Hello,
I am new to php so bear with me. I have a simple php file that tries to
insert data into a mySQL database table.
When I try to run it I get a "query was empty". I've googled this error
message and found many, many hits but I still can't figure out what's wrong
with my script.
Here's a snippet:
<?php
// Connect to db
$con=mysql_connect ("localhost", "<dbname>", "<password>") or die ('I cannot
connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
// Select db
mysql_select_db ("<table>");
echo(date("l dS \of F Y h:i:s A") . "<br />");
mysql_query("INSERT INTO person (FirstName, LastName, Age) VALUES('Jack',
'Bauer', '67')");
//Try to insert the record
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "1 record added";
// Close the connection
mysql_query($sql,$con);mysql_close($con);
?>
This seems like it should be a simple thing to do but I can NOT figure it
out.
Any help would be greatly appreciatetd.
