sample form in html
<form action="search.php" method="get">
<label>Name:
<input type="text" name="keyname" />
</label>
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
When I am trying to search it displays entire row with all fields. That's good. but not capture that details when i click on Edit.
search.php file:
//capture search term and remove spaces at its both ends if the is any
$searchTerm = trim($_GET['keyname']);
//check whether the name parsed is empty
if($searchTerm == "")
{
echo "Enter name you are searching for.";
exit();
}
//database connection info
$host = "xxx"; //server
$db = "xxx"; //database name
$user = "xxx"; //dabases user name
$pwd = "xxx"; //password
//connecting to server and creating link to database
$link = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pwd, $db);
//MYSQL search statement
$query = "SELECT * FROM customer_details WHERE id LIKE '%$searchTerm%'";
$results = mysqli_query($link, $query);
/* check whethere there were matching records in the table
by counting the number of results returned */
if(mysqli_num_rows($results) >= 1)
{
$output = "";
echo '<table border=1 width=999>
<tr>
<th valign=top>ID</th>
<th valign=top>Name</th>

}
echo '
</table>';
echo $output;
}
else
echo "There was no matching record for the name " . $searchTerm;
?>
<div>Edit</div>
and my update.php file looking like this.
<?php

</form>

<?php
// close connection
mysql_close();
?>
and finally update_ac.php looking like this.
<?php
$host="xxx"; // Host name
$username="xxx"; // Mysql username
$password="xxx"; // Mysql password
$db_name="xxx"; // Database name
$tbl_name="customer_details"; // Table name
$id=$_POST['id'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$remarks=$_POST['remarks'];
$date=$_POST['date'];
$updated_remarks=$_POST['updated_remarks'];
$updated_date=$_POST['updated_date'];
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// update data in mysql database
$sql="UPDATE $tbl_name SET id='$id', name='$name', remarks='$remarks', date='$date', updated_remarks='$updated_remarks', updated_date='$updated_date' WHERE id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// if successfully updated.
if($result){
echo "Successful";
echo "<BR>";
header('Location: list_records.php');
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>
Now I am Explaining this.
When I am trying to search with id it displays entire row(all fields).
But When I click on Edit in that file it doesn't capture that row details(that fields) I am asking How to capture that row details(all fields).
Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

I figured out whats wrong with your code. Actually you are not passing any specific ID to your update.php page. You need to this part Edit inside your while loop and then pass id of each row inside the link. Update your update.php code like below, i think it will work:
//capture search term and remove spaces at its both ends if the is any
$searchTerm = trim($_GET['keyname']);
//check whether the name parsed is empty
if($searchTerm == "")
{
echo "Enter name you are searching for.";
exit();
}
//database connection info
$host = "xxx"; //server
$db = "xxx"; //database name
$user = "xxx"; //dabases user name
$pwd = "xxx"; //password
//connecting to server and creating link to database
$link = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pwd, $db);
//MYSQL search statement
$query = "SELECT * FROM customer_details WHERE id LIKE '%$searchTerm%'";
$results = mysqli_query($link, $query);
/* check whethere there were matching records in the table
by counting the number of results returned */
if(mysqli_num_rows($results) >= 1)
{
//$output = "";
echo '<table border=1 width=999>
<tr>
<th valign=top>ID</th>
<th valign=top>Name</th>
<th valign=top>Telephone</th>
<th valign=top>E-mail</th>
<th valign=top>Country Visiting for</th>
<th valign=top>Visa Category</th>
<th valign=top>Other Category</th>
<th valign=top>Passport No</th>
<th valign=top>Remarks</th>
<th valign=top>Date(Created)</th>
<th valign=top>Updated Remarks</th>
<th valign=top>Updated Date</th>
<th valign=top>Action</th>
</tr>';
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($results)) {
echo '
<tr>
<td>'.$row['id'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['name'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['Telephone'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['E_mail'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['country'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['visa_categeory'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['other_category'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['passport_no'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['remarks'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['date'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['updated_remarks'].'</td>
<td>'.$row['updated_date'].'</td>
<td>Edit</td>
</tr>';
}
echo '
</table>';
//echo $output;
}
else
echo "There was no matching record for the name " . $searchTerm;
?>
<div></div>

The proble you are facing is because the $id variable you have used in the search.php for HREF to update.php doesnt exist. place the DB value fetched in that variable first.
Also, its better to reuse the code using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] rather than all different files.
