Question

I am getting tired trying to see what is wrong. I have two php. From the first I am sending a variable ‘select1’ (basically the id) to the second and than I want to update that record uploading a pdf file.

$id = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['select1'])) {
  $id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['select1']);
}



if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
    $my_upload->the_temp_file = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
    $my_upload->the_file = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
    $my_upload->http_error = $_FILES['upload']['error'];
    if ($my_upload->upload()) { // new name is an additional filename information, use this to rename the uploaded file
        mysql_query(sprintf("UPDATE sarcini1 SET file_name = '%s' WHERE id_sarcina = '%s'", $my_upload->file_copy, $id));
    }
}

If I put a line with a valid id, like:

$id = 14;

it is working. What I am doing wrong? Thank you!

If you need to accept both post & get, then you should try something like the code below to retrieve the variable.

$var = 'select1';
if( isset( $_POST[$var] ) ) {
    $id = $_POST[$var];
} else if( isset( $_GET[$var] ) ) {
    $id = $_GET[$var];
} else {
    $id = -1;
}
