I'm wondering if someone might look over my code and see what i might have done wrong.
I've spent so much time trying to tear this apart...rebuild...move thing around change things I cannot figure this out... I was hoping for some fresh eyes.
I'm trying to have three different select boxes along the top that allow you to choose a school, the month and the year. Then a table is outputted from those results with some javscript that when you check the checkbox, or choose a date, or add a comment that it's automatically added to the database.
I've used this code and when I take out the whole choosing a school and it's just present for one school ...removing the $school =$_POST['school']; and such it works perfectly...but i need to be able to change schools
Everytime you refresh the page the $school seems to be empty so it reverts to the default and doesn't save anything. I've tried everything i can think of and nothing will make the school not empty when you fresh....choosing schools from the drop down it does show the right schools and everything though
Hopefully someone can help...thanks
PHP Code:
<?php
//connect to database
$school =$_POST['school'];
//determine current school if empty
if(empty($school)){
$school='school';
}
$yr = $_POST['yr'];
//determine current yr if empty
if (empty($yr)) {
$currYr = date('Y');
$currMonth= date('m');
if ($currMonth<=09 && $currMonth>=12){
$currYr2=date('Y')+1;
$yr= $currYr."_". $currYr2;
} else {
$currYr2=date('Y')-1;
$yr= $currYr2."_". $currYr;
}
}
//change yr for looks
$year = preg_replace('/_/', ' - ', $yr);
//Set date language to french and determine month
setlocale (LC_TIME, 'fr_FR');
$month = $_POST['month'];
//determine current month if empty
if(empty($month)){
$month = strftime ("%B");
$month = ucwords($month);
}
//creates table name
$tableName = $school.$yr;
//Updates database with content from editable textarea
if(is_numeric($_GET['id']) && isset($_GET['comment']))
{
$query = "UPDATE $tableName SET comment = '".mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_GET['comment']))."' WHERE cat_id = ".(int)$_GET['id'];
$result = mysql_query($query,$db_link) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
//Updates database with content from checkbox
if(isset($_GET['chkmark']) && isset($_GET['catID']))
{
$chkmark = $_GET['chkmark'];
$catID = $_GET['catID'];
if ($chkmark == 'false'){
$chkmark='on';
} else {
$chkmark='off';
}
$query2 = "UPDATE $tableName SET confirm = '".$chkmark."' WHERE cat_id = ".$catID."";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2,$db_link) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
//Updates database with content from datepicker
if(isset($_GET['date']) && isset($_GET['cat_ID']))
{
$date = $_GET['date'];
$catID = $_GET['cat_ID'];
$query2 = "UPDATE $tableName SET date = '".$date."' WHERE cat_id = ".$catID."";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2,$db_link) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
