Difficulty querying two tables in mysql with php -


i have database in mysql , contains 2 tables:

table: political_party +----------+--------------------+-------+ | party_id | party_abbreviation | party | +----------+--------------------+-------+  table: polling_party_result +----+------+-----------------+ | id | p_id | number_of_votes | +----+------+-----------------+

i writing php program outputs form, updates political_party_result table id runs 1 x.. problem i'm facing on form, id relates party_abbreviation column in above political_party table.

that 1(in political_party_result table) should bring out ap(from political_party table) 2 = adc
3 = pdp etc..

here html code:

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd xhtml 1.0 transitional//en" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/dtd/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>html inec</title> </head>  <body> <form action="inechp.php" method="post" name="form1"> id: <input name="id" type="text" /> <br /> <br /> polling unit: <input name="pid" type="text" /> <br /> <br /> number of votes: <input name="votes" type="text" /> <br /> <br /> <input type="submit" /> <br /> </form>  <form action="inechp.php" method="post" name="form2"> polling unit: <input name="unit" type="text" /> <br /> number of votes: <input name="nov" type="text" /> <br /> <input type="submit" /> </form> </body> </html>

here php code:

<?php $con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "inec_results");  mysqli_query($con, "update inec_results.polling_party_result set p_id ='$_post[pid]' , number_of_votes = '$_post[votes]' id = '$_post[id]'"); ?>

forgive me if explanations weren't satisfactory i'm bit new php.

mysqli_query($con, "update inec_results.polling_party_result set p_id ='$_post[pid]' , number_of_votes = '$_post[votes]' id = '$_post[id]'");

this bad number of reasons.

firstly not validating form data have received valid. e.g enter email address id field , pass directly database. leads onto second big issue.

you should never place post data directly sql, andrew mentions insecure , malicious user quite drop entire database sql injection.

having said not sure passing post variables (its been little while since touched php) because entire statement in double quotes. means '$_post[var]' parts being read in part of string literal. (meaning passing value $_post[var] instead of value form. need brace or fullstop vars '{$_post[var]}' or '.$_post[var].'(but again bad!).

what should mentioned used prepared statement after have validated data. can see example here how can prevent sql injection in php?

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua
