Thanks. For this to be usable you need to add a value to each option.
<option value="abia">ABIA</option>

This is probably an old post, but as an option, value attribute is no longer necessary for options in select tag, it automatically takes the value specific between the opening and closing of the option tag... in summary:

Before: <select> <option value="text">text</option> </select>
Now: <select> <option>text</option> </select>

Google "php-mysql crud system", read every page.

It boggles me that you are able to have a webserver and can navigate your way to the cpanel but have no idea about mysql basics like the crud system.

LOL. that sounds so cruel and like a punishment of some sort...

gozmos:
ok...I mean getting info from database in my wordpress site by clicking a submit button

It sounds like you're attempting to create your own php code and make it work within wordpress...

here are a few suggestions that can help:

1. There are some plugins that allow you enter your php code directly into a wordpress page
2. You can create your own plugin (which is a more preferred option, and probably easier)
3. You can create the php codes (pages or application) separately, then have a link on your wordpress site to the application then a redirect back from the application/page/ or code to wordpress

If you need more explanation of help with any of these suggestions, do let me know...

And if i come up with other solutions, i'll update this post.

Happy Holidays!

Hi Fellow Nairalanders, am kinda new to coding and am trying to set up a simple donation page with GTPAY.

I've been able to setup the form, the hash and post to the gateway successful as well as redirect to a page i desire but i need help with the successful page configuration, i have no idea on how to set retrieve the transaction status. Though am also able to save all the parameters to a database on the way to GTPAY for payment so i have informations such tran ID hash cust ID, amount and others stored in a database.

If i need to provide more information please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

hi. You should have been given contact for GTB technician. I'm sure they can help you.

But, if you have a sample code or give the response string sample from a request, maybe someone here can help you.

Try:

$query="INSERT INTO user (userid, username, password, name) VALUES ('', '".$username."', '".$password."', '".$firstname."'";

Pay attention, the double quotes must not be outside the parenthesis, that space is for the semicolon.

Actually single quote will work, if quote was the problem you should get an error, or a blank page if error reporting was turned off.

Actually, the form you refused to type might be useful.

Here are my suggestions if you haven't solved this issue yet:

Comment out all your processes, do:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);

this is to check that the form input is actually been passed across.

If all form input is displayed, then go ahead to check your database column names and ensure they all match.

If the form input is not displaying, then we know what the problem is...

check that the method and action are set right. Also check that the name of each field matches the respective name in your process page.

And it is now working..... Thanks, i really appreciate

You're welcome. Try to use either mysqli or PDO, mysql is deprecated.

I have a short tutorial on PDO:

Jregz:
side talk -- mysql extension is deprecated,use mysqli instead

Or PDO...

Webmasters › Re: Post your PHP Problems Here by xyluz: 8:27am On Feb 27, 2015*

kentc3:
array (size=4)
'sn' => string '11' (length=2)
'fname' => string 'll' (length=2)
'lname' => string 'll' (length=2)
'image' => string 'C:wampwwwimage.sample/images1/20141216_183233.jpg' (length=49)

Try uploading the file without changing the name.

Try these debugging tips:

Did you check inside the images folder?
Is the image there?
If the image is there what name does it have?
Manually put an image inside the image folder (copy and paste), then try using your code to display the image...

Does it display the manually uploaded image?

Hope this was helpful?

Updated: check the image

Webmasters › Re: Post your PHP Problems Here by xyluz: 3:31pm On Feb 26, 2015

kentc3:
<?php
mysql_connect("Localhost","Gospel","gospel" or die("Could not connect";
mysql_select_db("picture" or die("could not select db";

$select=mysql_query("SELECT * from `pix` WHERE sn= 23 " or die("could not find";
if(mysql_num_rows($select)==true)
{
$me=mysql_fetch_array($select);
?>
<img src="<?php echo $me['image']; ?>" alt="" height="200" width="120">
<?php
}
?>

Try This:

<?php
mysql_connect( "localhost","Gospel","gospel" ) or die( "Could not connect" );
mysql_select_db("picture" wink

or die("could not select db" wink

;

$select=mysql_query( "SELECT * from `pix` WHERE sn= 23" ) or die( "could not find" );

if($select)
{
$me=mysql_fetch_array($select);

echo "<img src='$me[image]' height='200' width='120'>";

}
?>

If it doesn't work, you can debug by doing var_dump($me), if the image path is being displayed then the problem is your image tag.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

FURTHER OBSERVATIONS

kentc3:
$filename=basename($_FILES['photo']['name']);

$ext= substr($filename, strrpos($filename,'.')+1);

if(($ext == "jpg" || $ext == "gif" || $ext == "JPG" || $ext == "jpeg" || $ext == "JPEG" || $ext == "PNG" || $ext == "png" || $ext == "GIF"wink &&($_FILES['photo']['size']<100000000))
{

Try this:

$ext = $_FILES["photo"]["type"].

That way you can say :

if(($ext == "image/jpg"....)){
...
}

This checks if your file is an image and that it has the right extension.

Try not to use $_POST directly, or any other global variable directly, its better you use some kind of filter like

filter_input(INPUT_POST, $fieldname) - read more on that here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.filter-input.php

In my opinion, your database connection should be the first thing you do, if the database is not connected, there's no use doing anything else.

I hope this was helpful.
