I just wanted to thank everyone for helping me with the script for my school project. But, of course I must esp. thank JODY, (the man!!). Go ahead Jody, eat up the glory! :) Renee Here is part of the script in its final form if anyone is interested:
<?track_vars?> <?php $user = "adminer"; $pass = "hoosiers"; $db = "Book Store1"; $local = "jolinux"; $link = mysql_connect( "$local", $user, $pass ); if (! $link ) die ( "Couldn't open the database" ); mysql_select_db( $db, $link ) or die ( "Couldn't open the $db: ".mysql_error() ); if(($booktitle) AND ($quantity) ){ $newstock= $Stock-$quantity; $mysql = "UPDATE Book2 SET Stock =$newstock WHERE booktitle='$booktitle'"; // AND quantity=$quantity"; $result = mysql_query($mysql); } else { echo "Your order has not been placed.<p>"; }
