WYSIWYG - Can read, can't write to db.

i've got a little problem with EditWorksPro. I'm trying to get data out of a MySQL database, edit it, and put it back in.
Well so far so good. With the help files i’ve got it done. BUT...
i use this as navigation:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

for ($x=0; $x < count($db0->result); $x++){

        echo("

        <tr>

        <td width='45'>

        <A href='test.php?id=".$db0->result[$x][0]."'>".$db0->result[$x][1]."</A>

        </td>

        </tr>

            

        ");

    }

?>

well this is the script i'm talking about

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

$c = mysql_connect($dbServer, $dbUser, $dbPass) or die("Couldn't connect to database");

$d = mysql_select_db($dbName) or die("Couldn't select database");



if(@$_POST["save"] == "true")

{

$content = $myEW->GetValue(true);

$result = @mysql_query("update myTable set content = '$content' where id = '$id'");





echo "Content.php $id saved!<br><br><a href='test.php?id=$id'>Continue</a>";

}

else

{

$result = mysql_query("select content from myTable where id = '$id'");



if($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

$data = $row["content"];

else

$data = "";



$myEW->SetValue($data);

?>

if I put for example ' where id = 2' everything works fine. He opens the page with ?id=2 and saves it the right way. But when i put ' where id = '$id' . He won't save correctly although he does read the right page. So he does open the page with the correct id...... But he looses his identity halfway through.

i'm confused

hey, I'm not sure if this will make a difference, but at first glance, if the $id is a integer in the database, I think you could try removing the ' ' quotes around the $id....

so it would be

PHP Code:


		
			
 $result = mysql_query("select content from myTable where id = $id");

Question for you Lizzy, where are you declaring $id ? are you passing it through to the script via URL? I don't see it in the script.. try adding this code in and see if it helps..

PHP Code:


		
			
 $id = $_GET['id'];

if (!$id){

    $id = $_POST['id'];

}

Just a thought.. I didn't see where you were declaring it anywhere in the code

Hope it helps

No worries

I'm glad I could help ya out! Sometimes it just takes someone who doesn't have as much experience as everyone else <namely myself! though I am coming up in the PHP world

> to look at it from another perspective.. sometimes it's an easy answer that is just staring at you, sometimes it's a toughie.. either way.. as long as it gets resolved

Glad to be of assistance

$_REQUEST["var_name"]

FYI as opposed to checking both $_GET & $_POST you can just use $_REQUEST["var_name"], which will access get and post vars automatically
