How to get php row values? - php

management.php is the code which get information in php by a table.
And managementdel.php is the code which del the information.
I use mysql_fetch_array to show all data,and beside every information have a herf to delete
echo data in database.
When I del ,there no error inside.but database information haven't delete.
management.php
$con1 = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1","root","password");
mysql_select_db("babytradeapps");
$sql1 = "Select LoginID , Password , Permission
from loginacc where Permission = 2 ";
$results = mysql_query($sql1,$con1);
echo "<tr><th>會員帳號</th></tr>";
echo "<table border=5 cellpadding=10>";
echo "<tr><th></th><th>帳號</th><th>密碼</th><th>權限</th><th></th><th></th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
echo "<tr><td>
<a href='searchtable.php?lid=$row[0]'>get information</a></td><td>$row[0]</td><td><input type=text id='row1' name='row1' value='$row[1]' /></td>
<td>$row[2]</td><td>
<a href='searchtable.php?lid=$row[0]'>Change</a></td><td>
<a href='managementdel.php?lid=$row[0]'>Delete</a></td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
managementdel.php
<?php
$ac = $_GET['rowname'];
$con = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1","root","password");
mysql_select_db("babytradeapps");
$sql = "delete from loginacc where LoginID = '$ac'";
if(mysql_query($sql))
{
echo '<meta http-equiv=REFRESH CONTENT=2;url=management.php>';
}
else
{
echo 'fail!';
echo '<meta http-equiv=REFRESH CONTENT=2;url=management.php>';
}
echo mysql_error()
?>

There is so much stuff wrong with your script, I won't address it all. What I will do is answer your question that you asked which is: "Why it won't delete from database."
What is wrong in your script:
Using depreciated mysql_* library (See notes below)
Using meta refresh to redirect instead of something like header('Location: link');
Not sanitizing user input -> $_GET['lid'].
Posting user password in the table. (Hopefully not being stored as plaintext)
As stated, you're trying to get:
$_GET['rowname']
When you are sending lid -> managementdel.php?lid=$row[0]. You have to change that to:
$ac = $_GET['lid'];
NOTES
Please stay away from mysql_* functions as the library is depreciated.
Use either of the following two instead:
PDO
Mysqli Prepared Statements
And if you aren't going to do that, atleast try and sanitize your user inputs to prevent SQL Injections.
Using functions like intval() and mysql_real_escape_string() will help you but won't be as comprehensive as PDO/mysqli.

in managementdel.php file instead of
$ac = $_GET['rowname'];
there should be
$ac = $_GET['lid'];

Try
management.php
<?php
$con1 = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1","root","password");
mysql_select_db("babytradeapps");
$sql1 = "Select LoginID , Password , Permission
from loginacc where Permission = 2 ";
$results = mysql_query($sql1,$con1);
echo "<tr><th>會員帳號</th></tr>";
echo "<table border=5 cellpadding=10>";
echo "<tr><th></th><th>帳號</th><th>密碼</th><th>權限</th><th></th><th></th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
echo "<tr><td>
<a href='searchtable.php?lid= " . $row[0] . "'>get information</a></td><td>" . $row[0] . "</td><td><input type=text id='row1' name='row1' value='" . $row[1] . "' /></td>
<td>" . $row[2] . "</td><td>
<a href='searchtable.php?lid=" . $row[0] . "'>Change</a></td><td>
<a href='managementdel.php?lid=" . $row[0] . "'>Delete</a></td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
managementdel.php
<?php
$ac = $_GET['lid'];
$con = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1","root","password");
mysql_select_db("babytradeapps");
$sql = "delete from loginacc where LoginID = '$ac'";
if(mysql_query($sql))
{
echo '<meta http-equiv=REFRESH CONTENT=2;url=management.php>';
}
else
{
echo 'fail!';
echo '<meta http-equiv=REFRESH CONTENT=2;url=management.php>';
}
echo mysql_error()
?>

