aztec Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hello I am having a problem getting multiple fields posted from a form using PHP into a MYSQL database. The following code will only allow me to input the first field, ie first_name into the database. I do not get any errors and after I click submit the form regenerates but without informing me that a new person as been added. Any help would be appreciated. Kind Regards <?php if (isset($_POST['first_name'])): $dbcnx = @mysql_connect('xxxxxx', 'yyyyyy', 'zzzzzz'); if (!$dbcnx) { exit('<p>Unable to connect to the ' . 'database server at this time.</p>'); } if (!@mysql_select_db('xxxxxx')) { exit('<p>Unable to locate the xxxxxx ' . 'database at this time.</p>'); } $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; $second_name = $_POST['second_name']; $surname = $_POST['surname']; $sql = "INSERT INTO QQQQQQ SET first_name='$first_name', second_name='$second_name', surname = '$surname'”; <?php else: // Allow the user to enter a new person ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" > <table> <tr> <!--<label>First Name:<input type="varchar" name="first_name" /></label><br />--> <td colspan="2" class="lablecell"><label>First Name</label></td> <td colspan="2" class="fieldcell"> <input type="varchar" name="first_name" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="lablecell"><label>Second Name</label></td> <td colspan="2" class="fieldcell"> <input type="varchar" second_name="second_name" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="lablecell"><label>Surname</label></td> <td colspan="2" class="fieldcell"> <input type="varchar" surname="surname" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> <?php endif; ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90098-solved-getting-multiple-fields-into-db/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Are you sure your POST hash is "full"? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90098-solved-getting-multiple-fields-into-db/#findComment-461963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztec Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hello Fenway I do not know if it full or not. I am assuming that it contains all of the data fields. How can I test it please.

fenway Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 First, echo the $sql variable, let's make sure it makes sense. Second, that's a PHP question... I have no idea.

aztec Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hello Fenway It echos out with data only in the first field ie first_name, then lists all the other fields without any data in them.
