fenway Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yeah, that makes no sense... those aren't values -- string literals -- they're field names. And where is the column list? I'm confused, and so is the parser. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16481-you-have-an-error-in-your-sql-syntax/#findComment-68796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 ye i thought that :S i rote it originally i had a few errors so i asked my mate for advice(hes been doing it longer than me) n he just messed round with the connection till it came up with this error and the he didnt know what to do :S this is the one i had before:[code]$query = mysql_query('INSERT INTO users VALUES(id=$id, username=$username, encryptpass=$encryptpass, password=$password, name=$name, prov=$prov, style=$style, hist=$hist, infl=$infl, open=$open, webs=$webs, email=$email, signupdate=now()') or die (mysql_error());[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16481-you-have-an-error-in-your-sql-syntax/#findComment-68807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 While you can use a variation of the UPDATE syntax for inserts, I prefer to use the more conventional approach:[code]$query = mysql_query('INSERT INTO users (id, username, encryptpass, password, name, prov, style, hist, infl, open, webs, email, photo, signupdate ) VALUES('$id', '$username', '$encryptpass', '$password', '$name', '$prov', '$style', '$hist', '$infl', '$open', '$webs', '$email', now()) or die (mysql_error());[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16481-you-have-an-error-in-your-sql-syntax/#findComment-68823 Share on other sites More sharing options...

king arthur Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 What Fenway meant of course was[code]$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (id, username, encryptpass, password, name, prov, style, hist, infl, open, webs, email, photo, signupdate ) VALUES('$id', '$username', '$encryptpass', '$password', '$name', '$prov', '$style', '$hist', '$infl', '$open', '$webs', '$email', now()") or die (mysql_error());[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16481-you-have-an-error-in-your-sql-syntax/#findComment-68857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
