I'm having a strange problem. I have a HTML page with PHP code which inserts data to a MySQL database. The data gets saved to the DB without any errors but in an incorrect order.
Here's a screenshot. The table on the right side displays the existing records. The first 2 records are shown correctly.
But when I save more records, it displays like this.
Even in the MySQL table, the records are inserted that way.
I'm not sure where exactly the problem is so I've shown the whole code for the page below. I've commented what each code block does. Please comment if you need me to clarify something.
The Location ID is an auto-generated code.
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function SelectAll(source)
{ //The code for the 'Select All' checkbox
checkboxes = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for(var i in checkboxes)
{
if(checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox')
{
checkboxes[i].checked = source.checked;
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php
//Database connection initialization
require_once("db_handler.php");
$conn = iniCon();
$db = selectDB($conn);
/* Generating the new Location ID */
$query = "SELECT LID FROM locations ORDER BY LID DESC LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($query, $conn);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$last_id = $row['LID'];
$id_letter = substr($last_id, 0, 1);
$id_num = substr($last_id, 1) + 1;
$id_num = str_pad($id_num, 3, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
//$id_num = sprintf("%03d", $id_num);
$new_id = $id_letter . $id_num;
/* Displaying the exsisting locations */
$query = "SELECT * FROM locations";
$result = mysql_query($query, $conn);
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);

Can anyone please tell me what is causing this and how to rectify it.
Thank you.
