On Jul 24, 2003, "Matt Hedges" claimed that:

|Many hanks for ya'lls help earlier.
|
|I've figured out how to pull the data and edit it:
|http://www.hedges.org/aoii/olemiss/updatesister.php
|
|However, for some reason I can't get it to edit whatever row.  In the code
|(pasted below) I have to specificy $id=row to edit...
|
|I can't figure out how to make it to where the user can select the field
|(which is the id/row) and edit it.  I've tried putting a ?id=# at the end of
|the url, but that doesn't work...  Any thoughts?  So what I want is where it
|says
|
|$id=1
|
|to have it someway where that is a variable that the user can define...

[some code snipped]
|  else
|  {
|    $query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id='$id'";
|    $result = mysql_query($query)
|         or die ("Couldn't execute query.");
|    $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
|    extract($row);
|  }
|
|Thank you.
|Matt

Your page gives me "Warning: extract() expects first argument to be an
array in /c36/mhedges/aoii/olemiss/updatesister.php on line 32." Are you
sure you're using the correct table name? BTW, "table" is a MySQL
reserved keyword, so if it is the table name, it should be enclosed in
backticks: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Reserved_words.html
