Question

With this way, I get results from database and “print” them. But I don’t know how I will update those results when I press the submit button!!! I just need an idea or something for the next step. Thank you in advance!!!

Here is an example of my code…

<?php // DATABASE QUERY
      $query="SELECT countdown_module, hometeam_position
                FROM jos_gm_nextmatch
               WHERE id = 1";
      $result=mysql_query($query);

      // DATABASE VARIABLES
      $countdown_module = mysql_result($result,$i,"countdown_module");
      $hometeam_position = mysql_result($result,$i,"hometeam_position"); ?>

<form action="***.php" method="post" name="form">

<input name="countdown_module" value="<?php echo $countdown_module ?>" type="text" />

<select name="hometeam_position">
<option value="<?php echo $hometeam_position ?>"><?php echo $hometeam_position ?></option>
<option disabled="disabled" value="...">...</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">3</option>
<option value="5">5</option>

<input name="submit" type="submit" value="UPDATE" />

</form>

You would use the form action to redirect to a script where you do the update. On this script you can access the the forms input elements by using the $_POST array. As for how to do update queries, an example could be:

$query="UPDATE mytable 
        SET title = '".$title."', name = '".$name."', date = '".$date."' 
        WHERE id = ".$id;
$result=mysql_query($query);

UPDATE:

An example of the script could be:

$hometeam_position = $_POST['hometeam_position']; //access the selected option when submitting
$countdown_module = $_POST['countdown_module']; //access the text input

$query = "UPDATE jos_gm_nextmatch SET countdown_module = '".$countdown_module."', hometeam_position = '".$hometeam_position."' WHERE id = 1";
$result=mysql_query($query);
