Purpose

The PHP script provides a mechanism for administrators to update the corrected transliteration, alternative transliteration, and lemma fix status for entries in a "LEMMA-LIST" table.

Functionality

  • The script receives data from a POST request with the following parameters:

    • F: Indicates the action to be performed (Corrected Transliteration, Alternative Transliteration, Lemma Fix Not Needed)
    • I: Lemma ID
    • V: New value for the selected action
  • Based on the F parameter, the script performs the following actions:

    • Updates the corrected transliteration for the specified lemma ID.
    • Updates the alternative transliteration for the specified lemma ID.
    • Updates the lemma fix status for the specified lemma ID.
  • The script returns a success message along with the user's name, which is used to display a confirmation message.

Notes

  • The script assumes that the user is an administrator based on a session variable.
  • The script uses a db_query() function to interact with the database.
  • The script uses db_quote() to prevent SQL injection attacks.
  • The script uses str_ireplace() to replace the special character '^' with a space in the user's name.

Potential Improvements

  • Add error handling to handle cases where the data cannot be updated.
  • Provide a more detailed confirmation message.
  • Use prepared statements to improve security.
