axx5 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 $query = "INSERT INTO Test VALUES (5," . $INFO1 . "," $INFO2 . "," . $INFO3 . "," . $INFO4 . "," . $INFO5) Any idea why i get this error when adding this query? (the error comes after the connection has been made so the file does connect to the database, there must be though a problem with how its formatted?

Mark Baker Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 If any of the $INFO values you're inserting into the table are strings, then they need to be quoted Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164621-insert-query-problem/#findComment-868384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevans Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 What's the error? and do you select a database? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-select-db.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164621-insert-query-problem/#findComment-868386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
axx5 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 How come it works with this though? mysql_query("INSERT INTO `Test`.`user` (`id`, `name`, `password`, `ip`, `date`, `registered`) VALUES (NULL, 'test', 'test', 'test', 'test', 'test 'test', 'test')", $c); But if i adjust this even a little bit it doesn't work. why does this above example work yet this doesn't? mysql_query("INSERT INTO" . $webdbname . "`user` (`id`, `name`, `password`, `ip`, `date`, `registered`) VALUES (NULL," . $sname . "," . $spassword . "," . $sip . "," . $date)", $c);[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164621-insert-query-problem/#findComment-868477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gevans Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 You're not putting quotes around the value strings; <?php $mysql = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "") $query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO Test VALUES (5, '$INFO1', '$INFO2', '$INFO3', '$INFO4', '$INFO5')"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164621-insert-query-problem/#findComment-868485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
axx5 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Man this is driving me crazy. Can someone just post a full example with all the code, connect, select, add?

axx5 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Again, what error are you getting, and try my example I am not getting a error any more, it just doesn't send the data to the database when $strings are inserted. Which is why i asked if you could supply a full demonstration doing it.

Zane Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 you are missing a semicolon here $mysql = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "") Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164621-insert-query-problem/#findComment-868541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattal999 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 It does that because you don't excape the double quotes. Replace 'date("Y:m:d")' With '".date("Y:m:d")."'
