I am trying to do something really simple here. All I want to do is to insert information in MySQL Here is the code below for the form.
<?php
$host=""; // Host name
$username=""; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name=""; // Database name
$tbl_name=""; // Table name
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// get value of id that sent from address bar
$dj=$_GET['dj'];
// Retrieve data from database
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE dj='$dj'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">

<?php
// close connection
mysql_close();
?>
Now what I want to be able to do is to insert the information in the database that I enter in this form. Well my issue is when I enter some data and click on submit, all i get is ERROR.
So lets take a look at my incert_ac.php code is below:
<?php
$host=""; // Host name
$username=""; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name=""; // Database name
$tbl_name=""; // Table name
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// insert data in mysql database
$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (name, email, email2, twitter, twitter2, avatar, facebook, facebook2, type, alias1, alias2, alias3, address, dj)
VALUES('{$_POST[name]}', '{$_POST[email]}', '{$_POST[email2]}', '{$_POST[twitter]}', '{$_POST[twitter2]}', '{$_POST[avatar]}', '{$_POST[facebook]}', '{$_POST[facebook2]}', '{$_POST[type]}', '{$_POST[alias1]}', '{$_POST[alias2]}', '{$_POST[alias3]}', '{$_POST[address]}', '{$_POST[dj]}')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// if successfully inserted
if($result){
echo "Successful";
echo "<BR>";
echo "<a href='list_records.php'>View result</a>";
echo "1 record added";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>
I would like to know if I am just having a syntax or even a spelling issue here! Any help would be appreciated.
