Update record and Back button update

Thread began 7/29/2010 1:12 pm by wbrooks199805 | Last modified 7/21/2011 11:50 am by wbrooks199805 | 3730 views | 20 replies |

Update record and Back button update

I am trying to achieve a back button to update the questionaire_llc.php page (uploaded files) and that updates the confirm page and database. I think I have it turned around some where.
It is updating the database twice.

Can you please let me know how I can achieve this? THANK YOU!

change the name of the submit button on the first page so that it is no longer named button.

you have the update triggered on button: Button pressed.

Both forms have a button named button.

only the second form should have a button named button.

My Other problem

Okay I will try that. Also, How do you keep the fields filled with the session value on pressing a back button again? I have tried to duplicate it and I am doing something wrong. Can you take a look? Oh I don't have a back button at on these pages but tried to achieve that.

add this code at line 1 of the second page:

php:
<?php

if(!session_id()) session_start();
foreach(
$_POST as $key => $val) {
    
$_SESSION[$key] = $val;
}
?>




this will create a session variable for each form element using the same name.

So $_POST['name'] will create $_SESSION['name']


the on the first page, add this at line 1:

php:
<?php if(!session_id()) session_start();



then go to the binding panel and click the plus button. Select Session value and create a session binding for each form element using the same name as the form elements.

in design vie, select each form element and click the lightning bolt next to initial value, select the corresponding session binding.

For the select list, click the dynamic button, then click the lightning bolt next to Select Value Equal to and select the session.

somewhat worked..still need help

The session variable worked. THANK YOU! Will keep this in my notes so I won't forget again. :)

The button thing didn't work. After I changed the button, it wouldn't post to the database at all.

I changed it back as it was posting to the database only once except when I want the user to modify the info. When the user goes back to the form page (first page), it updates the database with the user info twice adding a new ID. I tried using a hidden field
<input name="hiddenField" type="hidden" id="hiddenField" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['CompanyID']; ?>" />

but it wouldn't work. What am I missing for the update? Thanks in advance!

where did you change the button name?


you neewd to change it on the questionair_llc.php page:
<td><input name="button" type="submit" class="formfield" id="button" value="Continue" /></td>

change the name of the button to anything except "button"

ahh,


the forms action on the second page is set to post to another page:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="yourorder.php">


change that to post to itself:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="confirm_questionaire_llc.php">



you can set the insert record behavior to redirect to the yourorder.php
