Calling A Function Using A Form

[jeff_lawik]

Hello,

I don't know how to call a function using a form.

Example:

function update ();
{
query update msyql database w/ variables of the form.
}

form

• the reason i don't use a standard query is because i don't want the query to execute until i am ready to use it.

Thanks For The Help!

What exactly are you trying to do? Submit data through a form and then use the function to handle that data?

If that is the case, once you submit the data pass it to the function like this:

function testfunction($id, $name, $city, $db_connection)
{
$query = "update MYTABLE set name=\"" . $name . "\", city=\"" . $city . "\" where id=" . $id . "";

if(!(mysql_query($query, $db_connection)))
{
/ error /
}
}

You pass the $id, $name, $city, $db_connection variables in with the call to the function. ($db_connection would be your link to the databse.)

Is this at all what you are trying to do?
