I'd recommend installing XAMPP on your system.

Hi guys. So this is what I'm trying to do. I have a form on my website, the user puts in a value and php inserts that value into the database in one field called "name". But I am also trying to use that same value and insert it another field at the same time but just adding "name".".txt". but in a field called "file" (both in the same table of course) Thank you guys so much in advance! I am new and I really appreciate any help! Thank you! Here is my field html: <form action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" method="post" name="form1" id="form1"> <input type="text" name="name" value="" size="32" /> <input type="submit" value="Do it." /> <input type="hidden" name="numofuser" value="50" /> <input type="hidden" name="file" value="<?php echo "chatroom-".$name.".txt" ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1" /> </form> And I this the PHP portion: <?php session_start(); require_once("dbcon.php"); if (checkVar($_SESSION['userid'])): $getRooms = "SELECT * FROM chat_rooms"; $roomResults = mysql_query($getRooms); ?> <?php require_once('Connections/dbcon.php'); ?> <?php if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) { function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { if (PHP_VERSION < 6) { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; } $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "long": case "int": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "double": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "date": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "defined": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue; break; } return $theValue; } } $editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { $editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']); } if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) { $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO chat_rooms (name, numofuser, `file`) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)", GetSQLValueString($_POST['name'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['numofuser'], "int"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['file'], "text")); mysql_select_db($database_dbcon, $dbcon); $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $dbcon) or die(mysql_error()); $insertGoTo = "chatrooms.php"; if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?"; $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; } header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo)); } mysql_select_db($database_dbcon, $dbcon); $query_talkabout = "SELECT * FROM chat_rooms"; $talkabout = mysql_query($query_talkabout, $dbcon) or die(mysql_error()); $row_talkabout = mysql_fetch_assoc($talkabout); $totalRows_talkabout = mysql_num_rows($talkabout); ?>
