Form Action Problems

[Xtremer360]

After I submit the form it doesn't place it in the database. Don't know why.

 

print '<h1 class="backstage">Match Type Management</h1><br />';
    print '<h2 class="backstage">Add New Match Type</h2><br />';
    print '<form name="matchtype" method="post">';
    print '<table width="100%" class="table2">';
    print '<tr>';
    print '<td width="120" class="rowheading" valign="center">Match Type:</td><td class="row3"><input type="text" name="matchtype" class="fieldtext490"></td>';
    print '</tr>';
    print '</table><br />';
    print '<input type="hidden" name="newadded"><input type="submit" value="Save Match Type" class="button" name="addmatchtype"></form><br />';
    print '<form method="POST"><input type="submit" value="Return to Match Type List" class="button200" name="return"></form><br />';

 

<?php 
    function matchtypes()
    {
        if(isset($_POST['addmatchtype']))
    {
        $matchtype = $_POST['matchtype'];
        $query = "INSERT INTO `efed_list_matchtypes` (`matchtype`) VALUES ('$matchtype')";

        if (@mysql_query ($query)) 
        {
            print '<p>The match type has been added.</p>';
        } else 
        
            {
                print '<p>Could not add the entry because: <b>" . mysql_error() . "</b>. The query was $query.</p>';
            }
  
    }
    }
?>

where are u using the connection string to the database and how can it add to database if not connected to any one of the dataservers...

[Xtremer360]

Where at do I put the include of that file in the coding? And it's not even giving me an error message or anything should I be worried?

[Deoctor]

u should include a file right at the top of the php file

u can use it under the

<?php 

tag

like this

<?php
include "inc.php";
print '<h1 class="backstage">Match Type Management</h1><br />';
    print '<h2 class="backstage">Add New Match Type</h2><br />';
    print '<form name="matchtype" method="post">';
    print '<table width="100%" class="table2">';
    print '<tr>';
    print '<td width="120" class="rowheading" valign="center">Match Type:</td><td class="row3"><input type="text" name="matchtype" class="fieldtext490"></td>';
    print '</tr>';
    print '</table><br />';
    print '<input type="hidden" name="newadded"><input type="submit" value="Save Match Type" class="button" name="addmatchtype"></form><br />';
    print '<form method="POST"><input type="submit" value="Return to Match Type List" class="button200" name="return"></form><br />';

    function matchtypes()
    {
        if(isset($_POST['addmatchtype']))
    {
        $matchtype = $_POST['matchtype'];
        $query = "INSERT INTO `efed_list_matchtypes` (`matchtype`) VALUES ('$matchtype')";

        if (@mysql_query ($query)) 
        {
            print '<p>The match type has been added.</p>';
        } else 
        
            {
                print '<p>Could not add the entry because: <b>" . mysql_error() . "</b>. The query was $query.</p>';
            }
  
    }
    }
?>
