I'm new to php (and coding in general), as my code should make apparent. However I'm pretty sure at least the code outside of my <?php tag should be working, but it's not. Also, the php isn't doing anything either; no die messages display, no changes to the database are made. Can someone tell me where I've messed up? [code]<head> <title>Movie Added</title> </head> <body> <p> test </p> <?php //define variables $mdesc = $_POST['mdescription']; $mname = $_POST['mname']; $genre = $_POST['genre']; $rating = $_POST['rating']; $dlast = $_POST['dlastname']; $dfirst = $_POST['dfirstname']; $alast = $_POST['alastname']; $afirst = $_POST['afirstname']; //connect to server $con = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } //open database mysql_select_db("dbname", $con) or die("no db found"); //the movie script //add movie info to table $query="INSERT INTO movie (name, genre, description) VALUES ("$mname", "$genre", "$mdesc")" or die('Error!' . mysql_error()); mysql_query($query); //the director script //add director info to table $query1="INSERT INTO director (lastname, firstname) VALUES ("$dlast", "$dfirst")" or die("Error!"); mysql_query($query1); //the actor script //add actor info to table $check= if (mysql_query("SELECT actor.firstname, actor.lastname FROM actor WHERE actor.lastname="$alast" AND actor.firstname="$afirst""); else mysql_query("INSERT INTO actor (lastname, firstname) VALUES ("$alast", "$afirst")"); /* possibly improved on? $query="INSERT INTO actor (lastname, firstname) VALUES (\"$_POST[alastname]\",\"$_POST[afirstname]\")" */ mysql_query($check); //the rating script //define movieid $result = mysql_query("SELECT movies.movieid FROM movies WHERE movies.name = "$mname"") or die('Error!' . mysql_error()); //add rating info to table $query2= mysql_query("INSERT INTO rating (rating, movieid) VALUES ("$rating", "$result")") or die('Error!' . mysql_error()); mysql_query($result); mysql_query($query2); //tie director to the movie //find movieid $mid = mysql_query("SELECT movies.movieid FROM movies WHERE movies.name = "$mname"") or die('Error!' . mysql_error()); //find dirid $did = mysql_query("SELECT director.dirid FROM director WHERE director.lastname = "$dlast" AND WHERE director.firstname = "$dfirst")" or die('Error!' . mysql_error()); //combine results $add = mysql_query("INSERT INTO directormovie (directorid, movieid) VALUES ("$did", "$mid")") or die('Error!' . mysql_error()); mysql_query($mid); mysql_query($did); mysql_query($add); //modify actor table //find actor id $aid = mysql_query("SELECT actor.actorid FROM actor WHERE actor.lastname = "$alast" AND WHERE actor.firstname = "$afirst"") or die('Error!' . mysql_error()); //tie actor and movie together $add1 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO actormovie (actorid, movieid) VALUES ("$aid", "$mid")") or die('Error!' . mysql_error()); mysql_query($aid); mysql_query($add1); mysql_close($con); ?> <p> test 2. </p> </body> </html> [/code]
