I have two files which show all contats in a database, then edits them. The second
script keeps directing the browser back due to this part. I cant work out how to make it work! :)
<?php
if (!$_POST[id]) {
header( "Location: pick_modcontact.php");
exit;
} else {
session_start();
}
if ($_SESSION[valid] != "yes") {
header( "Location: pick_modcontact.php");
exit;
}
This
script shows all contacts in a database which is an "address book" this part works fine. please see below.
Name:pick_modcontact.php
if ($_SESSION[valid] != "yes") {
header( "Location: contact_menu.php");
exit;
}
$db_name = "testDB";
$table_name = "my_contacts";
$connection = @mysql_connect("localhost", "admin", "user") or die(mysql_error());
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
$sql = "SELECT id, f_name, l_name FROM $table_name ORDER BY f_name";
$result = @mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
$num = @mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($num < 1) {
$display_block = "<p><em>Sorry No Results!</em></p>";
} else {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['id'];
$f_name = $row['f_name'];
$l_name = $row['l_name'];
$option_block .= "<option value\"$id\">$f_name, $l_name</option>";
}
$display_block = "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"show_modcontact.php\">
<p><strong>Contact:</strong>
<select name=\"id\">$option_block</select>
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Select This Contact\"></p>
</form>";
}
?>