Two many records showing when h_id is identified

I am trying to filter a mysql table using PHP, My aim is when the url is History.php?h_id=1 it only shows the rows that have one in the h_id (H_id is not a unique number)
My code is as below.
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body >
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'matl0ck') or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("kedb") or die(mysql_error());
$h_id = (int)$_GET['h_id'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Hist WHERE H_ID = '$h_id'") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($query)=1){
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$id = $row['ID'];
$name = $row['Name'];
$datemod = $row['DateMod'];
$h_id = $row['H_ID'];
}
?>
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","matl0ck","kedb");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()){
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM Hist");
echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Date</th>
<th>H_ID</th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['ID'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Name'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['DateMod'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['H_ID'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
mysqli_close($con);
?>
<?php
}else{
echo 'No entry found. Go back';
}
?>
</body>
</html>
When I try to use this it shows all records that has a number in the h_id when I delete a number in this column it shows an error.
My table layout is as below.
Thank you
This is your syntactically incorrect statement
if(mysql_num_rows($query)=1){
A test is done using == and = is a value assignment
if(mysql_num_rows($query) == 1){
//------------------------^^
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$id = $row['ID'];
$name = $row['Name'];
$datemod = $row['DateMod'];
$h_id = $row['H_ID'];
}
Also
Your script is at risk of SQL Injection Attack
Have a look at what happened to Little Bobby Tables Even
if you are escaping inputs, its not safe!
Use prepared parameterized statements and therefore stick to the mysqli_ or PDO database extensions
Your general code seemed to get a bit confused, and you were getting data from a query "SELECT * FROM Hist" that you never seemed to use.
Also the while loop was being terminated before you actually consumed and output the results of the first query.
I also amended the code to use parameterized and prepared queries, and removed the use of the mysql_ which no longer exists in PHP7
<?php
// Use one connection for all script, and make it MYSQLI or PDO
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","matl0ck","kedb");
if (mysqli_connect_errno()){
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
// if connection fails there is no point doing anything else
exit;
}
//$h_id = (int)$_GET['h_id'];
// prepare and bind values to make the code safe from SQL Injection
// also only select the rows you want
$sql = "SELECT ID, Name, DateMod, H_ID FROM Hist WHERE H_ID = ?";
$stmt = $con->prepare($sql);
if ( ! $stmt ) {
echo $con->error;
exit;
}
$stmt->bind_param("i", $_GET['h_id']);
$stmt->execute();
if ( ! $stmt ) {
echo $con->error;
exit;
}
// bind the query results 4 columns to local variable
$stmt->bind_result($ID, $Name, $DateMod, $H_ID);
echo "<table border='1'>
<tr><th>ID</th><th>Name</th><th>Date</th><th>H_ID</th></tr>";
if($con->affected_rows > 0){
echo "<table border='1'>
<tr><th>ID</th><th>Name</th><th>Date</th><th>H_ID</th></tr>";
while($stmt->fetch()) {
while($row = $stmt->fetch_array()) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>$ID</td>";
echo "<td>$Name</td>";
echo "<td>$DateMod</td>";
echo "<td>$H_ID</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
}else{
echo 'No entry found. Go back';

