Insert into database


StirCrazy

Recommended Posts

Again sorry my code isn't exactly neat and tidy (still learning) *sorry*.

Got a problem that I can't work out ~

Trying to allow users of our website to directly email each other without disclosing their email addresses.

I'm trying to store all outgoing messages into a mysql database...

....can't work out why none of the data will insert into the table.

Any ideas?


Below is the relevent data (btw the sql function works fine: the whole site uses it)

[code]function contact2() {

  global $site_prefix;
  global $site_title; 
 
  $send_to_user = $_POST['sendto'];
  $msg = $_POST['msg'];     

  $r = my_query("select username,email from central_users where id='" .
  mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['user']) . "'");
  list($username,$from) = mysql_fetch_row($r);
 
  $r = my_query("select email from central_users where username='" .
  mysql_real_escape_string($send_to_user) . "'");
  list($to) = mysql_fetch_row($r); 


  $r = my_query("insert into email_reports (site,send_to_user,from,message,email,timedate) values(
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($site_prefix) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($send_to_user) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($username) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($msg) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($to) . "',
    '" . get_time() . "')");


  $subject = "New Private Message has arrived from " . $username;
  $headers = "From: $from\nReply-To: $from\nContent-Type: text/plain\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit";
  $body = stripslashes($msg);

  @mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);

  ?>
 
<br><br>
<span class="PlainText">Your message has been sent!</span>
<br><br>

  <?php

  return(0);
}[/code]


[quote]CREATE TABLE `email_reports` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `site` varchar(255) default NULL,
  `send_to_user` varchar(255) default NULL,

nah my_query is one of my functions ~ is actually included when this is run (sorry just forgot to add the include just above function contact2() .

function my_query($sql) {
  global $link;
  $result = @mysql_query($sql, $link);
  if ($result) return $result;
  if (DEBUG_MODE) { error_report(10); };

  return false;
}

I'm guessing that the error lies here:-
[code]  $r = my_query("insert into email_reports (site,send_to_user,from,message,email,timedate) values(
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($site_prefix) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($send_to_user) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($username) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($msg) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($to) . "',
    '" . get_time() . "')"); [/code]
and not in the way the database table is set up?

instead of this:
[code]
$r = my_query("insert into email_reports (site,send_to_user,from,message,email,timedate) values(
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($site_prefix) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($send_to_user) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($username) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($msg) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($to) . "',
    '" . get_time() . "')");
[/code]
do this:
[code]
$sql = "insert into email_reports (site,send_to_user,from,message,email,timedate) values(
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($site_prefix) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($send_to_user) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($username) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($msg) . "',
    '" . mysql_real_escape_string($to) . "',
    '" . get_time() . "')";
$r = my_query($sql);
[/code]
now, echo $sql and examine it. insert it directly into your db through phpmyadmin or whatever. see if it works there. If it does, then the problem is your code, not the query. post what you find out, including the query string.
