nomadsoul Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hi, This form is not inserting into the quiz table. I know that MySql is very strict about inserts, especially with PKs and auto_incs. Is this the correct syntax? The insert works on the CLI and the select and update queries appear on the forms. //not my script but I'd like to use it <HTML> <link rel="stylesheet" href="quiz.css" type="text/css"> <body><center> <P> </P> <B>Admin area - edit the quiz</B> <?php include("contentdb.php"); if($submit) { $sql = "INSERT INTO $table (question, opt1, opt2, opt3, answer) VALUES ('$question','$opt1','$opt2','$opt3','$answer')"; $result = mysql_query($sql); echo "<br><br>Question added to quiz.<br><br>"; include "qinsert.php"; } else if($update) { $sql = "UPDATE $table SET question='$question',opt1='$opt1',opt2='$opt2',opt3='$opt3',answer='$answer' WHERE id=$id"; $result = mysql_query($sql); echo "<br><br>The quiz has been succesfully updated.<br><br>\n"; } else if($id) { $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id=$id",$db); $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); ?> <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>"> <input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $myrow["id"]?>"> <b>Question:</b><br> <input type="Text" name="question" value="<?php echo $myrow["question"]?>" size="50"> <br> <b>Option 1:</b><br> <input type="Text" name="opt1" value="<?php echo $myrow["opt1"]?>" size="30"> <br> <b>Option 2:</b><br> <input type="Text" name="opt2" value="<?php echo $myrow["opt2"]?>" size="30"> <br> <b>Option 3:</b><br> <input type="Text" name="opt3" value="<?php echo $myrow["opt3"]?>" size="30"> <br> <b>Answer</b> (must be identical to correct option):<br> <input type="Text" name="answer" value="<?php echo $myrow["answer"]?>" size="30"> <br> <br> <input type="Submit" name="update" value="Update information"></form> <? } else { ?> <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>"> <p><br> <b>Question:</b><br> <input type="Text" name="question" size="50"> <br> <b>Option 1:</b><br> <input type="Text" name="opt1" size="30"> <br> <b>Option 2:</b><br> <input type="Text" name="opt2" size="30"> <br> <b>Option 3:</b><br> <input type="Text" name="opt3" size="30"> <br> <b>Answer</b> (must be identical to correct option):<br> <input type="Text" name="answer" size="30"> <br> <br> <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Enter information"> </p> </form> <? } ?> <a href="editquizlist.php">Back to list of quiz questions</a> </center> </body> </HTML> Describe quiz: Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | id | tinyint(4) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | question | text | NO | | NULL | | | opt1 | text | NO | | NULL | | | opt2 | text | NO | | NULL | | | opt3 | text | NO | | NULL | | | answer | text | NO | | NULL | | +----------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181580-insert-query-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
abazoskib Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 You should A) echo the actual SQL statement from the running program..and B) echo mysql_error() after you run mysql_query() Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181580-insert-query-not-working/#findComment-957814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 The posted code is way out of date. It is dependent on register_globals being on to magically populate program variables form the $_POST data. register_globals were turned off by default in php4.2 in April of the year 2002, over 7 years ago. Since register_globals have been complete removed in php6, you would need to update the code for it to be usable with register_globals turned off in all current versions of php and removed in future versions.
