gave up on this for awhile but thought to try the prepared statements again. I'm trying to select records from database to remember info, click on and go to the target and update the date last used, visit count, time visited and if the info hasn't been saved, save it. Below is my latest feeble attempt. I'm hoping for advice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<body><center>
<?php
echo '
<div class="date">', date('m/d/y'), '</div>';
$con = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', 'cookie', 'homedb');
if ($con->connect_error)
{ echo 'Cannot Connect to mySQL: ', $con->connect_error(); }
else
{
echo '
<label for="targetEmail">E-Mail Account:</label>
<select name="target">
<option value="">-- select --</option>';
$targets = $con->query('SELECT target FROM emailtbl');
while ($row = $targets->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)) echo '
<option>', $row['target'], '</option>';
echo '
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">';
}
?>
</form>
</body></html>
<?php
$con = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', 'cookie', 'homedb');
if ($con->connect_error)
{ echo 'Cannot Connect to mySQL: ', $con->connect_error(); }
else
{
if (isset($_POST['target']))
{
$stmt = $con->prepare('
SELECT target, purpose, username, password, emailused, lastused, visit-count, time-visited, saved
FROM emailtbl
WHERE target = ? ');
$stmt->bindValue(1, $_POST['target']);
$stmt->execute();
if ($row = $stmt->fetch())
{
echo '
<table class="emailResults">
<caption>

do

foreach ($row as $value) echo '

}
while ($row = $stmt->fetch());
echo '

}
else echo '<div class="error">No Results Found</div>';
}
else echo '<div class="error">No valid "target" for Query</div>';
}
$stmt = $con->prepare('
UPDATE emailtbl
SET lastused = NOW(), visit-count = visit-count + 1,
time-visited = time-visited + 1
WHERE target = ? ');
$stmt->bindParam(s, $_POST['target']);
$stmt->execute();
echo $stmt->error ? '

below is the result
