  1. Thanks. That's what it was - I'd typed $_GET instead of $_POST. I really appreciate you taking the time to look at these. The second pair of eyes - much appreciated! Mike
  2. So, While I've played with this every which way I have discovered that, the id variable that shows in the url (localhost/sitename/delete_user.php?id=6) disappears from the url when I click the Submit button (localhost/sitename/delete_user.php). Please can you explain where it went, why that does that, and how to prevent that? Thanks M
  3. Hi Jonathon, The error for the 9.2 script is: The user could not be deleted due to a system error. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 1 Query: DELETE FROM users WHERE user_id= LIMIT 1 What's odd is that if I run the script and echo the variable $id right after the first isset conditional, it is empty. However, it exists everywhere else. Since $id is empty, the query fails and presents that error. I can echo $id in every part of the code and it's there, except after those conditionals. Thanks in advance! the code is: <?php # Script 9.2 - delete_user.php //This page is for deleting a user record. //This page is accessed through view_users.php $page_title = 'Delete a User'; include('includes/header.htm'); echo '<h1>Delete a User</h1>'; //Check for a valid user ID, through GET or POST: if( (isset($_GET['id'])) && (is_numeric($_GET['id'])) ) { //From view_users.php $id = $_GET['id']; } elseif ( (isset($_POST['id'])) && (is_numeric($_POST['id'])) ) { // Form submission. $id = $_GET['id']; } else { // No valid ID - kill the script --- echo '<p class = "error">This page has been accessed in error.</p>'; include('includes/footer.html'); exit(); } require_once('../called_functions/mysqli_connect.php'); //Check if the form has been submitted" if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) { if($_POST['sure'] == 'Yes') { //Delete the record. //Make the query: $q = "DELETE FROM users WHERE user_id=$id LIMIT 1"; $r = @mysqli_query($dbc, $q); if (mysqli_affected_rows($dbc) == 1 ) { //If it ran OK //Print a message: echo '<p>The user has been deleted.</p>'; } else { // If the query did not run OK. echo '<p class="error">The user could not be deleted due to a system error.</p>'; //Public Message. echo '<p>' . mysqli_error($dbc) . '<br />Query: ' . $q . '</p>'; // Debugging message. } } else { // No confirmation of deletion echo'<p>The user has NOT been deleted.</p>'; } } else { //Show the form //Retrieve the users information: $q = "SELECT CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name) FROM users WHERE user_id=$id"; $r = @mysqli_query ($dbc, $q); if (mysqli_num_rows($r) == 1) { // Valid user ID, show the form // Get the user's information $row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_NUM); //Create the form" echo '<form action="delete_user.php" method="post"> <h3>Name: ' . $row[0] . '</h3> <p>Are you sure you want to delete this user?<br /> <input type="radio" name="sure" value="Yes" /> Yes <input type="radio" name="sure" value="No" checked="checked" /> No</p> <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></p> <input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" /> <input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $id . '" /> </form>'; } else { // Not a valid user ID. echo '<p class="error">This page has been accessed in error.</p>'; } } // End of the main submission conditional. mysqli_close($dbc); include('includes/footer.html'); ?>
  4. Yes! Thank You. Same problem in the other script too. if (You can find that code error -> on your phone!!!!) { echo "Maybe you can help me find the next error"; } however { I'll try and figure it out myself first } Thanks!!! You - are a prince! Thanks
  5. Thanks Jonathon, Yes I am using the @ error suppressor - that's what's in the book. Should I remove it? Thank you so much! Here's the code: <?php # Script 9.3 - edit_user.php // This page is for editing a user record. // This page is accessed through view_users.php $page_title = 'Edit a User'; include('includes/header.htm'); echo '<h1>Edit a User</h1>'; // Check for a valid user ID, through Get or Post: if( (isset($_GET['id'])) && (is_numeric($_GET['id'])) ) { // From view_users.php $id = $_GET['id']; } elseif ( (isset($_POST['id'])) && (is_numeric($_POST['id'])) ) { // Form Submission $id= $_POST['id']; } else { // No valid ID, kell the script. echo '<p class="error">This page has been accessed in error.</p>'; include('includes/footer.html'); exit(); } require_once('../called_functions/mysqli_connect.php'); // Check if the form has been submitted: if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) { $errors = array(); // Check for a first name: if(empty($_POST['first_name'])) { $errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your first name.'; } else { $fn = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($_POST['first_name'])); } // Check for the last name: if(empty($_POST['last_name'])) { $errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your last name.'; } else { $ln = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($_POST['email'])); } // Check for an email address: if (empty($_POST['email'])) { $errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your email address'; } else { $ln = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($_POST['email'])); } if (empty($errors)) { // If everything is ok // Test for unique email addresses: $q = "SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE email = '$e' AND user_id != $id"; $r = @mysqli_query($dbc, $q); if (mysqli_num_rows($r) == 0) { // Make query $q = "UPDATE users SET first_name='$fn', last_name='$ln', email='$e' WHERE user_id=$id LIMIT 1"; $r = @mysqli_query ($dbc, $q); if (mysqli_affected_rows($dbc) == 1) { // If it ran ok ... // Print a message: echo '<p>The user has been edited.</p>'; } else { // If it did not run OK echo'<p class="error">The user could not be edited due to a system error.

  6. Hi, Old novice I am - confused and frustrated I'm getting. I see the following error: Warning: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in C:\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\websitename\edit_user.php on line 91 This happens in scripts 9.2 and 9.3 when they are called from script 9.1 I can't tell if this is because I think I'm talking to the database and I'm not, or if there's something about the setup I have of XAAMP - which I kind of doubt - or if there's something wrong with script 9.1. That's why I didn't initially post the code - cause I don't know what'd be helpful. I have looked over the code in 9.1 and 9.2 with a fine tooth comb. Found mistakes but nothing that fixed this error. What causes mysqli_num_rows() to return a boolean? I have been searching everywhere. Did I miss something in Larry's explanation? I'm sure it's right in front of me ... I'll be dayng-ed if I can find it! Help - and Thanks! Mike
