LabVIEW and online database

[mikeporter]

Depends on the server you are using. What you want to know is what the expected home directory for webpages is. That is where you put your files.

A good way to proceed might be to talk to the folks that configured and are maintaining the server. They can give you detailed information.

Hello Mike,

I've gotten the php script to run about 90%.  I am using the "UPDATE tablename SET columnname='.$_POST["data"].' WHERE row='2' ";" instead of INSERT command that you have on your website.  The php script works when I don't use the $_POST['data'] but replace it with an actual string like, 'hello'. LabVIEW calls the phpscript and the database is updated with the 'hello' string.

But when I use the $_POST, I get syntax errors. I have varied the single quotes and double quotes in the brakets since I think that is where the error is located and that is the line specified by server.   

Sam if you have some inputs please let me know.

thanks,

Frank

Are you actually sending a variable called 'data' in your POST HTTP request?

In typical html forms, when you 'POST' a form - the names of the fields get translated into $_POST['fieldname'] in PHP - they're your POST variables.

If you're having syntax errors, you'd probably need to post your entire script.

Hello Sam,

sorry for the late reply. I got busy on another project.

Yes, I am sending data='Welcome'.
