jon4433 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to make an area where people can post stuff, status updates etc... I have a small layout done, but something has confused me. I'm trying to get it so when somebody is logged in, and posts something in the chat area, it displays: [Name] [Comment] I know how to read from the database, but for some reason, when I press the 'submit' button, the text in the 'comment' box isn't inserting into my 'comment' column in my database... But I want it so it inserts in the users column. Is this possible? <?php if($submit) { $comment = $_POST['comment']; $submit = $_POST['submit']; $connect = mysql_connect("****","****","****") or die("Could not connect to database."); mysql_select_db("****") or die ("Could not find database!"); $query("INSERT INTO login ('comment') VALUES('$comment')"); $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <form method="POST"> Comment: <input type="text" name="comment" /><br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /><br /> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
