LOOK DOWN FOR HELPING ME ON A OTHER PROBLEM

PHP Code:


			
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
include("db_connect.php");

$sql = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `id` = '".$id."'";
                $query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
        while($sel_table = mysql_fetch_array($query)) 
        {
  print $sel_table['username'];

}
    $net = "UPDATE `users` SET `username` = '".$username."', `password` = '".$password."' WHERE `id` = '".$id."'";
    $web_result = mysql_query($net) or die(mysql_error());


?>

no errors are made i am trying to do print $sel_table['username'] or even post the id or something but for some reason it do not print..

so please tell me whats wrong :S

//Code,-No flame please ;)-

CREATE TABLE `users` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `username` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `password` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
  `email` text NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;

Where are you getting $id from? And there's nothing going on inside of your while loop so I'm not sure where you're getting the other variables from either, but if $id is an empty value then chances are your query isn't returning any errors, but it's not returning any data either.

I just want to know why it is not letting me get any of the data from db table users?..

like $sel_table['username']
or $username as a var,

Thank you in adv.

EDIT:
i get bool(false) bool(true)
on

Code:

var_dump($sel_table);
var_dump($web_result);

That's what I'm trying to do as well.

Which is why I was wondering if maybe that was an incomplete code segment and perhaps the problem was located elsewhere, since I can't see anywhere that $id is being defined, and if you're searching for an empty ID, or an ID that doesn't exist in the table, then you're going to get an empty result which would be why $sel_table isn't receiving any data.

codefreek · 06-26-2008, 09:49 PM

That is the code segment, i didn't code anything else yet because of the fact that the code is not working

Ok to make it damn easy, echo the $sql variable. I bet we can learn much more from that :)

I go with delayedinsanity, you cannot use variables that don't exist (yet). You first have to create the variables that you want to be used. Both $id and $username don't exist, so they will return NULL. (NULL = basically _nothing_)

Edit// Damn too late :(

PHP Code:

        header("Location: index.php"); // Goes to main page.

        exit(); // Stops the rest of the script.

} else {

        if (!isset($_POST[&#8217;submit’])) { // The form has not been submitted.

                $password = md5($_POST[&#8216;password’]); // Encrypts the password.

               

                $q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE username = ‘$username’ AND password = ‘$password’") or die (mysql_error()); // mySQL query

                $r = mysql_num_rows($q); // Checks to see if anything is in the db.

               

                if ($r == 1) { // There is something in the db. The username/password match up.

                        $_SESSION[&#8216;logged’] = 1; // Sets the session.

                } else { // Invalid username/password.

                        exit("Incorrect username/password!"); // Stops the script with an error message.

                }

        }

}

?>

if you see #8216 in the form :S it is the forum that is making that not me :S
here is code on
PasteBin.be
pastebin if some one wants to take a look at the script in a more clean space,

delayedinsanity · 06-26-2008, 11:03 PM

Your form might be causing the problem. You need the fields to look something more like

PHP Code:


			
echo '<input type="text" name="username" value="' . $username . '" />';
echo '<input type="text" name="password" value="' . $password . '" />';

There is nothing in $_POST['username'] or $_POST['password'] because you're using variables to determine the name of those fields. So for all we know, the information could be showing up in $_POST['codefreek']. More likely it's going nowhere, as the name field is probably empty when the page is displayed.

Might I suggest using CSS to style your forms too?

codefreek · 06-26-2008, 11:30 PM

codefreek · 06-26-2008, 11:33 PM

Some Thing is still wrong, i know everything should work now but it do not work!

delayedinsanity · 06-27-2008, 12:20 AM

When you're using single quotes (') you don't have to escape double quotes (") and visa versa. This isn't how I would do it normally, but to fit with the style of what you're doing;

PHP Code:


			
if ( ! isset($username))
{
    $username = '';
}

if ( ! isset($password))
{
    $password = '';
}

$szForm = <<<FORM
<form action="users.php" name="login" method="post"> 
<table> 
    <tr><td>username</td>
        <td><input type="text" name="username" value="{$username}" /></td>
    </tr> 

    <tr><td>password</td>
        <td><input type="password" name="password" value="{$password}" /></td>
    </tr>

    <tr><td colspan="2"><input type='submit' name='login' value='login' /></td></tr> 
</table> 
</form>
FORM;

echo $szForm;

Typos and simple mistakes can happen to anybody at anytime, so never be afraid to view the source directly from your browser, or echo any variables to the screen temporarily to check them, and so on and so forth.
