"SET emp_salary = $emp_salary ". "WHERE emp_id = $emp_id" ; mysql_select_db('test_db'); $retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn ); if(! $retval ) { die('Could not update data: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "Updated data successfully\n"; mysql_close($conn); }else { ?> <form method = "post" action = "<?php $_PHP_SELF ?>"> <table width = "400" border =" 0" cellspacing = "1" cellpadding = "2"> <tr> <td width = "100">Employee ID</td> <td><input name = "emp_id" type = "text" id = "emp_id"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width = "100">Employee Salary</td> <td><input name = "emp_salary" type = "text" id = "emp_salary"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width = "100"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width = "100"> </td> <td> <input name = "update" type = "submit" id = "update" value = "Update"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> <?php } ?> </body> </html>
