craygo Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 How many fields you have in the table?? If you have more than 4 then sql is not going to know where to put them. use SET of list the fields then the values for the insert.IE:[code]$query = "insert into books (`field1`, `field2`, `field3`, `field4`) values ('".$isbn."', '".$author."', '".$title."', '".$price."')";[/code]OR[code] $query = "insert into books SET `field1` = '".$isbn."', `field2` = '".$author."', `field3` = '".$title."', `field4` = '".$price."'";[/code]Ray Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22144-cant-get-my-php-script-to-connect-to-mysql/#findComment-100824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
