I am a new guy here and don,t have much knowledge of PHP. My problem is complex but let me explain it in simple lines. I have two different codes , 1) This code takes form entries 'website','caption' and 'name' and stores it into the Table named as 'user_info' into mysql database. This page is saved as index.php 2) This code can add add new category as a root or a child of existing category with update(edit & delete) option.This page is saved as categories.php Both codes are working(except upload function),but what i want to do is to combine the both forms (Items and category) into one page so that a user can add : webite :Its any URL caption: Description of website name: name of the person Add category:choosing existing category Add new category:If not exist add new category Tell me how can i combine both codes so that my item entries display under their categories???? 1) code for items -stores in Table 'user_info' <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> body { margin-left: 10.5%; margin-right: 10%; margin-top: 1%;} </style> <style type="text/css"> .italic { font-style:italic; color: #336666; font-family: Calibri; padding:20px; } .bold { font-weight:bold; } </style> <title>submit Bookmarks</title> </head> <body background="wrapper.png"> <form action="index.php" method="post"> <font face="Calibri">Add Your Links Here: </font> <input name="website" maxlength="100" size="58" value="http://www."> <p><font face="Calibri">Description: </font> <input name="caption" maxlength="100" size="58"> </p> <p><font face="Calibri">Your Name: </font> <input name="name" maxlength="100" size="28"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> <font size="4"> </font></p> <p><font size="4"> OR </font><font color="#008080" size="2"><b><a href="soon.html"> <span style="text-decoration: none"><font color="#008080" face="Calibri">Upload</font></span></a></b></font>|<i><font size="2" face="Calibri">upload your Bookmarks from your computer. e.g., , .Csv,.txt or .mdb files.</font></i></p> <form action='upload.php' method='post'> <input type="hidden" name="sel_file" /> <font face="Calibri">Choose a file: </font> <input name="uploaded_file" type="file" /> <input type="submit" value="Upload" /> </form> </p> </form> </body></html> <?php $hostname = "localhost"; // usually is localhost, but if not sure, check with your hosting company, if you are with webune leave as localhost $db_user = "username"; // change to your database password $db_password = "Password"; // change to your database password $database = "database-name"; // provide your database name $db_table = "user_info"; // # STOP HERE #################################################################### # THIS CODE IS USED TO CONNECT TO THE MYSQL DATABASE $db = mysql_connect($hostname, $db_user, $db_password); mysql_select_db($database,$db); ?> <html> <head> <title>Add Your Bookmarks Here</title> </head> <body> <?php if (isset($_REQUEST['Submit'])) { # THIS CODE TELL MYSQL TO INSERT THE DATA FROM THE FORM INTO YOUR MYSQL TABLE $sql = "INSERT INTO $db_table(name,website,caption) values ('".mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_REQUEST['name']))."','".mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_REQUEST['website']))."','".mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_REQUEST['caption']))."')"; $query_auto = "INSERT INTO user_info (entry_date, col_date) VALUE ('DATE: Auto CURDATE()', CURDATE() )"; if($result = mysql_query($sql ,$db)) { echo 'Thank you, your information has been entered into our database<br><br>'; } else { echo "ERROR: ".mysql_error(); } } else { ?> <?php } ?> <?php if(isset($_POST['SUBMIT'])) { $fname = $_FILES['sel_file']['name']; $chk_ext = explode(".",$fname); if(strtolower($chk_ext[1]) == "csv") { $filename = $_FILES['sel_file']['tmp_name']; $handle = fopen($filename, "r"); while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) { $sql = "INSERT into user_info(name,website,caption) values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]')"; mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); } fclose($handle); echo "Successfully Imported"; } else { echo "Invalid File"; } } ?> <?php $result = mysql_query("select * from user_info ORDER BY CUR_TIMESTAMP desc"); // Database Query result ?> <?php while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { $i++; if ($i & 1) { echo " <div class='color1'> <br/> <span class='bold'>Website:</span> <span class='normalfont' ><a href='" . $row['website'] .
