Saat melewati kueri UPDATE, mysql_query()
mengembalikan boolean TRUE untuk keberhasilan dan FALSE untuk kegagalan, sedangkan mysql_num_rows()
hanya menerima resource resultset sebagai argumennya. Untuk menentukan berapa banyak baris kueri UPDATE yang terpengaruh, panggil mysql_affected_rows()
dengan sumber daya koneksi sebagai argumennya.
Ini tidak menyebabkan masalah yang Anda alami saat ini, tetapi Anda sangat disarankan untuk menambahkan or die(mysql_error())
ke mysql_query()
. Anda panggilan, untuk menangkap kesalahan MySQL yang terjadi. Anda akan lebih disarankan untuk mengabaikan mysql_*
fungsi sepenuhnya mendukung ekstensi PHP PDO, seperti yang direkomendasikan dalam manual PHP, dan yang benar-benar tidak menimbulkan lebih banyak overhead kognitif sebagai imbalan atas manfaat besar yang ditawarkannya dalam kemampuan dan keamanan.
Mengesampingkan itu, inilah cara saya mengubah kode Anda sehingga berperilaku lebih seperti yang Anda pikirkan:
<?php
// obtain a database connection
$dbConn = mysql_connect($serverName, $user_name, $password)
or die("Cannot connect to server: " . mysql_error() . "<br />\n");
// mysql error number rarely adds enough information to be worth including
// select the database
mysql_select_db($db_name, $dbConn)
or die("Couldn't select $db_name: " . mysql_error() . "<br />\n");
// obtain escaped versions of query data for inclusion in update query
// it is imperative to use mysql_real_escape_string() or equivalent if you're
// going to use mysql_* functions instead of the far preferable PDO
// prepared statements; if you don't escape your data, you leave open the
// possibility of SQL injection, which someone will certainly soon use to
// screw up your website horribly
$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);
$additional_notes = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['additional_notes']);
// assemble query to pass to mysql_query()
// no need for parentheses around the string; in fact i'm surprised that
// didn't result in a parse error
// also FYI re backticks, MySQL uses them to denote literal database/table/
// column names -- they're optional unless required to disambiguate between
// an entity name and a reserved word. for example, you can create a table
// containing a column named 'key', which is a MySQL reserved word, but you
// thereafter must refer to that column as `key`, with backticks, in any
// queries, to hint to MySQL's parser that you mean the column by that name
// and not the reserved word; otherwise, it's a parse error.
$sql = "UPDATE `rmstable2` SET `additional_notes` = '$additional_notes' WHERE `id` = '$id'";
// actually run the query
// this being an UPDATE query, the result is boolean and offers no
// additional useful information, so you need not capture it in a variable;
// the 'or die' clause will fire if it's false, and if it's true, you'll
// use mysql_affected_rows() to get the additional info you need.
mysql_query($sql)
or die(mysql_error());
// if the query failed, the script die()d on the previous line and didn't
// get here; if it did get here, you know the query succeeded
$resultcount = mysql_affected_rows($dbConn);
// this is technically correct but semantically odd; since you already included
// the 'additional_notes' value in the previous UPDATE query, and since
// that query certainly succeeded if we're evaluating this code at all,
// why run the same query again?
if ($resultcount == 1) {
mysql_query("UPDATE `rmstable2` SET `additional_notes` = '$additional_notes' WHERE `id` = '$id'")
or die(mysql_error());
}
// again, the 'or die' clauses mean that we can only have reached this point
// if the queries succeeded, so there's no need for an if() test here
echo "Update Successful!";
echo '<h3>Your case has been updated.</h3>';
// note the backslashes before the embedded double quotes; single quotes in
// tag attributes are technically invalid but most browsers will accept them,
// but you can use double quotes within a double-quoted string if you precede
// the embedded quotes with backslashes (called "escaping") to indicate that
// they're not to be taken as the end of the string
// (i.e., "\"\"" == '""')
echo "To see your changes please click <a href=\"/fullcase.php?id=$id\">here</a></b>";
