The tutorial says any name=value pairs in the querystring "automatically creates a variable with the name and value the querystring indicated". This does not seem to be happening.
I have installed: RedHat 9.0 Mysql 4.0.13 PHP 4.3.2
I have connected to databases, displayed info from database but cannot get data from the form into the database.
I have also not been able to get $PHP_SELF* to display anything.
Here is a sample code I have been using: <html>
<body>
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root");
mysql_select_db("mydb",$db);
// display individual record
if ($id) {
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employees WHERE id=$id",$db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
printf("First name: %s\n<br>", $myrow["first"]);
printf("Last name: %s\n<br>", $myrow["last"]);
printf("Address: %s\n<br>", $myrow["address"]);
printf("Position: %s\n<br>", $myrow["position"]);
} else {
// show employee list
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employees",$db);
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// display list if there are records to display
do {
printf("<a href=\"%s?id=%s\">%s %s</a><br>\n", $PHP_SELF, $myrow["id"], $myrow["first"], $myrow["last"]);
} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
} else {
// no records to display
echo "Sorry, no records were found!";
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Thanks for any help.
