Guys, am not having much luck...and I've tried and tried. Have included the code below. Am doing this in Dreamweaver hence the funny code. This is the edit page. I successfully parsed 'bet_id' value from Page 1 to this page. It populates the form fields with the correct 'bet_id' and 'category_id' values based on the value parsed from page 1. Problem comes to when I update the values in the form. If I update the 'category_id' value and hit the Update bet button, the script does not update the bet record in my database. Any help much appreciated.
<?php require_once('../Connections/punters_c.php'); ?>
<?php
mysql_select_db($database_punters_c, $punters_c);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT bet_id, punter_id,category_id FROM betslip where bet_id =".intval($_REQUEST['bet_id']);
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $punters_c) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
##the below function removes dodgy field values
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
$theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "long":
case "int":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "double":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "date":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "defined":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
break;
}
return $theValue;
}
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}
