Hey everyone.
I am
slowly learning PHP, I've decided to learn PHP -> MySQL database stuff first (because, that serves a great purpose for what I would like to do with my website).
Ok, what I have.
I have an application that is a form, that submits data to the database. <-- Works
I also have a page, of all applications, with a link to their application (http://versionxgaming.com/recruiting2/phpcode.php) <-- So far works
When you click on any of the links, for example, clicking on the link for application ID 18, you get (http://www.versionxgaming.com/forum/applookuptest.php?appid=18) a page that lists their details <-- works
Now, here is the tricky stuff.
I also have an admin page, that is similiar to the page of all the applications, except it has a link to an admin page.
http://versionxgaming.com/recruiting2/adminphpcode.php
And, again, for example, when you click the admin link for app id 18, you get - http://www.versionxgaming.com/recruiting2/appadmin.php?appid=18
This page is the same as the app look up, except at the bottom it has another form. This form is for admins to fill out whether they want to accept or deny the person's application. There are 2 fields, what they want to do with the application, and the reason for their decision.
This is where I am having problems
When they submit the form, it's supposed to EDIT that respective ID. So if I am on appadmin.php?appid=17, it's supposed to edit application 17, and insert the data into the database (2 new columns of the database). Note: I am not updating any of the information that already exists, just putting data into 2 columns that are not filled in on the initial application. The two columns are 'Status' and 'reason_decision'
The only data that is in any of these columns is pre-generated default data in Status column. Numbers.
Pending (default) = 0 <- Database automatically assigns this value to the column.
Accepted = 1
Denied = 2
At any rate, here is the code that I have for the 2 files in particular.
appadmin.php

If anyone could see what is wrong with my code, or re-write it and make it work, I would be greatly appreciative!
