Hi folks! I'm new to PHP/mysql. I created a db with one table (using PhpMyAdmin). The table is called 'addressbook' and the base 'mabase'. I can very well read the table and display it very neatly using the below code, but I CAN'T write new entries using the code in the second page (end of mail) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PAGE THAT "WORKS" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <html> <head> <title>Carnet d'adresses</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; letter-spacing: 0.1em; background:#efefef} .NomPrenom { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-weight:bold; letter-spacing: 0.1em; } hr {height:1px; color:#BBBBBB} --> </style> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <? $host = "localhost"; $user = ""; $password = ""; $database = "mabase"; //========================================================================== ===== // Display addressbook table content //========================================================================== ===== mysql_connect($host,$user,$password) or die("Impossible de se connecter à la base de données ".$database); $result = mysql_db_query($database,"select * from addressbook"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { if($row->prenom != "") { echo "<span class=\"NomPrenom\">".$row->prenom."</span>"; } if($row->nom != "") { echo "<span class=\"NomPrenom\"> "; echo $row->nom."</span>"; } if($row->teldomicile != "") { echo "<br>\n"; echo "<img src=\"/interface/icons/domicile_phone.gif\" align=\"absbottom\"> \n"; echo $row->teldomicile; } if($row->telmobile != "") { echo "<br>\n"; echo "<img src=\"/interface/icons/mobile.gif\" align=\"absbottom\"> \n"; echo $row->telmobile; } if($row->telbureau != "") { echo "<br>\n"; echo "<img src=\"/interface/icons/bureau.gif\" align=\"absbottom\"> \n"; echo $row->telbureau; } if($row->email != "") { echo "<br>\n"; echo "<img src=\"/interface/icons/email.gif\" align=\"absbottom\"> \n"; echo "<a href=\"mailto:".$row->email."\">".$row->email."</a>"; } if(($row->rue != "") || ($row->codepostal != "") || ($row->ville != "") || ($row->pays != "")) { echo "<br>\n"; echo "<img src=\"/interface/icons/adresse.gif\" align=\"absbottom\"> \n"; } if($row->rue != "") { echo $row->rue; echo " - "; } if($row->codepostal != "") { echo $row->codepostal; echo " "; } if($row->codepostal != "") { echo $row->ville; echo ", \n"; } if($row->pays != "") { echo $row->pays; } echo "<br><br><br><hr><br><br><br>\n"; } mysql_free_result($result); mysql_close(); // END Display addressbook table content ?> </body> </html> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PAGE THAT "WORKS" - END - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PAGE THAT "DOESN'T WORK" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <? $host = "localhost"; $user = ""; $password = ""; $database = "mabase"; mysql_connect($host,$user,$password); $nom = "Dupont"; $prenom = "Jean"; $ok = mysql_db_query($database, "insert into addressbook (nom,prenom) values ('$nom','$prenom')"); ?> </body> </html> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PAGE THAT "DOESN'T WORK" - END - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After that when I look at my page where I display the addressbook table, I see nothing new, neither does it appear anywhere in PhpMyAdmin. I don't get it! But, again, I'm a newbie. Is there a problem with the fact that I provide an empty user/password? I don't recall having given any user name and password durng MySQL installation. If there is one, where can I find it? Or do I have to re-install??? Hope it's just a newbie syntax mistake though... Thanks for reading anyway!
