I am creating a simple reporting system and I want the menues and pages to be generated from the database.
I saw this video on YouTube and managed to create a menu with the following code.
I have a database table called Reports and columns called rep_id, rep_date, rep_ledit_date, rep_by, department, position, report, and rep_to. And another table called users with columns called id, username, password, first_name, last_name, department, postion, and passphrase.
I managed to select the an added record for the reports table, however, I have the following problems. 1. The rep_to doesn't preselect the already chosen option 2. The record cannot be updated with php Notice: Undefined index: rep_id in C:\wamp\www\cme\edit-this-report.php on line 232 and no update on the database. This line is where report table is selected Please see the php code below.
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['users'])) {
$uname = $_SESSION['users'];
$fname = $_SESSION['firstname'];
$lname = $_SESSION['lastname'];
$dep = $_SESSION['depart'];
$pos = $_SESSION['position'];
$query = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = $uname");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query)) {
$id=$row['id'];
$fname=$row['first_name'];
$lname=$row['last_name'];
$dep = $row['department'];
$pos = $row['position'];
$repby = $row['first_name'] . " " . $row['last_name'];
$repdep = $row['department'];
$reppos = $row['position'];
}
}
mysqli_select_db($con, $db_name);
$edit= "SELECT * FROM reports WHERE rep_id = '{$_GET['rep_id']}'";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $edit) or die(mysqli_error($con));
$row2 = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
if(isset($_POST['update'])) {
$_GET['rep_id']=$row2['rep_id'];
$reptype = $_POST['reporttype'];
$report = $_POST['report'];
$repto = $_POST['reportedto'];
$update=(mysqli_select_db($con, $db_name));
if(!$update) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error($con));
}
else {
$sql = "UPDATE reports SET rep_type='$reptype', report='$report', rep_to='$repto',
rep_ledit_date=NOW() WHERE rep_id='{$_GET['rep_id']}'";
$retval = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
if(!$retval ) {
$errorMessage='Could not update data: ' . mysqli_error($con);
}
else {
$success="Updated data successfully\n";
header("location:edit-this-report.php");
mysqli_close($con);
}
}
}
?>
And the form code:
<form name="editor" action="edit-this-report.php" method="post" >
<p class="inline">
<span>
<label for="mem">Reported by</label>
<input type="text" name="reportedby" maxlength="20" disabled value="<?php print $fname . " " . $lname; ?>" />

$q2= "SELECT * FROM users WHERE department like '%$repdep%'";
$result3=mysqli_query($con, $q2) or die(mysqli_error($con));
while ($getuser=mysqli_fetch_array($result3)){
$repto=$getuser['first_name'] . " " . $getuser['last_name'];
?>
