PHP Forms Insert into MySQL


Prog

Recommended Posts

$query="INSERT INTO c$p ('id', 'Date', 'Name', 'Email', 'Entry') VALUES (NULL, NULL, '{$_POST[fname]}', '{$_POST[femail]}', '{$_POST[fentry]}')";

if(!mysql_query($query))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}

 

The error report is: 

Error: 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 ''id', 'Date', 'Name', 'Email', 'Entry') VALUES (NULL, NULL, 'sample name', 'samp' at line 1

 

Help?

use backticks instead of single quotes when stating a table column.

 

try this:

 

$query="INSERT INTO c$p (`id`, `Date`, `Name`, `Email`, `Entry`) VALUES (NULL, NULL, '{$_POST[fname]}', '{$_POST[femail]}', '{$_POST[fentry]}')";

if(!mysql_query($query))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}

Remove the quotes around the field names.

<?php
$query="INSERT INTO c$p (id, Date, Name, Email, Entry) VALUES (NULL, NULL, '{$_POST[fname]}', '{$_POST[femail]}', '{$_POST[fentry]}')";
?>

 

BTW, it's very unwise to use any data directly from the $_POST or $_GET arrays directly in a query. At the very least use the function mysql_real_escape_string on the data.

<?php
$query="INSERT INTO c$p (id, `Date`, Name, Email, Entry) VALUES (NULL, NULL, '" , mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fname']) . "', '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['femail']) . "', '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fentry']) . "')";
?>

You are using the URL value to define a file to include!

 

I fixed that with gettype($p)=="integer".  Would that completely fix that loose end?

Never mind.  I used $p=intval($p);  Anything else to fix?
