babymac Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm just learning and am trying to insert data into a table via myphpadmin. I have MAMP running and servers are on. Simple Input Form, then php script follows. I'm getting an error: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1. I've counted my variables over and over and they seem to match to me but this is my first time every doing this so perhaps I'm missing it. Also, I put x's through the sensitive login info and am interested what others do here. Again, this is just a simple assignment that I'm doing on localhost but am looking to the future also. Any thoughts?

babymac Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Wow - it wasn't until I saw the code in the format here that I saw the missing comma plain as day. Fixed - nevermind! I don't know how to delete a post or I would. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/278357-problem-with-inserting-data/#findComment-1432107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
