Hello Parham, i think you should change this: $sql = "INSERT INTO BOOK(bookname, authorsname, ISBN) VALUES ('$_POST[bookname]', '$_POST[authorsname]', $_POST[ISBN]')"; to this: $sql = "INSERT INTO BOOK(bookname, authorsname, ISBN) VALUES ('".$_POST[bookname]."', '".$_POST[authorsname]."', '".$_POST[ISBN]."')"; best regards Jochen Parham Doustdar schrieb:
Hello there, Here's a short PHP script a friend has written, and given to me to test. However, I am getting a MySQL error saying that the syntax error, on the line that contains mysql_connect(); is wrong, near '')' (note that it is not a PHP error, but a MySQL error.) Here's the code: [code] <?php $username = "root"; $password = "abc"; $con = mysql_connect("", $username, $password); mysql_select_db ("test", $con); $sql = "INSERT INTO BOOK(bookname, authorsname, ISBN) VALUES ('$_POST[bookname]', '$_POST[authorsname]', $_POST[ISBN]')"; if (!mysql_query($sql, $con)) { die( 'error: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "1 record added"; mysql_close($con) ?> [/code]
