wildteen88 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 From the screenshot you posted of MySQL Front it is showing that you have created a database called signup with a table called username, which contains 3 fields called id, username and password However in your code you're using the database realestate, mysql_select_db("realestate",$db) and adding the username/password to the Customer table. $q="insert into Customer Values('$usr','$pass')" You sure this is the correct database/table to use?

wildteen88 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Your query is invalid. The correct way to insert values into a mysql table would be INSERT INTO table_name VALUES ('value1', 'value2' etc). or INSERT INTO table_name SET field1='value1, field2='value2', etc So to insert the username/password into the signup table. You'd write the query as $q="INSERT INTO signup VALUES ('$usr', '$pass')"; To perform the query you'd pass the variable $p to mysql_query. mysql_query($q); if you query is not working, then run mysql_error to get the error message from the last executed query. mysql_query($q) or trigger_error("Error with query: $q<br />Error: " . mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waelkd Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 i did what u said and still nothing, emm any new idea's?? <?php $usr=$_POST["usrn"]; $pass=$_POST["pass"]; $db=mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); mysql_select_db("SignUp",$db); $q="INSERT INTO SignUp VALUES ('$usr', '$pass')"; mysql_query($q); mysql_close(); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 You have filled in your form first and submitted it? If it's still not inserting then change mysql_query($q); to mysql_query($q) or trigger_error("Error with query: $q<br />Error: " . mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR); Your code is correct and should be inserting something into your database. In MySQL Front make sure you refreshing the table view each time you add a new record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Your table name and database name are not `SignUp`, they're `signup`. Which leads to another question, why name the table the same as the database? That's going to get confusing . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
