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... arg0)
{
try
{
ID = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.eTid);
Name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.eTname);
Type = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.eTtype);
Breed = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.eTbreed);
Gender = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.eTgender);
Injuries = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.eTinjuries);
Treat = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.eTtreat);
String nM = Name.getText().toString();
String tP = Type.getText().toString();
String bR = Breed.getText().toString();
String gE = Gender.getText().toString();
String iN = Injuries.getText().toString();
String tR = Treat.getText().toString();
ArrayList<NameValuePair> up = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
up.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", nM));
up.add(new BasicNameValuePair("type", tP));
up.add(new BasicNameValuePair("breed", bR));
up.add(new BasicNameValuePair("gender", gE));
up.add(new BasicNameValuePair("injuries", iN));
up.add(new BasicNameValuePair("treatment", tR));
String phpLink = "http://select.garethprice.co.za/update.php?name=" + nM;
Log.e("Test", up.toString());
dbUpdate(up, phpLink);
Log.e("Test", up.toString());
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in uploading " + e.toString());
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Error " + e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return false;
}
return true;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result)
{
if(result)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Successfully updated", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
My dbUpdate method which is being called inside my asynctask class:
public void dbUpdate(ArrayList<NameValuePair> data, String phpL)
{
InputStream iS = null;
try
{
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(phpL);
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(data));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
iS = entity.getContent();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection " + e.toString());
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Error " + e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
My php:
<?php
include_once 'db.php';
$con=mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD)or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE)or die("cannot select DB");
$nM = $_GET['name'];
$tP = $_POST['type'];
$bR = $_POST['breed'];
$gE = $_POST['gender'];
$iN = $_POST['injuries'];
$tR = $_POST['treatment'];
$sql = "UPDATE tbl_Animals SET animal_Type = '$tP', animal_Breed = '$bR', animal_Gender = '$gE', animal_Injuries = '$iN', animal_Treatments = '$tR' WHERE animal_Name = '$nM'";
echo "test: " . $nM . $tP . $bR . $gE . $iN . $tR;
mysql_query($sql,$con) or die("error: " . mysql_error());
mysql_close($con)
?>
Executing the asynctask in my update button:
public void Update(View v)
{
new UpdateAnimalTask().execute();
}
The android code is not breaking so I suspect it's something with the php because my toast pops up that says update successful in my onPostExecute.
Thank you in advance.
