Barand Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You won't know if there is an error unless you echo the message Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280230-inserting-values-from-a-dynamic-drop-down-list-into-database/#findComment-1441033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
litebearer Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 In your insert line, you forgot to enclose the last variable in single quotes. (not sure if that is the only issue) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280230-inserting-values-from-a-dynamic-drop-down-list-into-database/#findComment-1441039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 In your insert line, you forgot to enclose the last variable in single quotes. (not sure if that is the only issue) No quotes if numeric value, and $category_id probably is, as is the $price Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280230-inserting-values-from-a-dynamic-drop-down-list-into-database/#findComment-1441110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
