I’m new to PHP and after looking on the web for the last hour I couldn’t find out what was wrong with my code so I come to you. Im trying to have a place to update my data collected from a from. I get this error. Undefined index: id in /Users/mm1/Desktop/php/backend form/edit_ac.php on line 12. Here is what I have so far. Can someone please help..
<?php require("database.php"); ?>
<?php require("functions.php"); ?>
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
$id= mysql_prep($_GET['id']);
$last= mysql_prep($_POST['last']);
$first= mysql_prep($_POST['first']);
// update data in mysql database
$sql="UPDATE $tbl_name SET first='{$first}', last='{$last}' WHERE id='{$id}'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// if successfully updated.
if($result){
echo "Successful";
echo "<BR>";
echo "<a href='edit_info.php'>View result</a>";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>
Here is the form (I know it all isn’t complete I’m just trying to get it to work first.)
<?php require("database.php"); ?>
<?php // Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// get value of id that sent from address bar
$id=$_GET['id'];
// Retrieve data from database
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
