hmm… After reviewing all comments I have a hard time figuring out what to do and change. I have the same problem as many with the procedure of updating the database with new positions… Is it possible to update the tutorial and / or the source files so this issue wound be questioned again?

Really great function btw

@hrabizadeh
Just wanted to help you with your problem. A previous visitor/user was kind enough to post the answer to the problem that you have experienced. It was posted by Frank on November 4, 2009 at 3:02 PM. I am pasting the code below, but the actual credit goes to Frank. I am simply citing it here for your easy reference:

///////Change the code in updatepanels.php page:

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
function stripslashes_deep($value) {
$value = is_array($value) ? array_map(’stripslashes_deep’, $value) :
stripslashes($value);
return $value; }
$_POST = array_map(’stripslashes_deep’, $_POST);
$_GET = array_map(’stripslashes_deep’, $_GET);
$_COOKIE = array_map(’stripslashes_deep’, $_COOKIE);
$_REQUEST = array_map(’stripslashes_deep’, $_REQUEST);
}
$data=json_decode($_POST['data']);

Hope that helps you. Let us know.
Regards.

Feel free to fix the spacing/newlines up in my previous comment, didn’t seem to come through nicely.

You should really be escaping those values before entering them into an SQL query or you're risking an SQL injection attack.

$item->order = mysql_real_escape_string($item->order);
$item->collapsed = mysql_real_escape_string($item->collapsed);

But seeing as they're numbers, it's better to cast them to integers:

$item->order = (int)$item->order;
$item->collapsed = (int)$item->collapsed;

$col_id and $widget_id should be OK, but your preg_replace is still letting spaces through for some reason? Your database fields are integer fields. Probably best to cast them to integers as well:

$col_id = (int)$item->column; 
$widget_id = (int)$item->id;

Final code should look something like:

foreach($data->items as $item)  
{
	$item->column = (int)$item->column;
	$item->id = (int)$item->id;
	$item->order = (int)$item->order;
	$item->collapsed = (int)$item->collapsed;
	
	$sql="UPDATE widgets SET column_id='".$item->column."', sort_no='".$item->order."', collapsed='".$item->collapsed."' WHERE id='".$item->id."'";
	mysql_query($sql) or die('Error updating widget DB');
}

Cheers. =)

I have the solution check this.

Your magic_quotes_gpc = on so you have to change code.
The code you have to change in updatepanels.php :

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
function stripslashes_deep($value) {
$value = is_array($value) ? array_map(‘stripslashes_deep’, $value) :
stripslashes($value);
return $value; }
$_POST = array_map(‘stripslashes_deep’, $_POST);
$_GET = array_map(‘stripslashes_deep’, $_GET);
$_COOKIE = array_map(‘stripslashes_deep’, $_COOKIE);
$_REQUEST = array_map(‘stripslashes_deep’, $_REQUEST);
}
$data=json_decode($_POST['data']);

Hi ، I am a asp.net developer but when found your beautiful code I decided to Install PHP and test this code .
after installing the PHP and download your code and run the SQL code every thing work very good but when I changed the box position in the page and Refresh the page , page didn’t update.
I think you must check the updatePanels.php page !!

best regard