How to add a button to my PHP form that deletes rows from my MYSQL database [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to add a delete button to a PHP form that will delete a row from a MySQL table
(5 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I am new to php coding.
I am adding each row delete button, but it should not working.
This is my html code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root','');
if (!$connection)
{
die("Database Connection Failed" . mysql_error());
}
$select_db = mysql_select_db( "emp",$connection);
if (!$select_db)
{
die("Database Selection Failed" . mysql_error());
}
$sql = "SELECT * FROM venu ";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
?>
<table border="2" style= " margin: 0 auto;" id="myTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>name</th>
<th>id</th>
<th>rollnumber</th>
<th>address</th>
<th>phonenumber</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['id'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['rollnumber'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['address'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['phonenumber'] . "</td>";
echo "<td><form action='delete.php' method='POST'><input type='hidden' value='".$row["address"]."'/><input type='submit' name='submit-btn' value='delete' /></form></td></tr>";
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
This is my delete code:
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root','');
if (!$connection)
{
die("Database Connection Failed" . mysql_error());
}
$select_db = mysql_select_db( "emp",$connection);
if (!$select_db)
{
die("Database Selection Failed" . mysql_error());
}
error_reporting(0);
session_start();
$name = $_POST['name'];
$id = $_POST['id'];
$rollnumber = $_POST['rollnumber'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$phonenumber = $_POST['phonenumber'];
if($name!='' and $id!='')
{
$sql = mysql_query("DELETE FROM 'venu' WHERE name='balaji'AND id='93'AND rollnumber='93'AND address='bangalore'AND phonenumber='1234567890'");
echo "<br/><br/><span>deleted successfully...!!</span>";
}
else{
echo "<p>ERROR</p>";
}
mysql_close($connection);
?>
I am trying to delete each row using a button, but it is not working.
In your html view page some change echo "<td><a href='delete.php?did=".$row['id']."'>Delete</a></td>"; like bellow:
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['id'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['rollnumber'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['address'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['phonenumber'] . "</td>";
echo "<td><a href='delete.php?did=".$row['id']."'>Delete</a></td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
PHP delete code :
<?php
if(isset($_GET['did'])) {
$delete_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['did']);
$sql = mysql_query("DELETE FROM venu WHERE id = '".$delete_id."'");
if($sql) {
echo "<br/><br/><span>deleted successfully...!!</span>";
} else {
echo "ERROR";
}
}
?>
Note : Please avoid mysql_* because mysql_* has beed removed from
PHP 7. Please use mysqli or PDO.
More details about of PDO connection http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.connections.php
And more details about of mysqli http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.query.php
First you need to change your button like
echo "<td>Delete</td>";
this will send the ID of the row which you want to delete to the delete.php
Secondly you need to change a bit your delete.php currently is wide open for SQL injections. Try using MySQLi or PDO instead
if(isset($_GET['id'])) {
$id = $_GET['id'];
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("DELETE FROM venu WHERE id = ?");
$stmt->bind_param('i', $id);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
}
Of course if you need to add more parameters in delete query you should pass them also with the button..
EDIT: Simple example for update record
You can put second button on the table like
echo "<td>Update</td>";
Then when you click on it you will have the ID of the record which you want to update. Then in update.php
if(isset($_GET['id'])) {
$id = $_GET['id'];
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("UPDATE venu SET name = ?, rollnumber = ?, address = ? WHERE id = ?");
$stmt->bind_param('sisi', $name, $rollnumber, $address, $id);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
}
Here ( in update.php ) you can have form which you can fill with new data and pass to variables $name, $rollnumber, $address then post it to update part.
Something to start with: PHP MySqli Basic usage (select, insert & update)
change up your query to use the dynamic value entered by the user, right now it is hard coded in there.
session_start();
require_once 'conn.php';
class myClass extends dbconn {
public function myClassFunction(){
try {
$id = $_GET['id'];
if(isset($_GET['id'])) {
$sql = "DELETE FROM tablename WHERE id = ?";
$stmt = $this->connect()->query($sql);
$stmt->bind_param('i', $id);
header("location: ../filepath/index.php");
}
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo $sql . "<br>" . $e->getMessage();
}
}
}
This line is wrong, you need to set the WHERE clause to the data you get from the hidden input value
$sql = mysql_query("DELETE FROM 'venu' WHERE name='balaji'AND id='93'AND rollnumber='93'AND address='bangalore'AND phonenumber='1234567890'");
Should be:
$sql = mysql_query("DELETE FROM 'venu' WHERE address='"._POST['address']."'");
And in the little form you are using, change:
<input type='hidden' value='".$row["address"]."'/>
to:
<input type='hidden' name='address' value='".$row["address"]."'/>

