How do you store a php cookie value in a database?

[debuitls]

Hi,

 

This is a bit basic but anyway..

 

I have a php cookie called “uname” that stores a username.

 

I want to store this “uname” cookie value in a mysql database.

 

When I run the page with below code I just get a HTTP 500 error.

 

$username = $check["uname"];

 

$sql="INSERT INTO proposal (username)

 

VALUES

 

(‘$_COOKIE[“uname”]’)”;

 

I’m new to php so just wondering if anyone could tell me if I’m going about this in the right way and if so what the problem with the above code is.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

try :

 

$sql = "INSERT INTO proposal(username) VALUES('$username')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
