UPDATE - Changing Password

Hi.

Does anyone know how to use UPDATE with PHP for changing a password? I've
tried the following code:

$query = "UPDATE patperinfo SET trim(password)='$newpw' WHERE
trim(gpid)='$gpidno'";
$result = pg_exec($database, $query);

where new $newpw & $gpidno are the values entered into a form then passed to
the script.

I get the following error:

Warning: PostgreSQL query failed: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "("
at character 27 in /home/webpages/yamkedoo/Tests/chpw1.php on line 48

where the error is on the line: $result = pg_exec($database, $query);

Thanx :-)

$query = "UPDATE tablename SET password = '$newpw' WHERE ...

I don't know why you'd trim a fieldname while setting it.

Are you getting the same exact error at the same exact character in your
query? Send me your error and I'll help you more.

Re: UPDATE - Changing Password

Hi.

I think i've sorted the previous problem now, it was a stupid error on my
part. But the update is still not working.

I'm using the following script:

else
{
$gdidno = addslashes(trim($formgpid));
$newpw = addslashes(trim($formnewpw));
/*$newpw1 = addslashes(trim($formnewpw1));*/

$query = "UPDATE gpinfo SET password='$newpw' WHERE gpid='$gpidno'";
$result = pg_exec($database, $query);


if(!$result)
{
print "There was a problem accessing the database";
exit;
}
else if(pg_numrows($result)!=1)
{
print "Update Failed\n";
exit;
}
else
{

print "Update Successful\n
";

}
}

It is just printing Update Failed now. Can u see where i'm going wrong?

Visit the following link: www.cyber.brad.ac.uk/~yamkedoo/Tests/chpw.html

Username: jjsanderson
Password: sanderso

Then on the next page, GP ID: GP000001
New Password: hello

and ignore retype password for now. As u can see, it is printing update
failed. Can u see the prob?

Cheers

Re: UPDATE - Changing Password

Hi.

I have changed the code as suggested, but still no luck, and a new error.
The error is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pg_affected_rows() in
/home/webpages/yamkedoo/Tests/chpw1.php on line 55

I used the following code:

if(!$database)
{
echo "Connection Failed
";
exit;
}

else
{
$gdidno = addslashes(trim($formgpid));
$newpw = addslashes(trim($formnewpw));
$newpw1 = addslashes(trim($formnewpw1));

$query = "UPDATE gpinfo SET password='$newpw' WHERE gpid='$gpidno'";
$result = pg_exec($database, $query);

if(!$result)
{
print "There was a problem accessing the database";
exit;
}
else if(pg_affected_rows($result)!=1)
{
print "Update Failed\n";
exit;
}
else if($result)
{

print "Update Successful\n
";

}
}


I tried removing this section of the code: else
if(pg_affected_rows($result)!=1)
{
print "Update Failed\n";
exit;
}

as this is where the error is, then got "Update Successful", but the
password had not been updated.

Any ideas?

This means that you are using a PHP version < 4.2.0 . Use pg_cmdtuples()
instead.

In this case, this just means that the query is either failing or not being
committed. 1) verify that the query should execute successfully--i.e. have
your script output the $query value and then use that in the command line
interface; 2) is the query executing in a transaction? There may be server
configurations forcing the issue. To make sure, send "COMMIT" before closing
the Db connection or ending the script. If you get a "no transaction" error,
then this isn't the problem.

After you set the variable $query, print it out.

>
> $query = "UPDATE gpinfo SET password='$newpw' WHERE gpid='$gpidno'";
print "My Query: " . $query;

> $result = pg_exec($database, $query);

What does it print out? Then try copying that and running it directly in
postgresql. If your query is failing, you can debug it that way.

Re: UPDATE - Changing Password

Hey.

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me. I was able to fix the code by
printing the query to c wat was wrong, and also, pg_cmdtuples( ) was very
useful :-).

Does anybody know how to find out what version of PHP i may be running?

Thanx Again
