could anyone look this code over and tell me why it doesnt update the database? I know its hacked together, I am a novice at PHP
thanks in advance
<?php
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE depot = 'plainview'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Count table rows
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
//update
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
$sql1 = "UPDATE $tbl_name SET
available='{$_POST['available'][$i]}',
rent='{$_POST['rent'][$i]}',
corp_ready='{$_POST['corp_ready'][$i]}',
down='{$_POST['down'][$i]}',
gfs='{$_POST['gfs'][$i]}',
dateTime = NOW()
WHERE id='$id[$i]'";
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1) or die(mysql_error());
}
}
//redirect
if($result1){
header("location: plainview.php");
}
mysql_close();
?>
