Question

I set up a enable/disable button in an admin panel

http://brettadamsga.com/development/madisonweddings/admin/clients.php

The buttons work sometimes, and then at other times don’t, I have no idea what could cause this. Any ideas?

Creates the list of clients

<?php
    dbcon();
    $navQuery = 'SELECT * FROM mw_clients WHERE status = 1';
    $li = mysql_query($navQuery);
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($li){
        echo "<tr><td><a href=\"index.php?loc=" . $row['clientSlug'] . "\">" . $row['name'] . "</a></td><td align=\"center\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"changeStatus.php?type=2&id=" . $row['id'] . "&status=0\">&#10005;</a></td></tr>";
    }
?>

changeStatus.php

<?php
require ('../common.php');

$type=$_GET["type"];
$id=$_GET["id"];
$status=$_GET["status"];

if ($status == 0 && $type == 1)
    {
        dbcon();
        $query = "UPDATE mw_cats SET status=0 WHERE id=" . $id . "";
        if (mysql_query($query))
            {
                echo mysql_error();
                mysql_close();
                header ('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
                header ('Location: categories.php');
            } else {
                echo '<p>Could not change status</p>';
            }
    }

if ($status == 1 && $type == 1)
    {
        dbcon();
        $query = "UPDATE mw_cats SET status=1 WHERE id=" . $id . "";
        if (mysql_query($query))
            {
                echo mysql_error();
                mysql_close();
                header ('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
                header ('Location: categories.php');
            } else {
                echo '<p>Could not change status</p>';
            }
    }

if ($status == 0 && $type == 2)
    {
        dbcon();
        $query = "UPDATE mw_clients SET status=0 WHERE id=" . $id . "";
        if (mysql_query($query))
            {
                echo mysql_error();
                mysql_close();
                header ('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
                header ('Location: clients.php');
            } else {
                echo '<p>Could not change status</p>';
            }
    }

if ($status == 1 && $type == 2)
    {
        dbcon();
        $query = "UPDATE mw_clients SET status=1 WHERE id=" . $id . "";
        if (mysql_query($query))
            {
                echo mysql_error();
                mysql_close();
                header ('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
                header ('Location: clients.php');
            } else {
                echo '<p>Could not change status</p>';
            }
    }

It is being caused by your permanent redirects. They get cached by the browser so the next time you access it goes direct to the redirected page instead of running the script.
