doni49 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'm trying to setup a prepared statement to insert data in my table. When I insert the data, it appears to work fine unti........... I look at the data that was actually inserted -- the date is listed in the DB with all zeros. Here's what the statement looks like: $isTrue = 'true'; $q = "INSERT INTO `" . $tableName . "` (`payee`,`date`,`memo`,`acctID`,`ref`,`hasChildren`,`userID`) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?);"; $stmt = $conn->prepare($q); $stmt->bind_param("sssisii",$txn['payee'] , $txn['date'] , $txn['memo'] ,$txn['acctID'] ,$txn['ref'] ,$isTrue, $uID); This is the code I'm using to execute the insert: echo "<pre>"; print_r($txn); echo "</pre>"; if($stmt->execute()){ $txnegories[]=$lastID = $conn->insert_id; } else { throw new Exception($conn->error); } This is what the print_r displays in the browser. Array ( [ref] => null [date] => 2015-12-10 [payee] => John SMith [memo] => null [acctID] => 1 ) This is what the table definition looks like as well as the contents of the table: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `transactions` ( `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `ref` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL, `date` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, `payee` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL, `amount` decimal(10,2) DEFAULT NULL, `memo` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL, `catID` bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT NULL, `acctXID` smallint(6) unsigned DEFAULT NULL, `acctID` smallint(6) unsigned DEFAULT NULL, `version` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `userID` bigint(20) DEFAULT NULL, `type` enum('normal','transfer') DEFAULT 'normal', `hasChildren` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `parentID` bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `fkTxnParentID` (`parentID`), KEY `fkAcctID` (`acctID`), KEY `fkCatID` (`catID`), KEY `fkAcctXID` (`acctXID`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=4315 ; INSERT INTO `transactions` (`id`, `ref`, `date`, `payee`, `amount`, `memo`, `catID`, `acctXID`, `acctID`, `version`, `userID`, `type`, `hasChildren`, `parentID`) VALUES (4283, NULL, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'Jack McCoy', '10.25', 'null', 4, NULL, 1, NULL, 4, 'normal', 0, NULL); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_gyver Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 is there a chance that the date value contains some non-printing/white-space characters? what does using var_dump($txn['date']); show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doni49 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'll look when I get home. Thanks Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doni49 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 But I'm almost 100% sure the answer is no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doni49 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Mac, It's worse that I thought. After seeing your post, I went back and looked again. I found a spot in my php file where $txn['date'] did actually have an invalid value -- outside of the for loop where the execute is located. So I removed that line and have found that it's not using the variable values as they're defined at the time the execute statement runs. I thoguht that was one of the main points of prepared statements (in addition to better control of what gets entered). Now that I removed the line that set the variable outside the for loop, this is what the entire php file looks like. The entire row of data that gets added to the table has NULL values. But the directly above the execute line, I did a print_r showing that the values aren't NULL. <doctype HTML> <html> <head> </head> <body> <?php //header ("Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8"); require("/home/user/includes/db_Connect.inc.php"); $tableName = 'transactions'; $putData = json_encode(array( array("ref"=>"null","date"=>"2015-12-17","payee"=>"Jack McCoy","memo"=>"null","acctID"=>'1',"amount"=>"10.25","catID"=>"4","acctXID"=>"NULL","type"=>"normal") )); $arr = json_decode($putData); $cnt = -1; $uID = 4; try{ $isTrue = 'true'; $isFalse = 'false'; $q = "INSERT INTO `" . $tableName . "` (`payee`,`date`,`memo`,`acctID`,`acctXID`,`ref`,`type`,`hasChildren`,`amount`,`catID`,`userID`) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)"; if($normalStmt = $conn->prepare($q)){ $normalStmt->bind_param("sssiissidii",$txn['payee'],$txn['date'],$txn['memo'],$txn['acctID'],$txn['acctXID'],$txn['ref'],$txn['type'],$isFalse,$txn['amount'] ,$txn['catID'], $uID); }else { printf("(Normal) Error message: %s\n<br>", $conn->error); } foreach ($arr as $txn){ $cnt++; $txn = (array)$txn; unset($query); echo "<pre>"; print_r($txn); echo "</pre><br />"; $query = "INSERT INTO `" . $tableName . "` (`payee`,`date`,`memo`,`acctID`,`ref`,`amount`,`catID`,`userID`) VALUES ('" . $txn['payee'] . "'," . $txn['date'] . ",'" . $txn['memo'] . "'," . $txn['acctID'] . "," . $txn['ref'] . "," . $txn['amount'] . "," . $txn['catID'] . "," . $uID . ");"; if ($normalStmt->execute()){//$conn->query($query) === TRUE) { $rowID[] = $conn->insert_id; } else { throw new Exception($conn->error); } } }catch(Exception $e) { echo '\nCaught exception: ', $e->getMessage(), "\n"; } } ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doni49 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 This is what my browser displays (per the print_r instruction). Array ( [ref] => null [date] => 2015-12-17 [payee] => Jack McCoy [memo] => null [acctID] => 1 [amount] => 10.25 [catID] => 4 [acctXID] => NULL [type] => normal ) And this is what was added to the db table. (4403, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 4, NULL, 0, NULL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution mac_gyver Posted January 3, 2016 Solution Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) this is a problem with the foreach($arr as $txn) loop and references. the $txn variable that the foreach loop creates is a new variable and any reference(s) when you ran the bind_param() statement no longer exists. your example is only looping over a single set of data. if you don't need to do this in a loop, don't. if you do need to do this in a loop, either 1) bind individually named variables, $payee, $date, , ..., then, inside the foreach(){} loop, assign each named element of $txn to the correct named variable, $payee = $txn['payee'];, ...or 2) bind elements of a differently named array, $temp['payee'], $temp['date'], ..., then, inside the foreach loop, assign each named element of $txn to the correct named element in $temp (you can actually use a second foreach loop to do this). if you use the $temp array method, you must assign each element individually inside the loop. you cannot simply do $temp = $txn; because this will end up referencing the last element in the $arr every time through the loop, if i remember correctly.

doni49 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks Mac. I would never have guessed that. I think I can handle the temp var suggestion. The data set you're seeing is only test data. After I get this working, this php script will be receiving data in json format and there will almost always be a lot more transactions. That's why I'm doing it in a for loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
