Hello all I have a small problem where by my database is not updating my simple testimonial app! My app works fine when inserting an entry into the database with this parsing script..
<?php
$testtitle = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9""-. ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_tt']);
$testbody = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9""-. ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_tb']);
$compowner = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9 ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_co']);
$ownertitle = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9 ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_ot']);
$compname = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9 ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_cn']);
$compwebsite = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9 .-]#i', '', $_POST['ts_cw']);
include_once "../php_includes/db_conx.php";
$sql = "INSERT INTO testimonials (testtitle, testbody, compowner, ownertitle, compname, compwebsite)
VALUES ('$testtitle', '$testbody', '$compowner', '$ownertitle', '$compname', '$compwebsite')";
if (!mysql_query($sql, $connection)){
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
exit();
?>
I find that my Updating script does not update! Am I missing something here guys? Many thanks...
<?php
$pid = $_POST['pid'];
$testtitle = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9""-. ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_tt']);
$testbody = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9""-. ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_tb']);
$compowner = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9 ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_co']);
$ownertitle = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9 ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_ot']);
$compname = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9 ]#i', '', $_POST['ts_cn']);
$compwebsite = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9 .-]#i', '', $_POST['ts_cw']);
include_once "../php_includes/db_conx.php";
$sql = "UPDATE testimonials SET testtitle='$testtitle', testbody='$testbody', compowner='$compowner', ownertitle='$ownertitle', compname='$compname', compwebsite='$compwebsite' WHERE id='$pid' LIMIT 1";
if (!mysql_query($sql, $connection)){
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
exit();
?>

Hi all as requested here is my HTML form as requested! Yea I know it's in a Table. I also have some php code above the form which is this...
<?php
$pid = ereg_replace("[^0-9]", "", $_POST['pid']);
include_once "../php_includes/db_conx.php";
$sql = "SELECT testtitle, testbody, compowner, ownertitle, compname, compwebsite FROM testimonials WHERE id='$pid' LIMIT 1";
$query = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die (mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$testtitle = $row["testtitle"];
$testtitle = str_replace("<br />", "", $testtitle);
$testbody = $row["testbody"];
$testbody = str_replace("<br />", "", $testbody);
$compowner = $row["compowner"];
$ownertitle = $row["ownertitle"];
$compname = $row["compname"];
$compwebsite = $row["compwebsite"];
}
mysql_free_result($query);
?>
