Lamez Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 ok In my installation process, I wanted the user to be able to add their own username and password with admin rights. I have a form that will allow them to do this, but I cannot get it to take the information from the form and add it to the database. How can I do this? here is my form script <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <h1>Creating Admin Account (Step 3 of 3)</h1> <p>this will create your user name and password to the website's database, this will able you to run the website, just login as this username, and password </p> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="action.php"> <table width="75%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"> <tr> <td width="23%">Administration's User Name </td> <td width="22%"><input name="username" type="text" id="username" size="30" maxlength="50" /></td> <td width="55%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Administration's Password </td> <td><input name="password" type="password" id="password" size="30" maxlength="50" /></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Administration's E-Mail </td> <td><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="30" maxlength="50" /></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="userid" type="hidden" id="userid" value="1" /> <input name="userlevel" type="hidden" id="userlevel" value="1" /></td> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Finish" /> <input name="reset" type="reset" id="reset" value="Reset" /></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </form> <p> </p> </body> </html> here is my action.php, it is suppose to add info to the database <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) include ("../_bin_/config.php"); {//begin of if($submit). // Set global variables to easier names // and pervent sql injection and apostrophe to break the db. $user = mysql_escape_string($_POST['username']); $pass = mysql_escape_string($_POST['password']); $ulvl = mysql_escape_string($_POST['userlevel']); $uid = mysql_escape_string($_POST['userid']); $emil = mysql_escape_string($_POST['email']); include ("../_bin_/config.php"); // connect to the mysql server $link = mysql_connect($DB_SERVER, $DB_USER, $DB_PASS) or die ("Could not connect to mysql because ".mysql_error()); // select the database mysql_select_db($DB_NAME) or die ("Could not select database because ".mysql_error()); //run the query which adds the data gathered from the form into the database $result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (username, password, userlevel, userid, email"); //print success message. echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=1;url=finish.php>"; } ?> any suggestions? I need to add this info to the database "websitedb" under the table "users" Username, Password, Email, UserID, Userlevel. How?
