Try this instead: mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table ( salutation, name, city } VALUES { \"".$_SESSION['salutation']."\", \"".$_SESSION['name']."\", \"".$_SESSION['city']."\" } -----Original Message----- From: Tristan.Pretty@risk.sungard.com [mailto:Tristan.Pretty@risk.sungard.com] Sent: 16 October 2003 13:33 To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Sessions and MySQL? Not sure if this is a MySQL Q. or a PHP one, but here goes... I'm just learning sessions... And I'm trying to add a session variable to a MySQL database. I've done this page that takes the results from a previous form... But I get this error: Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' On line 83 Which is the line that relates to the line: \"$_SESSION['salutation'];\", I've tried removing the ';' but it change nothing...? Can anyone see my error? ================= <? session_start(); header("Cache-control: private"); $_SESSION['salutation'] = $_POST['salutation']; //MySQL connection stuff mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table ( salutation, name, city } VALUES { \"$_SESSION['salutation'];\", \"$_SESSION['name'];\", \"$_SESSION['city'];\" } ?> //Rest of page... thanks etc... ================= ********************************************************************* The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
