Ok, I'm new to PHP/MYSQL, but have been messing around with it. So with one of my test files, I wanted to see if it would work in Soholaunch 4.6 as a custom code file. It's a simple file that returns all the entries in the table, and each is hyperlinked. You click on it, and you are able to edit it. Here, it is: http://www.pcandnetworking.com/indb3.php

So, I dropped it into Soho 4.6 as a custom code in one of my pages and Soho doesn't like it: Here it is. (http://demo.revolutionsolutions.net/index.php?customernumber=136337109716289&pr=Test)



Here is the code from the PHP file as well:

<html>

<body>

<?php



$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "dbuser", "password");

mysql_select_db("dbname",$db);

if ($id) {

if ($submit) {

$sql = "UPDATE employees SET first='$first',last='$last',address='$address',pos ition='$position' WHERE id=$id";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

echo "Thank you! Information updated.\n";

} else {

// query the DB

$sql = "SELECT * FROM employees WHERE id=$id";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);

?>



<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>">

<input type=hidden name="id" value="<?php echo $myrow["id"] ?>">

First name:<input type="Text" name="first" value="<?php echo $myrow["first"] ?>"><br>

Last name:<input type="Text" name="last" value="<?php echo $myrow["last"] ?>"><br>

Address:<input type="Text" name="address" value="<?php echo $myrow["address"] ?>"><br>

Position:<input type="Text" name="position" value="<?php echo $myrow["position"] ?>"><br>

<input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Enter information">

</form>

<?php

}

} else {



// display list of employees

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employees",$db);

while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

printf("<a href=\"%s?id=%s\">%s %s</a><br>\n", $PHP_SELF, $myrow["id"], $myrow["first"], $myrow["last"]);

}

}



?>



</body>



</html>


So, is there a way to fix this?? Thanks

Ok, I figured it out. I changed the $PHP_SELF in the PRINTF statement to the actual file, and it worked. At that point $PHP_SELF was refering to something other than this file. I also learned about the ECHO statement which works nicer for me in this situation.
