I am new to PHP and MySQL, everything I have here is what I could find in tutorials.
I have the following code to select playersid and name:
<form action="process.php" method="post" />
<div>
<label for="list">Select Player: </label>
<select name="list">
<option value=''>-----SELECT-----</option>
<?php
$conn = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'gw32', 'buggy1', 'fripoker');
$result = mysqli_query($conn, 'SELECT playersid, name FROM players');
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "<option value='$row[playersid]'>$row[name]</option>";
}
?>
</select>
Then I have a separate program to insert into table:
<?php
include 'config.php';
$player = $_POST['list'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$players = $_POST['number'];
$date = $_POST['week'];
$attend = $_POST['attend'];
$points = $_POST['points'];
$payout = $_POST['payout'];
$high_hand = $_POST['high_hand'];
$fifty_fifty = $_POST['fifty_fifty'];
$sql = "INSERT INTO data (playersid, name, players, dateid, attend, points, payout, high_hand, fifty_fifty) VALUES ('$player', '$name', '$players', '$date', '$attend', '$points', '$payout', '$high_hand', '$fifty_fifty')";
if (!mysql_query($sql)) {
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
/* Redirect browser */
header("Location:
http://dev.earringcloset.com/poker/index.php";);
/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>
Problem is twofold 1) it will not insert name into table and 2) I can not get it to return to the first program to insert more data.
Thanks in advance.
