What is wrong with this script?

[jonoc33]

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","*****","*****");
if (!$con)
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("revolutiongamerz_net_-_clansolutions", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO emails (accid, email, redirectto, activated)
VALUES ('" . $_POST["accid"] . "','" . $_POST["q1_E-mail"] . "','" . $_POST["q9_Redirectto"] . "','0')";
$rs = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Problem with the query, please contact [email protected] with this error: $sql <br>" . mysql_error);
echo "<center>Email added.";
echo "<center><a href=emails.php>Back</a>";

 

What is wrong with this script? Whenever I fill in a form on the previous page and hit submit it comes up with a Mysql error.

 

I typed in the E-mail box: Poo, and the Redirectto box: [email protected] (the first field is filled in automatically from a hidden text box and the last one is just normal)

<?
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","*****","*****") or die(mysql_error());

?>

 

Try that instead of the long check you have hoing on there.

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","*****","*****");

if (!$con)

  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

I think it's the double quotes in the arrays  '".$_POST["q1_E-mail"]."'  should be '".$_POST['q1_E-mail']."'

Good eyeballs man lol

dewey_witt the two pieces of code are functionally equivalent (except the code that the OP posted contains the 'Could not connect:' string which helps to identify where in the code the error occurred.) So that has nothing to do with the problem.

 

datafan, the two types of quotes are functionally equivalent in the concatenated post variable. So that has nothing to do with the problem.

 

jonoc33, you state you are getting a mysql error, what is it? Note: The syntax in the or die() statement for your INSERT query is incorrect. mysql_error should be mysql_error() This will help you find if there is a syntax error or an incorrectly named table or column in the query.

 

Echo your $sql variable to make sure what it actually contains. Just because you filled something in on a form, does not mean that it reached the php code. There could be a problem with the form code or a typo in a variable name.
