I've tried and tried, but I can't get this to work. I use Joomla and I have 2 articles/pages, one for edit and one for posting the form. I have a database with all the matches for the World Cup coming up and I want my users to bet on the matches.

I have 2 tables - one with all matches like this (named vm_kampe):

|id |hhold   |uhold   |res  |
|1  |Rusland |Saudi   |NULL |
|2  |Egypten |Uruguay |NULL |
... and so on

and the other table is my coupon where my bets are stored(named vm_207 where 207 is my user-id, so every user gets its own table):

|id |resu |
|1  |2-1  |
|2  |1-3  |
... and so on.

So the id in vm_207 should connect to the id of the match in vm_kampe.

So I want a page, where I can update my bets, so I have this:

foreach($results as $row){     
echo '<div class="vm_kupon_row">     
<div class="vm_id"><input type="hidden" name="kampid[]" value="'.$row->id.'"></div>     
<div class="vm_kampe">'.$row->hhold.' - '.$row->uhold.'</div>     
<div class="vm_result"><input class="vm_resultat" type="text" name="resultat[]" placeholder="X-X" value="'.$row->resu.'"></div>

</div>';

};

echo '<input type="submit" class="godkend-vm-kupon" name="submit" value="Godkend">';

That calls out all matches with an input field where the value is selected from my table vm_207 and it works. Now, if I change something I want to update, the form action calls this page:

$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$kampid = $jinput->get('$kampid');
$resultat = $jinput->get('$resultat', 'string');

$fields = array(
$db->quoteName('resu') . ' = ' . $db->quote($resultat)
);

$conditions = array(
$db->quoteName('id') . '=' . $kampid
);

$query->update($db->quoteName('vm_207'))->set($fields)->where($conditions);

But it won't update anything.

Please help me make this work. If you need any more details just say so :)

Thanks!

    I would just like to say that generating a new table for each user seems like poor architecture. Why wouldn't you just create a single table and dedicate a column for the users' ids? This way you can write simple join queries. If there is a compelling reason to create a bunch of identically structured tables, I'd like to hear it. Commented Jun 11, 2018 at 11:42

    Hi @mickmackusa :) You're right - it was bad architecture. I ended up with a single table as you suggested :) I just forgot about this post again afterwards. But I now have one table containing all users bets :) Commented Jun 13, 2018 at 10:55

It seems to me that you are missing the following lines (which effectively execute the update operation):

$db->setQuery($query);
$result = $db->execute();

Can you check?
