I need help echoing out my SQL statement in the following code. This is a data upload application which uploads a tab delemeted txt file into a MySQL table. I am getting a MySQL error.

 

MySQL 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 'Group,Title) VALUES ('','','','','' at line 1

 

so I need to see the SQL to see why it isn't working. I have tried echoing out but not seeing the echo, so must be doing it wrong.

 

<?php
require_once('databaseClass.php');

if ($_POST) {
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {
	if (empty($value)) {
		if ($key == 'fileurl') {
			$errors[] = 'Please provide the URL to the text file containing the data you want to load';
			}
		else if ($key == 'dbname') {
			$errors[] = 'Please provide the name of the database into which you want to load the data';
			}
		else if ($key == 'dbuser') {
			$errors[] = 'Please provide the appropriate Username for the database';
			}
		else if ($key == 'db_pw') {
			$errors[] = 'Please provide the appropriate PW for the database';
			}
		else if ($key == 'dbtable') {
			$errors[] = 'Please provide the database table into which you would like to insert data';
			}
		else if ($key == 'fields') {
			$errors[] = 'Please specify the field names for the table';
			}
		}
	}
if (!isset($errors)) {
	$file = fopen('../'.$_POST['fileurl'], 'r');
	if ($file) {
		$pattern = '/[\n\r\t]/';
		while (!feof($file)) {
			$line = trim(fgets($file));
			$newline = preg_replace($pattern,'\t',$line);
			$lines[] = explode('\t',$newline);
			//echo (fgets($file));
			}
		fclose($file);
		if (count($lines) > 0) {
			$countSuccess = 0;
			$fields = explode(',',$_POST['fields']);
			//$entryCnt = count($tmp);
			$db = new Database('localhost',$_POST['dbuser'],$_POST['db_pw'],$_POST['dbname'],0);
			for ($i=0; $i<count($lines); $i++) {
				$tmp = NULL;
				$sql = 'INSERT INTO '.$_POST['dbtable'].' (';
				for ($k=0; $k<count($lines[$i]); $k++) {
					if (isset($lines[$i][$k]) && $lines[$i][$k] != NULL) {
						$tmp[] = $fields[$k];
						}
					}
				$sql .= implode(',',$tmp);

				$sql .= ') VALUES (';
				for ($j=0; $j<count($lines[$i]); $j++) {
					if (isset($lines[$i][$j]) && $lines[$i][$j] != NULL) {
						if (is_numeric($lines[$i][$j])) {
$sql .= $lines[$i][$j];
echo $sql;//trying to echo out SQL here

}
else {
  $sql .= "'".mysql_real_escape_string($lines[$i][$j])."'";
}
if($j != (count($lines[$i])-1)) {
  $sql .= ',';
}
}
					}
				$sql .= ')';

				$result = $db->query($sql);
				if($result) {
					$countSuccess++;
					}
				//escape $sql;

				}

			$db->close();
			if($countSuccess > 0) {
				header('Location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?numInserted='.$countSuccess);
				}
			else {
				$errors[] = 'No data was inserted into the database.  Please check all fields again.';
				}
			//print_r($lines);
			}
		else {
			$errors[] = 'No data in designated file';
			}
		}
	else {
		$errors[] = 'Not able to open specified file.  Please check that it is the correct URL to text file.';
		}
	}
}

well, I am still debugging the upload tool, but I can echo out the SQL and insert that directly into the MySQL DB through PHPMyAdmin so at least I got that part to work :-)

 

Good.  You may want to mark this solved and if you have a another question you should start a new thread.
