rasraziel Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hello, guys. I am experiencing some problems with an INSERT statement in this page. It simply won't write to the database! I added echo at the bottom to check my variables and they print the values just fine. I checked the database, table and datafield names and everything is correct, plus I don't have any issues with the other 25 tables of my database. I'm using XAMPP btw... Any help would be appreciated! <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type"> <title>Doctors</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" media="screen" /> </head> <body > <?php session_start(); $inc_code=$_SESSION['incident']; $doc_code=$_REQUEST['doctor_code']; $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } $mdb = "registry_db"; mysql_select_db($mdb, $con); mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'", $con); ?> <div id="myform"> <p> <h2>Doctor in charge</h2> </p> <?php $sql="INSERT INTO doctors_per_incident(Incident_code, doctor_code) VALUES ('$inc_code', '$doc_code')"; echo "1 record added"."

litebearer Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 the session_start( ) function must come before any HTML, including blank lines, on the page.