inserting into SQL with PHP

Essentially I want to:
pull info from mySQL server
create a table of students with their name, phone number, and exam date
I want a checkbox next to each student pulled from mySQL and when the checkbox is clicked and the user hits submit, it inserts a value into mySQL column 'contacted'under that specific student. The value will either be "yes" or "NULL"
I used primary key (id) which auto increments to create unique checkbox names for each student
application: The user will retrieve a table of our students and their exam dates. The user will call (via phone) the students and ask about their exam. Once the user has contacted that student, they check the checkbox to show that that particular student has already been contacted. That information will be stored in mySQL for that particular student to show that student was contacted.
here is my code:
<?php
define('DB_NAME', 'Students');
define('DB_USER', 'admin');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
$link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$db_selected = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);
$sql = sprintf("SELECT id,f_name,l_name,phone,exam_date FROM Student_data");
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$table_count = 0;
$student_id = array();
echo "<script>
function DoTheThing()
{
" .
for($x = 0; $student_id[$x] != NULL; $x++)
{
$in = sprintf("INSERT INTO Student_data (contacted) VALUES ('". $_POST[$row['id']] ."') WHERE id = '" . $row['id'] . "';" );
$db_selected->mysql_query($in)
}
. "
}
</script>";
echo "<table width= 400 border=1><form action=\"DoTheThing()\" method=\"POST\">
<tr>
<th width='175' scope='col'>Name</th>
<th width='150' scope='col'>Phone</th>
<th width='125' scope='col'>Exam Date</th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><center>" . $row['f_name'] . " ". $row['l_name']. "</center></td>";
echo "<td><center>". $row['phone'] ."</center></td>";
echo "<td><center>". $row['exam_date'] ."<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"" . $row['id'] . "\" value=\"yes\"></center></td>";
echo "</tr>";
$student_id[$table_count] = $row['id']
$table_count = +1;
}
echo "</form></table>
<br/><br/><input style = \"height:35px;width:95px;font-size:20px;\" type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">
";
mysql_close($link);
?>
edit: Sorry, realized I never posted my question
It stopped working when I attempted to insert the "yes" or "NULL" value into mySQL. I am very new to mySQL and was wondering if any of my statements were wrong.
This should be a very big boost of help, basically a shell. All that is left to do is inserting the data into your SQL server.
I commented the code so you could see what was going on, when, and where.
Also, you should definitely stay AWAY from mysql_* as it's deprecated. My example was made using mysqli_*. Another options would be PDO.
<?php
//Set variables (Can be done on another file for more security)
$Host = "Localhost";
$User = "admin";
$Pass = "password";
$DB = "Students";
//Connect to the databse using mysqli. NOT MYSQL WHICH IS DEPRECATED
$con = mysqli_connect($Host, $User, $Pass, $DB);
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
//if submitted
if(isSet($_POST['submit'])) {
//submit data using mysqli_query and then reload the page.
//clear POST variables before you reload the page.
unset($_POST);
//reload the page
echo "<META http-equiv='refresh' content='0'>";
} else { //if not submitted
//define search variable, and query it.
$db_selected = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT id,f_name,l_name,phone,exam_date FROM Student_data");
//Start table
echo "<form method='POST'>";
echo " <table>";
echo " <tr>";
echo " <th>Name</th>";
echo " <th>Phone</th>";
echo " <th>Exam Date</th>";
echo " <th></th>";
echo " </tr>";
//Loop through sql database
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($check)) {
echo " <tr>";
echo " <td>".$row['f_name']." ".$row['l_name']."</td>";
echo " <td>".$row['phone']."</td>";
echo " <td>".$row['exam_date']."</td>";
echo " <td><input type='checkbox' name='checkbox['".$row['id']."']' value='1'></td>";
echo " </tr>";
}
//end table
echo " </table>";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit' name='submit'>";
echo "</form>";
}
?>

Whenever I reload/refresh my page, it doubles the mysql query? [PHP]

I'm working with our project and I noticed that whenever I refresh my page the mysql query repeats itself. When I click a submit button It will go to same page and it will perform the query. Even though i used isset() method to the submitting button, still the query repeats when I refresh/reload the page. Thank you :) !

If you refresh a page after submitting you form, the POST will still be recognised by some browsers and will cause a second POST to the code. You should update your code to trigger the SQL query on a separate page or function, and then redirect the user to the success / thanks page, where refreshing won't duplicate the query.
Alternatively, you can have a hidden field on your page which contains a unique token and compare it with a cookie. On page load, you save the token to a cookie and to the hidden field on the form. When you submit the form, validate that the token in the hidden form field matches the cookie, then delete the cookie. Refreshing the page after submission will cause the token validation to fail, preventing a duplicate SQL insert.
Just wash out the form data by redirecting the page after insert query
like header('location:home.php')
As #PeeHaa suggested in the comments above use Post-Redirect-Get concept.
Modified your code a bit. Try below:
Forum.php
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Homepagestyle.css">

if (isset($_GET['show']))
{
echo $_SESSION['prog'] . "<br>";
}
else if (isset($_GET['show']))
{
echo $_SESSION['net'] . "<br>";
}
?>

