gevans Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 change insert.php to this <?php include("dbinfo.inc.php"); $link = mysql_connect('localhost', $username, $password); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } $db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $link); if (!$db_selected) { die("Can't use $database : " . mysql_error()); } $bedrooms=$_POST['bedrooms']; $bathrooms=$_POST['bathrooms']; $area=$_POST['area']; $postcode=$_POST['postcode']; $ref=$_POST['refs']; $description=$_POST['description']; $rentpw=$_POST['rentpw']; $rentpm=$_POST['rentpm']; $deposit=$_POST['deposit']; $propertynear=$_POST['propertynear']; $availability=$_POST['availability']; $type=$_POST['type']; $address=$_POST['address']; $image=$_POST['image']; $query = "INSERT INTO properties VALUES ('','$bedrooms','$bathrooms','$area','$postcode','$ref','$description','$rentpw','$rentpm','$deposit','$propertynear','$availability,'$type','$address','$image')"; $result = mysql_query($query); if (!$result) { die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error()); } else { echo("Success."); } ?> and see what happens, if you get an error post it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gevans Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Did you do what I said or what Revraz said?? If you did as Revraz said I'm guessing you didn't add the error reporting as you mentioned. Also, just as a note you're echoing 2success2 out at the end of the page, as long as there's not a fatal error that will always print not matter what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitch987 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 sorry i think i just read the last post.. like i said - long day INSERT INTO properties VALUES ('','','','','','','','','','','','','','','') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 So now you know your form isn't posting. Troubleshoot why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitch987 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 i honestly dont have the php knowledge to find the problem.. i've looked gone over and over it in dreamweaver trying to see something out of place buti got nothin..

revraz Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Has nothing to do with PHP, the form is HTML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitch987 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 well yeah obviously but i cant see anything wrong with the HTML and dreamweaver doesnt seem to have any objections to it.. as for what happens after submission i havent a clue about that.. aside from the previous typo's which were ammended i dont see anything wrong <form action="insert.php" method="post"> bedrooms: <input type="text" name="bedrooms"><br> bathrooms: <input type="text" name="bathrooms"><br> area: <input type="text" name="area"><br> postcode: <input type="text" name="postcode"><br> ref: <input type="text" name="ref"><br> description:<input type="text" name="description"><br> rent pw: <input type="text" name="rentpw"><br> rentpm: <input type="text" name="rentpm"><br> deposit: <input type="text" name="deposit"><br> availability: <input type="text" name="availability"><br> type: <input type="text" name="type"><br> address: <input type="text" name="address"><br> image: <input type="text" name="image"><br> <input type="Submit"> </form> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 In the insert.php page do a print_r($_POST); and report back what it prints. See if the data is even coming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitch987 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 had to echo($_POST) as print_r has been disable for some security reason.. does this make a difference? It just says "Array" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 had to echo($_POST) as print_r has been disable for some security reason.. does this make a difference? It just says "Array" Yea, if print_r is disabled do this: foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) echo "key :: $key => value :: $val <br />"; And see what that prints.
