phprocker Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hey all. I'm trying to create my own "Contact US" form in a module on the main page of a Joomla site. The problem is that I can't seem to get the data inserted into the database. I have the form action "POST" to a page called dbc.php and then it gets redirected back to the main page. Here is the basics of the dbc.php page. <?php if (isset($_POST['Submit'])){ if(!$dbc = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password')) { die ('<p>Could not connect to the database because: <b>' . mysql_error() . '</b></p>'); } @mysql_select_db('database'); // insert $sqlquery = "INSERT INTO contact (id, time_date, first, last, phone, email) VALUES (0, NOW(), '$_POST[first]', '$_POST[last]', '$_POST[phone]', '$_POST[email]')"; @mysql_query($sqlquery); mysql_close(); } header(Location: index.php); exit(); ?> Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

phprocker Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Nevermind I got it working. I had a few errors in the script and a big mistake my form was missing the "name" for the submit button. :-\ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164750-solved-connecting-and-inserting-into-database/#findComment-868798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