<?php
if (isset($_GET['show']))
{
$_SESSION['pasamoto'] = 1;
$capRows = "SELECT * FROM page_post WHERE category_id = 1 ORDER BY timestamps DESC";
$iQuer = mysql_query($capRows);
while ($getRows = mysql_fetch_array($iQuer))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><div id = 'postsdiv'>" . $getRows['post'] . "</div><br>";
echo "</tr>";
}
}

if(isset($_POST['btnPost']))
{
$post_content = $_POST['txtpost'];
$dttime = date("Y-m-d") . " " . date("h:i:sa");
$var = $_SESSION['pasamoto'];
if ($var == 1)
{
$addpost = "INSERT INTO page_post(post,timestamps,category_id) VALUES ('$post_content','$dttime','$var')";
mysql_query($addpost);
$capRows = "SELECT * FROM page_post WHERE category_id = '".$var."' ORDER BY timestamps DESC";
$iQuer = mysql_query($capRows);
while ($getRows = mysql_fetch_array($iQuer))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><div id = 'postsdiv'>" . $getRows['post'] . "</div><br>";
echo "</tr>";
}
}
if ($var == 2)
{
$addpost = "INSERT INTO page_post(post,timestamps,category_id) VALUES ('$post_content','$dttime','$var')";
mysql_query($addpost);
$capRows = "SELECT * FROM page_post WHERE category_id = '".$var."' ORDER BY timestamps DESC";
$iQuer = mysql_query($capRows);
while ($getRows = mysql_fetch_array($iQuer))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><div id = 'postsdiv'>" . $getRows['post'] . "</div><br>";
echo "</tr>";
}
}
}
header("Location:Forum.php?show=true"); // <==== Note this
?>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Explanation:
The above code will follow the Post-Redirect-Get pattern. The form will post the data to the same page and whatever task you want to perform after form post should be enclosed in,
if(isset($_POST['btnPost']))
{
...
}
and then redirect the user to the same page using,
header("Location:Forum.php?show=true");
the header function will redirect the user to the same page and the GET parameter show will decide what to show after the redirection. The content to show after redirection (or any other time) should be enclosed in,
if(isset($_GET['show']))
{
...
}

Mysql Field Data not displaying when a link is clicked?

I'm trying to get data from a database if a link is clicked.
I used the example codes suggested from this example -Getting mysql field data when a link is clicked?
But it doesn't work when I click on a link nothing comes up.
main.php
<?php
include('conn.php');
$sql2 = "SELECT Title FROM addpromo";
$result2 = mysql_query($sql2);
echo "<div id=\"links\">\n";
echo "<ul>\n";
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result2)) {
echo "<li> <a href=\"fullproject.php?title=\""
. urlencode($row2['Title']) . "\">"
. htmlentities($row2['Title']) . "</a>\n</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
echo "</div>";
?>
This is displaying correct.but when I click at a link nothing is showing up in fullproject.php, Just a blank page.
fullproject.php
<?php
// Connect to server.
include('conn.php');
$projectname = isset($_GET['Title']);
$sql1 = "SELECT Title FROM addpromo WHERE Title = '$projectname'";
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1);
while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1)) {
echo "Project Name: " . $row1['Title'] . "<br />";
echo "<br /> ";
}
?>
Can someone help me to fix this, or any other way to make this(to get data from a database if a link is clicked) possible?
Change to this
main.php
<?php
include('conn.php');
$sql2="SELECT Title FROM addpromo";
$result2=mysql_query($sql2);
echo '<div id="links">';
echo '<ul>';
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result2)){
echo '<li>'.htmlentities($row2['Title']).'</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
echo '</div>';
?>
fullproject.php
<?php
if(isset($_GET['title'])){
include('conn.php');
$projectname= $_GET['title'];
$sql1="SELECT Title FROM addpromo WHERE Title = '$projectname'";
$result1=mysql_query($sql1);
while($row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1)) {
echo "Project Name: " . $row1['Title']. "<br />";
echo "<br /> ";
}
}
?>
This is storing a boolean value $projectname= isset($_GET['Title']);, whether or not the title is set. Instead use $projectname = $_GET['Title'];
isset returns a boolean value (true/false) and you want the actual value of the variable:
$projectname= $_GET['title'];
Furthermore, you have to pass only the title as the URL parameter, without enclosing it within quotes. So there is an error in this line:
echo "<li> <a href=\"fullproject.php?title=" . urlencode($row2['Title']) . "\">"
Note the lack of \" after title=
