Hi.
Does anyone know how to use UPDATE with PHP for changing a password?
I've tried the following code:
$query = "UPDATE patperinfo SET trim(password)='$newpw' WHERE
trim(gpid)='$gpidno'";
$result = pg_exec($database, $query);
where new $newpw & $gpidno are the values entered into a form then
passed to the script.
I get the following error:
Warning: PostgreSQL query failed: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near
"(" at character 27 in /home/webpages/yamkedoo/Tests/chpw1.php on line 48
where the error is on the line: $result = pg_exec($database, $query);
$query = "UPDATE tablename SET password = '$newpw' WHERE ...
I don't know why you'd trim a fieldname while setting it.
