Insert query problem?
« on: July 03, 2009, 12:33:54 AM »
Code: [Select]
$query =  "INSERT INTO Test VALUES (5," . $INFO1 . "," $INFO2 . "," . $INFO3 . "," . $INFO4 . "," . $INFO5)
Any idea why i get this error when adding this query? (the error comes after the connection has been made so the file does connect to the database, there must be though a problem with how its formatted?

Stilll get a error.

Heres the full code.
Code: [Select]
$mysql = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "")
$query =  mysql_query("INSERT INTO Test VALUES (5," . $INFO1 . "," $INFO2 . "," . $INFO3 . "," . $INFO4 . "," . $INFO5 . ")");

The error comes up on the $query line.

If any of the $INFO values you're inserting into the table are strings, then they need to be quoted

How come it works with this though?

Code: [Select]
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `Test`.`user` (`id`, `name`, `password`, `ip`, `date`, `registered`) VALUES (NULL,                   'test', 'test', 'test', 'test', 'test 'test', 'test')", $c);
But if i adjust this even a little bit it doesn't work. why does this above example work yet this doesn't?

mysql_query("INSERT INTO" . $webdbname . "`user` (`id`, `name`, `password`, `ip`, `date`, `registered`) VALUES (NULL," .                               $sname . "," . $spassword . "," . $sip . "," . $date)", $c);[/code]

You're not putting quotes around the value strings;

Code: [Select]
<?php
$mysql = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "")
$query =  mysql_query("INSERT INTO Test VALUES (5, '$INFO1', '$INFO2', '$INFO3', '$INFO4', '$INFO5')");

I am not getting a error any more, it just doesn't send the data to the database when $strings are inserted. Which is why i asked if you could supply a full demonstration doing it.

you are missing a semicolon here
$mysql = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "")

That fixes it but then if i add quotes on
'date("Y:m:d")'
it doesn't work, ideas?

It does that because you don't excape the double quotes. Replace

'date("Y:m:d")'

With

'".date("Y:m:d")."'
