How to check in mysql if records have already been updated?

Hi guys,

I need your help. I am checking on a database as I want to see if the records have already been existed in the database.

<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'mydbuser');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mydbpass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbtable');
       
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {
  die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
  
    $username = clean($_GET['user']);
    $password = clean($_GET['pass']);
    $test = clean($_GET['test']);
    $public = clean($_GET['public']);
   
   
   if (isset($_GET['user']) && (isset($_GET['pass']))) {
    if($username == '' || $password == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'username or password are missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }
} elseif (isset($_GET['user']) || (isset($_GET['test'])) || (isset($_GET['public']))) {
    if($username == '' || $test == '' || $public == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'user or others are missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }
  }

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
  $qry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username' AND passwd='$password'";
  $result=mysql_query($qry) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());


if ($username && $password) {
  if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
     $qrytable1="SELECT images, id, test, links, Public FROM user_channel_list WHERE username='$username'";
    $result1=mysql_query($qrytable1) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {
        echo "<p id='test'>";
        echo $row['test'] . "</p>";
        echo '<p id="images"> <a href="images.php?test=test&id='.$row['id'].'">Images</a></td> | <a href="http://' .  $row["links"] . '">Link</a> </td> | <a href="delete.php?test=test&id='.$row['id'].'">Delete</a> </td> | <span id="test">'.$row['Public'].'</td>';
     }
   } else {
    echo "user not found";
  }
} elseif($username && $test && $public) {
    $qry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username'";
    $result1=mysql_query($qry) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());
    
    if(mysql_num_rows($result1) > 0) {     
      $qrytable1="SELECT Public FROM user_channel_list WHERE username='$username' && test='$test'";
      $result2=mysql_query($qrytable1) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());
      
      if(mysql_num_rows($result2) > 0) {
        $row = mysql_fetch_row($result2);
        mysql_query("UPDATE user_list SET Public=('$_GET[public]') WHERE username='$username' AND test='$test'");
        echo "update!";
      } else {
        echo "already updated!";
      }
    } else {
      echo "user not found";
    }
  }
} 
?>

Code (markup):

When I run debug on my php, if i input the data in a url bar while the records are the same as the data that I enter in the url, i should get the print out on my php "already updated", but I keep getting "update!".

Do you know how i can check the records from the url to go through on mysql database to see if the records have already been updated??


Any advice would be much appreicated.

Thanks,
Mark

 

 $qrytable1="SELECT Public FROM user_channel_list WHERE username='$username' && test='$test'";
  mysql_query("UPDATE user_list SET Public=('$_GET[public]') WHERE username='$username' AND test='$test'");

PHP:

The queries are not executed on same table.

 

mysql_affected_rows will solve the issue
