Okay, blank file.
0:00
Switch back over to your index.php file.
0:02
I'm going to do a Cmd+ A here, Select All,
or
0:05
you can do the drop down Edit and Select
All.
0:08
And then I'm going to copy this and then
paste it into my films.php file.
0:12
Now I don't need this same listing here.
0:19
So actually I'm gonna get rid of this
ordered list altogether.
0:21
Okay.
0:25
And then here it's not gonna be films by
title,
0:26
it's actually gonna be the film title
itself.
0:29
Let's just say, Film Title.
0:31
All right, and then it's gonna say sample
database.
0:35
This is all fine, scroll back up to the
top.
0:38
So, I'm gonna save this file and go back
and refresh, and
0:40
I shouldn't get the 404, you should get
Sakila Sample Database and
0:44
the modification that we made, which is
film title.
0:48
It's not the actual film title, but
0:52
we're gonna replace that now by doing an
extra query here.
0:53
So instead of the 404, now you should see
Sakila Sample Database.
0:58
Same as before, but instead, the small
modification we made, which is Film Title.
1:02
We wanna populate this with the actual
film title that uses the ID from the URL.
1:07
Let's do that by modifying our query.
1:13
Go back to films.php, and here, instead of
select star from film,
1:17
okay, I want to select, star from film
where, and
1:22
then it's going to be film_id equals, and
then here we want to put the id in.
1:28
For now we'll just manually put one in
we'll just say 201.
1:36
Hit Save, and then we're gonna have
results, but
1:39
our result is really gonna it, it's gonna
be one result we need not a fetch all.
1:43
Here we're gonna use a different method
very similar.
1:48
We're just gonna get rid of the all, so it
just says fetch.
1:51
And instead of films, we're gonna move
this to just be one film.
1:55
So from here,
2:01
the next thing we need to do is modify our
code at the bottom of this page.
2:02
And instead of saying film title, we're
actually,
2:06
gonna open up our php tags and do echo and
then $film.
2:11
So singular and then title.
2:16
Close that line and close our statement.
2:22
Okay, let's save our file, and then we'll
go back up here, and
2:25
I will reopen the preview window, and
that's gonna give us our main file but
2:29
then when we click on an actual film,
you'll see it'll go use the film ID,
2:35
except we're not injecting the film ID
into our query,
2:40
we're just saying film 201 which is
cyclone family.
2:44
Let's say we'll do, a different film just
for now.
2:48
Scroll up here and say 501.
2:51
Hit Save, head back over and refresh our
preview.
2:54
Okay, that works for us.
3:00
Now, the last thing we wanna do is
actually use
3:01
the number from our get variable.
3:05
So we'll go in here, right here on line
four.
3:08
And we'll check to make sure that the
$_GET var is actually present if
3:12
it's actually set.
3:16
We'll do that by opening up a conditional
statement which is an if statement here.
3:19
And we're gonna say, if $_ capital G-E-T
for our get.
3:22
And we're checking to see if the GET var
of id is actually there.
3:28
And we're gonna see if it's not just
present, we wanna see that it's not empty.
3:34
So not empty, using the empty keyword or
empty method.
3:38
[BLANK_AUDIO]
3:42
All right, and then we're gonna open our
curly braces.
3:45
And if it's not empty, meaning the id is
actually present, we wanna set it and
3:47
do something with it.
3:51
So we'll say if, that it is not empty,
we're gonna say film ID,
3:52
so setting a variable called film ID, and
3:58
we'll set it equal to this exact string up
here, which is our GET var.
4:01
Just clean that up a little bit.
4:07
Close it out with a semicolon, and
4:10
then now we can simply concatenate the ID
directly onto the end of this.
4:12
Save our file, and
4:22
let's switch back over to our preview, see
if this works as expected.
4:23
So here's ID number one.
4:27
We hit Refresh, Academy Dinosaur.
4:29
Let's go back to our page, scroll down a
little ways here.
4:31
Here is Tadpole Park, 874.
4:36
So we'll click on this.
4:37
It says film ID is equal to 874 and our
title does show Tadpole Park.
4:39
All right.
So just as a quick review,
4:46
we now have index.php.
4:48
The index.php file is running a query to
fetch all the results from the film table.
4:51
And then we're going to create links using
our anchor tags and
4:57
a looping construct of four each.
5:01
And then we are echoing out the film title
creating a link to film.php or
5:03
films.php which we have created that file
and then, then we're doing a new query and
5:08
there to select all of the films where the
film ID is equal to the the GET var or
5:14
the film ID.
5:19
All right, up next we talk about something
very, very important, security and
5:20
SQL injection.
