[SOLVED] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

[Alex]

There's just an extra ( like the error says:

 

find this:

 

'"($_POST['password']"'

 

And edit it to:

 

'" . md5(md5($_POST['password'])) . "'

 

Edit: The code that you quoted isn't what MadTechie posted.. copy his original code and it'll work..

no i'm getting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in l/formdata/auto/submit.php on line 3

your variables going into the db are all mixed up .. they need to be lined up to ensure success.

 

look...

 

`name`,`last`,`mi`,`add`,`add2`,`city`,`state`,`zip`,`hp`,`cp`,`work`,`email`,`make`,`model`,`color`,`plate`) VALUES ('{$_POST['name']}','{$_POST['last']}','{$_POST['mi']}','{$_POST['phone']}','{$_POST['cp']}','{$_POST['wp']}','{$_POST['add']}','{$_POST['add2']}','{$_POST['city']}','{$_POST['state']}','{$_POST['zip']}','"($_POST['password']"','{$_POST['make']}','{$_POST['model']},{$_POST['color']}','{$_POST['plate']}')";

 

you have: `name`,`last`,`mi`,`add` as field names, then, after `mi`, you start inserting different values, `$_POST['phone']`,`$_POST['cp']` .. should be `$_POST['add']`,`$_POST['add2']` .. and so on.

 

also, double-hashing your password is less secure than a single hash 'md5(md5($_POST['password']))' as i seen in one of your other posts .. single hash with salt is your best line of security.  using multiple hashes can lead to hash collisions.

 

lining your query up with proper vars to fields should eliminate the 'not inserting issue' .. start there, and then see if you get an error, otherwise, you're just wasting everybody's time.

Still getting that error after i lined everything up like you suggested mrMarcus

[mrMarcus]

can you repost the most updated code, please?

[Matthew Herren]

sorry here it is. and now i'm getting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /auto/submit.php on line 32

<?php

$res=mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error());

[Alex]

You were missing )"; at the end.

[mrMarcus]

^beat me to it.

[Matthew Herren]

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 '' `add`, `add2`, `city`, `state`, `zip`, `password` ) VALUES ( 'mATThew', 'hERRE' at line 8

 

I'm running MySQL 5.0

[Alex]

I found another problem..

 

`email`'

 

Should be:

 

`email`,
