I have an html form which updates fields like usp, description, area etc of grocery stores. When i choose any grocery store to update it, the details that are already there in the database are fetched to the text area of the html form so that I can see what is there already before I can update it.
Let me give an example:
suppose these are the details already in the database for the two grocery stores.
GROCERY STORE1:
usp: fresh
description:very good store
area: boston
GROCERY STORE2:
usp:fresh products, nice store look, very good service, customer friendly, bla bla bla...
description: located in one of the poshest places of the city this store is unique bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla ..............
area: boston
Now when i used the html form to update these fields, it updates perfectly fine for GROCERY STORE1. But for GROCERY STORE2 it doesnt update. The reason I found out was that there is already too much text in the fields of GROCERY STORE2 . Then I went to my database and edited the details for GROCERY STORE2 to a minimum, for example usp: good, description:nice, area,boston. Now when I use the html form to update it , it works fine. So whenever there is too much text already, this html form doesnt seem to work. How can I solve this. Thanks in advance
PHP code is
<?php
if (!isset($_POST['usp']))
{
//If not isset -> set with dumy value
$_POST['usp'] = "";
}
if (!isset($_POST['area_served']))
{
//If not isset -> set with dumy value
$_POST['area_served'] = "";
}
if (!isset($_POST['description']))
{
//If not isset -> set with dumy value
$_POST['description'] = "";
}
if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
//If not isset -> set with dumy value
$_POST['submit'] = "";
}
$usp = $_POST['usp'];
$area_served = $_POST['area_served'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];
if($submit)
{
$insert=mysql_query("UPDATE stores SET usp='$usp',area_served='$area_served',description='$description', WHERE store_id=$storeid");
header("Location:updateinfo.php?city_id=$cityid&store_id=$storeid");
}
?>
