Pikachu2000 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Although I suspect there will be other problems, try these changes. $sql="INSERT INTO subjects VALUES('{$_POST['subname']}', '{$_POST['submarks']}', '{$_POST['subgrade']}', 'T')"; AND ?> // NOT <?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/238254-whats-the-error-in-this-insert-statement/#findComment-1224382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
teynon Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 It really annoys me when people say they are getting a parse error or syntax error or anything like that. Just POST the ERROR MESSAGE. K, thanks. Pikachu2000 should have nailed the parse error, though.

jcbones Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The insert statement will not cause an error, because it is never sent to the Database. You must use mysql_query($sql) to do that.

teynon Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 It'll cause a parse error if he doesn't type it right. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/238254-whats-the-error-in-this-insert-statement/#findComment-1224410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummin Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Define the table rows these values are being added to. I just guessed, so change as needed. mysql_query("INSERT INTO subjects (subname, submarks, subgrade, whoknows) VALUES('$_POST['subname']','$_POST]['submarks']','$_POST['subgrade']','T')"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/238254-whats-the-error-in-this-insert-statement/#findComment-1224411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbones Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Try this: <html> <body> <?php $con=mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); if(!$con) { die ('Can not connect to :' .mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("brite",$con); $sql="insert into subjects VALUES('{$_POST['subname']}','{$_POST['submarks']}','{$_POST['subgrade']}','T')"; mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error( mysql_error() ); mysql_close(); header('Location:subject.php'); exit(); ?> You had an extra bracket (]) around one of your $_POST variables.
