Question

if ('$o1s' == 1) {
    $ocode = 1;
    $query6 = "UPDATE `offer_det` SET `ocode`='$ocode' WHERE `fname`='$fname' AND `lname`='$lname'";
           $result6 = mysql_query($query6)or die(mysql_error()); 
}

$o1s is a radio select, essentially 1 = selected, 0 = not selected. ocode is the row in the database to be updated. $fname is the first name of the logged in user and $lname is the last name of the logged in user.

My thought process is if o1s is selected then update ocode to 1 where the first and last names match. I’m not seeing any action on the results though. This is a session post form. Can I even use the AND during an UPDATE?

Answer 1

this line needs to be like this,

if ($o1s == 1) { //checking a variable, not a string with a '$'

Also, check the $_POST array for the corresponding value of o1s when its selected and not, you would have to put an isset check when its not. And yes, you can use AND for an update
