I'm currently trying to insert a host of data into a MySQL database with a custom built sticky form for a PHP Fusion product.  This form is supposed to enable people to register for events that my client is hosting.  The site has an event calendar addon, which I've modified to display a link if the event in question is supposed to have guest registration.  If so, there's a link that brings the user to a relatively simple registration form.  The link contains the event id, which it passes to the form via GET to help with the eventual insertation of values.

 

Here's my table:

fusion_aflac:

 

registering_agent VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL

agent_writing_number VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL

phone VARCHAR(11) NOT NULL

email VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL

regional_sales_coordinator VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL

district_sales_coordinator VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL

ev_id INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL

user_id SMALLINT(5) UNSIGNED NOT NULL

ev_title VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL

ev_start DATETIME NOT NULL

ev_end DATETIME NOT NULL

login_timestamp INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL

login_status TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL

 

My code (and forgive me, it's long):

<?php

require_once "maincore.php";
require_once "subheader.php";
require_once "side_left.php";

if(file_exists(INFUSIONS."aw_ecal_panel/locale/".$settings['locale'].".php")) {
include INFUSIONS."aw_ecal_panel/locale/".$settings['locale'].".php";
} else {
include INFUSIONS."aw_ecal_panel/locale/German.php";
}

if(isset($_GET['evid'])){
   $ev = dbquery("SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREFIX."aw_ec_events WHERE ev_id=". $_GET['evid']);
   $event = dbarray($ev);

   $ev_id = $event['ev_id'];
   $user_id = $userdata['user_id'];
   $ev_title = $event['ev_title'];
   $ev_start = $event['ev_start'];
   $ev_end = $event['ev_end'];
}

//Below is code I used for debugging my timestamp problems from my last PHP Help thread.

I'm not getting any MySQL syntax errors.  Instead, I'm only getting the message I coded in the event that an insert didn't work ("Something went wrong with the insert!").  Any ideas?

Columns appear to match.  Try mysql_error().

 

Using PHP Fusion's own dbquery() function and the following input:

Registering Agent: Test Subject

Agent Writing Number: A1234

Phone Number: 123 456 7890

E-Mail: testsubject@gmail.com

Regional Sales Coordinator: Another Person

District Sales Coordinator: Someone Else

ev_id: 11

user_id: 1

ev_title: Test

ev_start: 2007-06-14 11:59:00

ev_end: 2007-06-14 11:59:00

login_timestamp: 1181843655

login_status: 1

 

I get the following error:

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 'Subject, A1234, 123-456-7890, testsubject@gmail.com, Another Person, Someone Els'

 

I can't see any obvious error, and the syntax looks correct when I output it to the screen:

INSERT INTO fusion_aflac (registering_agent, agent_writing_number, phone, email, regional_sales_coordinator, district_sales_coordinator, ev_id, user_id, ev_title, ev_start, ev_end, login_timestamp, login_status) VALUES (Test Subject, A1234, 123-456-7890, testsubject@gmail.com, Another Person, Someone Else, 11, 1, Time test, 2007-06-14 11:59:00, 2007-06-14 11:59:00, 1181843655, 1)

Your strings are not quoted.

 

What I like to do alot of times is something like the following:

<?php

query = sprintf('INSERT INTO %saflac (registering_agent, agent_writing_number, phone, email, regional_sales_coordinator, district_sales_coordinator, ev_id, user_id, ev_title, ev_start, ev_end, login_timestamp, login_status) VALUES ("%s", "%s", "%s", "%s", "%s", "%s", "%s", "%s", "%s", "%s", "%s", NOW(), 1)'
	DB_PREFIX,
	mysql_real_escape_string($regAgent),
	mysql_real_escape_string($agentWritingNum),
	mysql_real_escape_string($phoneText),
	mysql_real_escape_string($email),
	mysql_real_escape_string($regSales),
	mysql_real_escape_string($disSales),
	mysql_real_escape_string($ev_id),
	mysql_real_escape_string($user_id),
	mysql_real_escape_string($ev_title),
	mysql_real_escape_string($ev_start),
	mysql_real_escape_string($ev_end)
);


?>

 

Of course, if there's a Fusion-specific dbquery() function, maybe it should handle escaping.  Anyway, the quoting issue is what's generating the error.

LOL, it's always the stupid mistakes that bite me.  Thanks for the help! :D

 

I'm not 100% sure if PHP Fusion uses any escaping.  I'm going to add some to my registration form anyway once I get the second segment of my project finished.  I'm not worried about it right now as I'm doing everything on a test site, so nothing on the live site runs the risk of being messed up.
