Hi Everyone

Thanks for all the info and help with this, I have decided to write a separate function for changing the password. That way I can compare the original password with the one inputted in the database, and then change it after both have been the old and new password have been verified :)

So Thanks! :)

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to update a record for a login system while leaving certain fields untouched if they arn't changed, and am running into issues.

Basically what I want to do, is say I have these fields:

Field1
Field2
Field3
Field4

I update Field1 and Field3 but not Field2 and Field4. What I want to do is change the values in Field1 and Field3 without touching the values in Field2 and Field4.

I have tried this code:
                $tab = "\t";
if (!isset($_POST['txtLoginName']) || empty($_POST['txtLoginName'])) {
                
$loginName = mysqli_real_escape_string($chpwpostlink, $_POST['txtLoginName']);
                }
                else
                {
                        $loginName = $tab;
                }

which works the fields that I've changed, but if I don't submit a value in the form it sets the field to be blank in MySQL. Which is what I am trying to avoid. Any ideas?
