UPDATE MySQL data via web forms?
So i am working on a CMS for a certain genre of websites, not much detail is needed but I am having some issues. I am trying to make it for that they can update the website details from a php page and for some reason it wont update the database..
Form/PHP:
PHP Code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// Define Variables
$websitename = $_POST['websitename'];
$tagline = $_POST['tagline'];
$websiteurl = $_POST['websiteurl'];
$contactemail = $_POST['contactemail'];
// Attempt To Update
$update = mysql_query"UPDATE settings SET `sitename` = '$websitename' ") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($update) > 0
{
echo 'SUCCESS';
}
else
{
echo 'FAILZOR';
}
} else {
?>
<form action="" method="POST" id="settings" name="settings ">
Website Name: <br />
<label class="mediumInput">
<input name="websitename" id="websitename" type="text" size="75" />
</label>
<br />
<small>This will show up in the tab bar in your browser and all over the website.</small>
<p>Tagline (Description): <br />
<label class="textareasmall">
<textarea name="tagline" id="tagline" rows="2" cols="5"></textarea>
</label>
<br />
<small>This will show up on search engines under the name and will give a basic description of your website.</small></p>
<p>Website URL: <br />
<label class="mediumInput">
<input type="text" name="websiteurl" id="websiteurl" size="75"/>
</label>
<br />
<small>This is the URL to where you have this installed, It is recommend you do not change unless you know what you are doing.</small></p>
<p>Contact Email: <br />
<label class="mediumInput">
<input name="contactemail" id="contactemail" type="text" size="75" />
</label>
<br />
<small>This is where emails will be sent to when contact form is used, as well as when emails are sent out.</small></p>
<p>
<input name="submit" id="submit" type="image" src="../images/bt_submit.gif" />
</p>
</form>
<?php
}
?>
I have updated the entire file here:
http://pastie.org/470648
PHP for Form starts on line: 170
Im not sure why its not updating, i know all my variables are right. I don't receive any errors at all, I hit submit and it just reloads the page and removes all entered text on the input
