Hi There,

 

I am trying to get this code working and have sat here for hours trying to figure out whats wrong. Every time I try to add to a mysql database with this is just returns the error "Unable to insert record into database". I can't figure out whats wrong with it.

 

Here's the code.

<?php
/*************************************************
* Micro Upload
*
* Version: 0.1
* Date: 2006-10-27
*
* Usage:
* Set the uploadLocation variable to the directory
* where you want to store the uploaded files.
* Use the version which is relevenat to your server OS.
*
****************************************************/

//Windows way
//$uploadLocation = "c:\\";
//Unix, Linux way
$uploadLocation = "/var/www/html/galleryadmin/upload/";

?>


<?php
$hostUrl = 'l*****';
$userName = '*****';
$password = '******';
// connect to database
$connectID = mysql_connect($hostUrl, $userName, $password)
  or die ("Sorry, can't connect to database");

//select the database to read from
mysql_select_db("majubagallery_-_data", $connectID)
  or die ("Unable to select database");	
  
  

$name=($_POST['name']);
$namen=($_POST['price']);
$thumb_url=($_POST['thumb_url']);	
$big_url=($_POST['big_url']);

if (($_POST['submitted']) && (!$_GET['modify_id'])) {
// the user has submitted a new listing
  //write to database
mysql_query ("INSERT into art_glass (name, price, thumb_url, big_url) VALUES ('$name', '$price', '$thumb_url', '$big_url')", $connectID)
  or die ("Unable to insert record into database");
if ($success) { 
print "Record Successfully Added";
header ('Location: microUpload.php');
       	}
}  else {
// The user has loaded the page to enter a new listing
// do nothing - just let the page load
}

?>

Try changing....

 

or die ("Unable to insert record into database");

 

to....

 

or die (mysql_error());

 

so you can at least get feedback on what the problem might actually be.

 

You should then also probably investigate using trigger_error in place of or die as or die is a poor method of debugging.
