RE: Sessions stuff for a confused programmer

Dagma20 · #1 18-Mar-2004, 19:57

Hi all i have a problem with my coding, i have just started messing around with sessions and have come up with a /biggish problem that i am stumped on. The problem is, is i have got some variables and put them in the sessions buffer from a page which would be viewed about 2 pages previous to this one (part of a web page modification system). I then call these variables into a .php form and processes them as part of the WHERE conditions in an update table, the problem is that because the syntax for the sessions variables is :

PHP Code:


[b]".[/b]$_SESSION['asessonthingy'][b]."[/b]

when i put this into the sql query statement it will not allow me to add the quotes at the end of thestatement like so below :

PHP Code:


$sql = mysql_query ("UPDATE Owner_WebPages SET Page_Title = '$Title', Property_Description = '$PD',  TCOLOUR = '$TCOLOUR', BG_Color_Code ='$BGR' WHERE Web_ID = ".$_SESSION['WebID']." AND WebPage_Password = ".$_SESSION['WebPwd']." [b]"[/b]  ) or die (mysql_error());

if i leave off the highlighted " to close the query it obviously has a go at me but when i put it on it chucks a parse error at me

.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Here is the full script below :
-----------------

PHP Code:


<? 
// start the session 
session_start(); 
header("Cache-control: private"); //IE 6 Fix 
 
include 'db.php'; 

$Title = $_POST['Title']; 
$PD = $_POST['PD']; 
$TCOLOUR = $_POST['TCOLOUR'];  
$BGR = $_POST['BGR']; 


$sql = mysql_query ("UPDATE Owner_WebPages SET Page_Title = '$Title', Property_Description = '$PD',  TCOLOUR = '$TCOLOUR', BG_Color_Code ='$BGR' WHERE Web_ID = ".$_SESSION['WebID']." AND WebPage_Password = ".$_SESSION['WebPwd']."  ) or die (mysql_error()); 
  

if (!$sql) { 

    echo ("There has been an error creating your account. Please contact the webmaster."); 

} else { 

    echo ("Well done you made it here, you have successfully modified your webpage. To view your changes, click on the link below to take you back to the Menu and select View a Property"); 

    echo ("<a href=brgtest.php>Click here to view your page </a>");
} 
?> 

</body>
</html>

Hello Dagma20,

I have it set up in this forum that regular BBCodes are not parsed inside CODE type bb codes.

back to your issue -

Try this and see if it works... I don't know if you were type-casting when you created the session variables so I will guess NOT.

PHP Code:


<?php
// ...
$sql = mysql_query( "UPDATE Owner_WebPages
                    SET Page_Title = '$Title',
                    Property_Description = '$PD',
                    TCOLOUR = '$TCOLOUR',
                    BG_Color_Code ='$BGR'
                    WHERE Web_ID = '$_SESSION[WebID]'
                    AND WebPage_Password = '$_SESSION[WebPwd]'"
                  )
                  or die( mysql_error() );
// ....
?>
