Can't Insert or Update Records

I am just getting started with building a website (for the first time) and have run into a roadblock on my admin side. I've created some very basic pages just to test out the functionality and I cannot insert or update any records in my database. I'm able to pull records fine, but when I try to submit the Update (attached as UpdateCode), all of the values reset to the original. Insert, which I created just to see if I could do it and is also attached, just reblanks the fields.

I'm using WAMP as the root user on my own machine. The connection is fine (test works OK and I can get data down from the server).

For the update code, the PlayerID is in fact a string, not an integer (it's a concatenation of first name last name date of birth), and anyway, the insert code is inserting to a database that only has two varchar columns.

UPDATE:

I found multiple problems with both files and have fixed everything I found, but still neither one works.

Please attach the current version of the files you are working on as .php pages so I can easily look at them. Include any error messages you are getting, or if it just doesn't do anything when the page submits and I'll take a look.

Files are attached as .php.

No errors, just no action.

Thanks!

You need to add : method="post" to your forms.

Thanks, that worked for the insert, but not for the update file. I think at one point early on I had tried that for the update and when it didn't work I changed it back to default and then didn't do anything with it when I made the insert version just to test.

I will say that the update file does insert null values into the columns that were previously blank, so it is doing something, it just won't overwrite the data that is already in the database.

Update the ID reference on line 36 from: $_GET['PlayerID'] to $_POST['PlayerID'] now that your form is posted... also each of the BindColumn bindings should be bound to the Form Variables... you have them all bound to the recordset values which makes no sense.

Thanks so much for putting up with my silliness, since I named each form entry the exact same as each table column, I wasn't able to tell that the list of names on the left side of the dialog referred to the database not the form fields. I am glad at least to be spared the list of embarrassing mistakes I found after my initial posting before anyone saw it.

Unfortunately, changing the second filter reference in the update php to post and rebinding the columns to the form fields didn't make it work. So I guess there is some other dumb mistake I made still in there. I've uploaded a revised file.

It looks good, but I see now that you can update the PlayerID... that means that you actually should be using $_GET['PlayerID'] on line36. Try that. If you were updating the PlayerID in your tests it wouldn't find or update the record since the playerID changed.

Working fine now. Thanks so much for all of your help.
