Welcome to tne boards.
It looks like you have the register globals option turned off which means variables are not automatically created for your form data.
So instead of using '$first' for example, you would need to use $_POST['first']
Where $_POST is a super vriable holding all of your form data that was submitted via the post method.
$sql = "UPDATE employees SET first='${_POST[first']}',last='${_POST['last']}',address='${_POST['address']}',position='${_POST['position']}' WHERE id='$id'";
and
$sql = "INSERT INTO employees (first,last,address,position) VALUES ('${_POST['first']}','${_POST['last']}','${_POST['address']}','${_POST['position']}')";
You should also use:
if ($_POST['submit'])
and
if ($_POST['id'])
One final thing, I don`t think your id check. ie: if ($id) will work because its checking against nothing. You need to query the database before the if($id) statement and fetch all the id`s, then do the check:
$query = "SELECT id FROM employees";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);if ($row[0] == $_POST['id])
blah blah
Hope that makes sense. And welcome to the forum. :)
