SQL Syntax - INSERT

Recommended Posts

$createaccount_q = "INSERT INTO checkbook_users (id, name, email, password) 
VALUES (NULL, '$register_name', '$register_email', md5('$register_pw')";
$createaccount = mysql_query($createaccount_q)
or die("Couldn't create username. " . mysql_error() );

 

Always comes out with:

"Couldn't create username. 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 '' at line 2"

 

Not sure where my error is.  Help Please!

try taking the single quotes out of the md5 function. See if that works.

 

Also I tend to use this

 

$query = "INSERT INTO bizdata VALUES ('','$item1','$item2','$etc')";

 

I dont specify which but fill them all out regardless. So the above example would be for a table with only four fields.

Consider this:

 

$result = mysql_query($query = sprintf("
     INSERT INTO checkbook_users (id, name, email, password) 
     VALUES (NULL, '%s', '%s', md5('%s'))"
          , mysql_real_escape_string($register_name)
          , mysql_real_escape_string($register_email)
          , mysql_real_escape_string($register_pw))) or trigger_error(mysql_error()."<PRE>".$query."</PRE>", E_USER_ERROR);
