$by = $_POST[by];
$message = $_POST[message];
if ($title==NULL|$by==NULL|$message==NULL) {
echo("You left a space blank!");
}else{
$newtime = time();
$time = gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", $newtime);
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `news` (title, by, on, message) VALUES('$title','$by','$time','$message')");
}
}

Well what happens?

And also, you might wanna edit out your database username and password.

dont know if it matters but u have Submit as the value in the form and if ($_POST[submit])

try changing if ($_POST[submit]) to if ($_POST[Submit])

[BillyBoB]

im goin to edit but the Value=\"Submit\" is the text that shows up on the button

[BillyBoB]

nothing happens thats the prob i need the data to go to the database but it doesnt

[GingerRobot]

Add an or die statement:

$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `news` (title, by, on, message) VALUES('$title','$by','$time','$message')") or die(mysql_error());

So we can see if that is the problem.

[BillyBoB]

heres the error

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'by, on, message) VALUES('omga','moga','2006-07-13 09:49:23','te

[BillyBoB]

does it matter if i have MySQL version  4.0.25-standard ?

[BillyBoB]

ne 1?

[brown2005]

i dunno...

[BillyBoB]

robot can u figure this out

[GingerRobot]

Im unsure if you are allowed spaces inside this part:
(title, by, on, message)
try:
(title,by,on,message)

[brown2005]

maybe someone can tell me,

include("config.php"); does it need to be include('config.php');

[BillyBoB]

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'by,on,message) VALUES('fg','fg','20060713100640','test')' at li

still happens and i even fixed the time so there is no spaces

and brown there doesnt need the be ' there cuz i have used that b4

[BillyBoB]

the only thing i can think of would be the id because its the primary key but that should set itself right?

[GingerRobot]

Im not sure, try adding it in and see what happens:

$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `news` (id,title, by, on, message) VALUES('','$title','$by','$time','$message')");

[BillyBoB]

man this is making me mad how do u guys setup the news on the sites

error:

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'by,on,message) VALUES('','fff','fff','20060713101229','test')'

[CheesierAngel]

What happens if you leave out the part (id, title, by, on, message) ?

[code]
$query = <<<SQL
    INSERT INTO news
    VALUES ('', '$title', '$by', '$time', '$message')
SQL;
[/code]

Your query is propably giving this error because your SQL interpreter sees the 'by' - column as a standard keyword used in other query syntaxes. (Aswell the 'on' - column will be giving the same error). Would be the same if your table would look like:

[code]
$query = <<<SQL
    INSERT INTO news (INSERT, GRANT, SELECT, ...)
    VALUES ('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc', ...)
SQL;
[/code]

[BillyBoB]

thx for your help and that was it the by fixed it now so thx alot

[kenrbnsn]

Change this line:
[code]<?php
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `news` (title, by, on, message) VALUES('$title','$by','$time','$message')");
?>[/code]
to
[code]<?php
$q ="INSERT INTO `news` (`title`, `by`, `on`, `message`) VALUES('$title','$by','$time','$message')"
$query = mysql_query($q) or die("Problem with the query: $q<br>" . mysql_error());
?>[/code]
