VALUES (null,0,0,$firstname,$lastname,$email,$body,$company,$website,$telephone,$address,$city,$state,$zip)";

should be:

VALUES ('null','0','0','$firstname','$lastname','$email','$body','$company','$website','$telephone','$address','$city','$state','$zip')";

You should also put variables into SQL like this:


VALUES ('{$firstname}',' //etc

per1os · March 14, 2007

Just an fyi:

if ($problem == TRUE) {
$content .= 'Errors:<br />';
}

is better stated like this:


if ($problem) {
$content .= 'Errors:<br />';
}

No need to set it == TRUE as the if statement will recognize it on it's own.

Also I would add this:

mysql_query($query) or DIE(mysql_error());

So you know if there is an error there.

papaface · March 14, 2007

You should also mysql_real_escape_string(); everything before you put variables into the database.

Okay, I did both changes that you guys mentioned. Here is the error I got, along with updated code:

	
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'read,firstname,lastname,email,body,company,website,telephone,address,city,state,' at line 1

If ID is auto_increment you dont specifty an input for it. That applies for anything else that is auto-generated.

aebstract · March 14, 2007

	
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'read,firstname,lastname,email,body,company,website,telephone,address,city,state,' at line 1

$query = "INSERT INTO contact (type,read,firstname,lastname,email,body,company,website,telephone,address,city,state,zip) VALUES ('0','0','$firstname','$lastname','$email','$body','$company','$website','$telephone','$address','$city','$state','$zip')";

I had it there at first cause I wasn't sure if it had to be removed or not. This is the new code + the error message to go along with it.

Either type or read is a reserved word in MySQL to fix this one of 2 things, rename them to something different or add `columnname`, `columnname2` to all your column names.

Remember it is ` not single quote '

Thank you, I added a letter on to each of those and it seems to have fixed the problem.
