Hey David,
Well basically I think it's a problem with the declaration of variables
and/or the way they are being processed by the form.
Here is the individual addNews function:
function addNews() {
global $db;
/* declare variables here? */
/* insert the new news entry */
$query = "INSERT INTO news" .
"VALUES('',$id,'{$_POST['postdate']}'," .
"'{$_POST['title']}',".
"'{$_POST['newstext']}')";
/* if statement to process the input? */
mysql_query($query);
echo "New News Entry Added!<BR>\n";
echo "<a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}" .
"?action='addNews'>Back to Blog</a><BR>";
/* adds a form where the administrator to add news */
echo "<HR width='400'><BR>";
echo "<FORM action=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?action='addNews'
method=POST>";
echo "<TABLE width='485'><TR><TD class='BlogTitlebar'>Make a new
entry: </TD></TR></TABLE>";
echo "<TABLE border='0' width='485' class='commentBG'>";
echo "<TR><TD>Title: </TD></TR><BR>";
echo "<TR><TD><input type='text' " . "width='30'
name='title'></TD></TR><BR>";
echo "<TR><TD>News: </TD></TR><BR>";
echo "<TR><TD><TEXTAREA cols='40' rows='5' " .
"name='newstext'></TEXTAREA></TD></TR><BR><BR>";
echo "<TR><TD><input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'";
"<input type='hidden' name='action' value='addNews'>";
echo "</FORM></TD></TR>";
echo "</TABLE>";
echo "<BR>";
echo "<HR width='400'>";
}
and here is the error it produces so far (obviously I know that as it is it
wont work but my problem is that I don't know exactly what to do to it go
get it to work...:P)
