Random

Thanks Doc! I just checked it, and it worked like a charm

It was because the variables and the $_POST variables need to be switched... ex. $fname = $_POST[\'f_name\']; thnx anyways

As you can tell from my recent outbreak of posting for newbie help, I am learning MySQL. I am now having trouble with a signup form and the process script. Here they are: SIGNUP FORM: [php:1:78927ec1bf]<?php print \"<BR><BR><BR>\"; print \"<h1>Test for MySQL Tables</h1>\"; print \"<BR><BR><BR>\"; print \'<form action=\"signup_process.php\" method=\"post\">\'; print \'Desired Username: <input type=\"text\" name=\"username\" maxlength=20><BR>\'; print \'Desired Password: <input type=\"password\" name=\"password\" maxlength=20><BR>\'; print \'First Name: <input type=\"text\" name=\"f_name\" maxlength=25><BR>\'; print \'Last Name: <input type=\"text\" name=\"l_name\" maxlength=25><BR>\'; print \'Email Address: <input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" maxlength=\"60\"><BR>\'; print \'Age: <input type=\"text\" name=\"age\" maxlength=\"3\"><BR>\'; print \'Gender: Male<input type=\"radio\" name=\"male\" value=\"male\"> Female<input type=\"radio\" name=\"female\" value=\"female\"><BR>\'; print \'<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Finish signup!\">\'; ?>[/php:1:78927ec1bf] and the PROCESS SCRIPT: [php:1:78927ec1bf]<?php $dbuser = \"random\"; $dbpass = \"random\"; $dbname = \"random\"; $_POST[\'username\'] = $uname; $_POST[\'password\'] = $pword; $_POST[\'f_name\'] = $fname; $_POST[\'$l_name\'] = $lname; $_POST[\'email\'] = $email; $_POST[\'age\'] = $age; $_POST[\'gender\'] = $gender; if (empty($_POST[\'username\']) || ($_POST[\'password\']) || ($_POST[\'f_name\']) || ($_POST[\'l_name\']) || ($_POST[\'email\']) || ($_POST[\'age\']) || ($_POST[\'gender\'])) { print \"Please fill in all of the required fields!\"; }else { $link = mysql_connect(\"localhost\", $dbuser, $dbpass) or die (\"Database Error: Couldn\'t Connect!\"); mysql_select_db($dbname, $link) or die (\"Couldn\'t open $db!\"); $query = \"INSERT INTO user_info (username, password, f_name, l_name, email, age, gender) values( \'$uname\', \'$pword\', \'$fname\', \'$lname\', \'$email\', \'$age\', \'$gender\' )\"; mysql_query($query, $link) or die (\"Couldn\'t input data!\"); mysql_close($link); } ?>[/php:1:78927ec1bf] After I hit the submit button and process the form, no errors come up, so I goto my PuTTY box and get onto my database, select the columns, and they just added blank lines to it, no information what-so-ever. Help please.

still didn\'t work. yeah I will wait for shiva to get on.

[php:1:10dbd8e8ef]<?php $fetch = @mysql_fetch_row( $result ); ?>[/php:1:10dbd8e8ef] so it looks like that? if so that didn\'t work.

I was just pointing out why it says connected that wasnt a problem hehe

How do I print a row from mysql? This is the script I was trying ( newbie at this ): [php:1:71284b16c1]<?php print \"<BR><BR><BR><BR>\"; $conn = mysql_connect(\"localhost\", \"random\", \"random\") or die (\"Couldn\'t Connect...\"); print \"Connected!\"; $db = \"random\"; mysql_select_db($db, $conn) or die (\"Couldn\'t connect\"); $result = mysql_query( \"SELECT * FROM user_info \"); $fetch = mysql_fetch_row( $result ); print \" $fetch \"; mysql_close( $conn ); ?> [/php:1:71284b16c1] It prints out: \"Connected! Array\"; where Connected is from the successful connect, and I guess $result is printing Array. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

ok, i was forgetting the int line. eehhe.

I am using PuTTY to access my mysql database. I want to add a table named users into it with rows named username and password. How would I write this up? I have this but there is a syntax error: mysql> CREATE TABLE users ( username VARCHAR(20), password VARCHAR(20)); thanks

Is there a way to write a PHP script that I just execute that will completely remove everything from a database? Thanks.

anyone know the rest?

yes

update: he told me to use localhost, and it worked to the point of no errors coming up, so I used a or die statement, and it went off. What could it be now? Localhost is right, and my names, etc. is all right. Thanks

can someone explain each part of the table...example: sql = CREATE TABLE test int not null AUTO_INCREMENT, dead VARCHAR(20), live CHAR(1); or whatever, like what does the int, not null, AUTO_INCREMENT, and VARCHAR/CHAR, and the numbers in the parathesis mean? Thanks

He said that the port may not be right..is that a possibility?
