Update record

[chetans9]

make sure you have added query string parameters on links to update records e.g update.php?customer_id=61&operation=edit .

keep "name" attribute of input type same as database column name.

then use
$data_to_update = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST);
$db->where('id',$customer_id);
$db->update('customers', $data_to_update);

Hello Chetans9,

Thank you for your support and quick answer.

Done. I found the problem. I changed the value of "id" from a number to a Mac address but the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT was causing the problem.

Something new that I detected is that when you click on save button to save the changes in the MySQL table, in the php the changes goes back to the original.

Ok. I got it. Thanks for pointing it out. After Updating/Inserting Redirect to same page and show a session flash message.

Like this :

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
   
    $data_to_update = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST);
    $db->where('id',$customer_id);
    $stat = $db->update('customers', $data_to_update);

    if($stat){
        $_SESSION['success'] = "Customer updated successfully!";
        header('location: customers.php'); //Redirect after successfull update
        exit();
    }
}

and whatever page you are redirecting Add something like this

if(isset($_SESSION['success'])) { echo '<div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissable"> <a href="#" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close">×</a> <strong>Success! </strong>'. $_SESSION['success'].' </div>'; unset($_SESSION['success']); }

I was a newbie when I built this. I will fix it in later commits..
