I've been creating a CMS blog using Bootstrap, PHP and MySQL and recently I figured out that the Edit Post functionality is not working. When I try to edit a post, it doesn't get updated on database, and I get the error: "Something went wrong. Try again."
Here is the file EditPost.php:
<?php
require_once("includes/DB.php");
require_once("includes/Functions.php");
require_once("includes/Sessions.php");
Confirm_Login();
$SearchQueryParameter = $_GET['id'];
if(isset($_POST["Submit"])){
$PostTitle = $_POST["PostTitle"];
$Category = $_POST["Category"];
$Image = $_FILES["Image"]["name"];
$Target = "uploads/".basename($_FILES["Image"]["name"]);
$PostText = $_POST["PostDescription"];
$Admin = "Mariam";
date_default_timezone_set("America/Los_Angeles");
$CurrentTime=time();
$DateTime=strftime("%B-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S",$CurrentTime);
if(empty($PostTitle)){
$_SESSION["ErrorMessage"]= "The title must not be empty.";
Redirect_to("Posts.php");
}elseif (strlen($PostTitle)<=5) {
$_SESSION["ErrorMessage"]= "The post title must be greater than 5 characters.";
Redirect_to("Posts.php");
}elseif (strlen($PostText)>10000) {
$_SESSION["ErrorMessage"]= "The post description is limited to 10000 characters.";
Redirect_to("Posts.php");
}else{
// Query to update the posts in DB when everything is fine
global $ConnectingDB;
if (!empty($_FILES["Image"]["name"])) {
$sql = "UPDATE posts
SET title='$PostTitle', category='$Category', image='$Image', post='$PostText'
WHERE id='$SearchQueryParameter'";
}else {
$sql = "UPDATE posts
SET title='$PostTitle', category='$Category', post='$PostText'
WHERE id='$SearchQueryParameter'";
}
$Execute=$ConnectingDB->query($sql);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["Image"]["tmp_name"],$Target);
//var_dump($Execute);
if($Execute){
$_SESSION["SuccessMessage"]="Post updated successfully!";
Redirect_to("Posts.php");
}else {
$_SESSION["ErrorMessage"]= "Something went wrong. Try again.";
Redirect_to("Posts.php");
}
}
}
?>
