Hiring Help for php/mysql problem

Post by redallas »

I feel like I'm close but I have no time left...
I destroyed a Linux Mint standalone server that had been working flawlessly for over 12 years. With updates to Mint, php, html and mysql, I can access the database and populate our "Products Database Form". With the "previous", "next", and "last" active buttons, I can view the info on over 10k items. The problem is that I cannot edit/save or add new/save. Visually, I can fill in new information in the form but when I click "Submit" to save the changes to the database, I always get an error message (differing depending on what new fix I tried to implement.)
Forum members and online instructions have been a great help but nothing seems to solve this problem. Most suggest code changes that make this process look simple and routine but none of them work for me. The problem has to be in the php commands to the mysql database. I think there are eight .php files corresponding to "button/links" on the form that try to save changes to the database. I'm guessing that they all have the same problem. I am an inexperienced 70 year old, trying to fix this for several months now.
How can I find/hire an individual to fix the coding on my unique server? Either remotely or in person at our shop north of Dallas, TX.
