Petty_Crim Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I get this 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 ' , , , , , , , , , , , )' at line 1" My sql statement is this: mysql_query("INSERT INTO players (player_id, match_id, kills, deaths) VALUES ('$user_id', ".$_POST['match_id'].",".$_POST['kills$username'].", ".$_POST['deaths$username'].")") or die ('Error adding new player '.mysql_error()); I'm thinking it must be to do with me combining string and variables together. So is ".$_POST['kills$username']." correct? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/78209-variables-combined-with-string-in-sql-statements/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajivgonsalves Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 you forgot the single quotes mysql_query("INSERT INTO players (player_id, match_id, kills, deaths) VALUES ('$user_id', '".$_POST['match_id']."','".$_POST['kills$username']."', '".$_POST['deaths$username']."')") or die ('Error adding new player '.mysql_error()); I would prefer doing mysql_query("INSERT INTO players (player_id, match_id, kills, deaths) VALUES ('$user_id', '{$_POST['match_id']}','{$_POST['kills$username']}', '{$_POST['deaths$username']}')") or die ('Error adding new player '.mysql_error()); however your errors shows there are no values coming in check you $_POST array Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/78209-variables-combined-with-string-in-sql-statements/#findComment-395766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
