In the second example you are enclosing field values with ticks ` instead of single quotes ' You don't get any errors because you don't check for errors, if you put :
echo mysql_error(); after mysql_query (....) you will see the error. To solve this problem simple replace ticks enclosing values from the second example with single quotes : mysql_query("INSERT INTO `orders` VALUES ('$ordernumber' , '$companyname' , '$billingaddress' , '$City' , '$State2' , '$Zip' , '$PhoneNumber' , '$FaxNumber' , '$WebPage' , '$EmailAddress' , '$Notes' , '$Customer' , '$Startdate' , '$Completedate' , '$Biddate' , '$Bidamount' , '$ElecProjCost' , '$ElecProjBill' , '$ElecRem' , '$CtrlProjCost' , '$CtrlProjBill' , '$CtrlProjrem' , '$OthrProjCost' , '$OthrProjBill' , '$OthrProjrem', '$BondAm', '$BondBill' , '$BondRem' )"); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian E Boothe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: mysql.general To: <mysql@lists.mysql.com> Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 5:59 AM Subject: Wont insert into database >i have two php Forms to insert data into a Mysql 4.0.20d Database, one > is just a simple form to test if it works the other is the Actual > application, > here is the test form and works Perfectly > >> > <? > $name=$_POST['Name']; > $value1=$_POST['value1']; > $value2=$_POST['value2']; > $sum=$_POST['sumfield']; > mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die(mysql_error()); > mysql_select_db("testbase") or die(mysql_error()); > mysql_query("INSERT INTO `formadder` VALUES ('$name','$value1', > '$value2','$sum')"); > Print "Your information has been successfully added to the database."; > ?> > > > NOW , / here is the Form data submitter that doesn't Work Ive > checked and checked and check this damn Code with my form and nothing is > outta place, ("i dont think") > BUT will NOT Insert anything to the database even though i get no > errors at all and it says "Your information has been successfully added > to the database."; all the feilds are blank > > <? > $ordernumber = $_POST['ordernumber']; > $companyname = $_POST['companyname']; > $billingaddress = $_POST['billingaddress']; > $City = $_POST['City']; > $State2 = $_POST['State']; > $Zip = $_POST['Zip']; > $PhoneNumber= $_POST['PhoneNumber']; > $FaxNumber = $_POST['FaxNumber']; > $WebPage= $_POST['WebPage']; > $EmailAddress = $_POST['EmailAddress']; > $Notes = $_POST['Notes']; > $Customer= $_POST['Customer']; > $Startdate = $_POST['Startdate']; > $Completedate = $_POST['Completedate']; > $Biddate= $_POST['Biddate']; > $Bidamount = $_POST['Bidamount']; > $ElecProjCost = $_POST['ElecProjCost']; > $ElecProjBill = $_POST['ElecProjBill']; > $ElecRem = $_POST['ElecRem']; > $CtrlProjCost = $_POST['CtrlProjCost']; > $CtrlProjBill = $_POST['CtrlProjBill']; > $CtrlProjrem = $_POST['CtrlProjrem']; > $OthrProjCost = $_POST['OthrProjCost']; > $OthrProjBill = $_POST['OthrProjBill']; > $OthrProjrem = $_POST['OthrProjrem']; > $BondAm= $_POST['BondAm']; > $BondBill= $_POST['BondBill']; > $BondRem= $_POST['BondRem']; > mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die(mysql_error()); > mysql_select_db("workorder") or die(mysql_error()); > mysql_query("INSERT INTO `orders` VALUES (`$ordernumber` , > `$companyname` , `$billingaddress` , `$City` , `$State2` , `$Zip` , > `$PhoneNumber` , `$FaxNumber` , `$WebPage` , `$EmailAddress` , `$Notes` > , `$Customer` , `$Startdate` , `$Completedate` , `$Biddate` , > `$Bidamount` , `$ElecProjCost` , `$ElecProjBill` , `$ElecRem` , > `$CtrlProjCost` , `$CtrlProjBill` , `$CtrlProjrem` , `$OthrProjCost` , > `$OthrProjBill` , `$OthrProjrem`, `$BondAm` , `$BondBill` , > `$BondRem` )"); > > Print "Your information has been successfully added to the database."; > ?> -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
