Re: What is wrong with this INSERT?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



that's because your are not running the query!!!

it has to be
$sql = "INSERT INTO tbl (WHEN, WHAT, WHO) VALUES
('$WHEN','$WHAT','$WHO')";

instead of
mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl (WHEN, WHAT, WHO) VALUES
('$WHEN','$WHAT','$WHO')";

Ave,

Does anyone know what I¹m doing wrong?

   <?php
   //Add Record Function
   if($_POST['Submit']) {
   $db = mysql_connect("localhost","usr","pwd");
   mysql_select_db("thedb",$db) or die("Critical Error :".mysql_error());
   $WHEN = date(mdyHi);
   $WHAT = $_POST['WHAT'];
   $WHO = $_POST['WHO'];
   echo "<SPAN CLASS='BlackText'>$WHEN, $WHAT, $WHO</SPAN><br>";

   mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl (WHEN, WHAT, WHO) VALUES
('$WHEN','$WHAT','$WHO')";
   $result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Fatal Error :".mysql_error());
   echo "<span class='SmallText'><EM><STRONG>~: message sent
:~</STRONG></EM></span><BR><BR>";
   }
   ?>

I have a form which is sending POST data. Everything is working fine to
this
statement: echo "<SPAN CLASS='BlackText'>$WHEN, $WHAT, $WHO</SPAN><br>";

It is displaying POST data appropriately. It¹s just not Adding Records to
the Database! It¹s not giving any Errors!! This is not working:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl (WHEN, WHAT, WHO) VALUES
('$WHEN','$WHAT','$WHO')";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Fatal Error :".mysql_error());
echo "<span class='SmallText'><EM><STRONG>~: message sent
:~</STRONG></EM></span><BR><BR>";

Yes ­ tablename is fine
Yes ­ Fieldnames are fine ­ Connection is fine!
I¹ve double checked all these things. I¹m not getting any errors ­ it¹s
just
not executing the INSERT for some reason!!!

HELP!
