Re: [PHP-DB] basic form entry
INSERT inserts new data to database. If you want to update data, use
UPDATE instead of INSERT.
Olavi Ivask
I have been racking my brains trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.
i
have created a basic form that calls requests user information...the form
then runs insert.php. No errors are returned, however, my database does
not
update. Any suggestions? thanks
The field names in the table are correct (case).
SUBMIT.HTML:
form action=insert.php method=post
First Name: input type=text name=firstbr
Last Name: input type=text name=lastbr
Phone: input type=text name=phonebr
Mobile: input type=text name=mobilebr
E-mail: input type=text name=emailbr
Web: input type=text name=webbr
input type=Submit value=click para enviar
/form
INSERT.PHP
? php
echohello
$username = guest;
$psswd = password;
$db = contacts;
$host = localhost;
$first_name = $_POST['first'];
$last = $_POST['last'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$mobile = $_POST['mobile'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$web = $_POST['web'];
mysql_connect($host,$username,$psswd) or die (errror in access db);
mysql_select_db($db);
mysql_query (INSERT INTO users (First,Last,Phone,Mobile,Email,Web) VALUES
('$first_name','$last','$phone,'$mobile','$email','$web') );
echo('$username','$last')
echo mysql_error(mysql_connect($host,$username,$psswd));

Re: [PHP-DB] basic form entry
mysql_query (INSERT INTO users (First,Last,Phone,Mobile,Email,Web) VALUES
('$first_name','$last','$phone,'$mobile','$email','$web') );
echo('$username','$last')
This doesn't work. You need to make a variable for the executed query, like,
$query = mysql_query(.);
After that, you get $query. But this is not the data you want. You can
`echo` $query if you want to. What you get there is called resource
id.
So, you need to extract the data using mysql_fetch_something.
Look up mysql_fetch_array or mysql_fetch_assoc for that infomation.
You might wanna recheck mysql_query to know what you are really doing.

Re: [PHP-DB] basic form entry
If you are still having issues with this, try echoing out your query to the
browser before sending the query to the database. Once you do that, you can
look at the query that will be sent to the database. If there is an error
there, you can fix it. If not, you can rule out your query string as the
source of the problem and begin checking things like the database, its
connection, the privileges you set for the db login used to perform the
insert, etc.
But troubleshoot your query string as I described first.

Re: [PHP-DB] basic form entry
echo('$username','$last')
???
what was your intention with this line?
assuming your table's field names are as set in your query then everyuthing is
OK. which brings me to the line above (which is quite oddly syntaxed!).
Please explain what you meant by this and I may be able to help you further.

Re: [PHP-DB] pdo::mysql and unbuffered queries
I tried using pdo (www.php.net/pdo) as it would be nice for my projects to be portable to another database systems, but quickly ran into problems. The lesser important: One time, there was a simple typo in one of my queries and I got an error that php is not able to save session variables at the given path - I'm not joking! I worked several hours to solve that session problem just to realize the query had a bracket to few. I already got other errors in my queries where I was given a correct error trace, this is quite confusing. Can't comment on that one but if you can prove it in a small test script, post a bug report on http://bugs.php.net The bigger important: I was not able to build nested queries. Post your code. I doubt that the guys that developed PDO would stop something like this. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
