longstand · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 24th, 2007, 11:48

Below is a form with PHP code, can anyone tell me why the data from the form once filled is not being submitted into my database?

Created a form like this plenty of times, but when i make it larger it appears not to work! Its real basic PHP code, and i have probebly missed somthink being dozy!

Thanks!

Do you not need to list your column names in your Insert statement?

This is one of mine...

Code: Select all

   $query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO author_details (id, auth_name, website_url, auth_email, current_status, team_contact, final_response, cont_again, comments) VALUES ( '', '{$authname}', '{$authurl}', '{$authemail}', '{$currentstat}', '{$teamname}', '{$finalresponse}', '{$contactagain}', '{$comments}')") or die(mysql_error());

You may also want to add 'or die(mysql_error())' to see if it is an error that is causing it not to insert.

Hope that helps.

These variable names:

PHP: Select all


$Name=$_POST['first_name']; 
$Surname=$_POST['last_name']; 
$Address=$_POST['address'];
$City=$_POST['city'];
$Area=$_POST['area'];
$Email=$_POST['email'];
$Phone=$_POST['phone'];
$User_name=$_POST['user_name'];
$Password=$_POST['password'];
$Work_location=$_POST['work_location'];
$Agency_name=$_POST['agency_name'];
$Agency_number=$_POST['agency_number'];
$Skills=$_POST['skills'];
$About=$_POST['about_me'];
$Myspace_address=$_POST['myspace_address'];
$Hotmail_yahoo_address=$_POST['hotmail_yahoo_address'];
$Gender=$_POST['gender'];
$Age=$_POST['age'];
$Height_one=$_POST['height_one'];
$Height_two=$_POST['height_two'];
$Build=$_POST['build'];
$Eye_colour=$_POST['eye_colour'];
$Hair_colour=$_POST['hair_colour'];
$Desired_work=$_POST['desired_work'];

and these here:

PHP: Select all


mysql_query("INSERT INTO `customer` VALUES ('$first_name', '$last_name', '$address', '$city', '$area', '$email', '$phone', '$user_name', '$password', '$work_location', '$agency_name', '$agency_number', '$skills', '$about_me', '$myspace_address', '$hotmail_yahoo_address', '$gender', '$age', '$height_one', '$height_two', '$build', '$eye_colour', '$hair_colour','$desired_work')") ;

are different. Variable names are case-sensitive. And some of the variable are just completely different.... The query is working perfectly, it's inserting empty values into the database because the variables are all empty.....

Ha ha its the only way you learn i suppose,

Thanks for your help mate!

By the way i added you to me MSN, is the end of your address supposed to say .de or .com ?

Ok c010depunkk was right by fixing the varables all the data from the form has been posted into the database fine the only problem i am having now is the images are still not being sent to the destiantion directory "images"

And the name of the images is still not being posted into the databse with the rest of the form data!

So basically am back to wear i started, i had the same problem when writing the form in an array in me other post thread,

Please dont give up on me now, ave been trying to fix this problem for a week,

Can anyone help

Thanks

It looks like your overwriting the $target variable. Each time you use the assignment operator with $target it rewrites the data of that variable. Maybe try setting your directory, and then adding the filenames to it.

Code: Select all

//This is the directory where images will be saved 
$target = "images/"; 
$image1 = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['image_one']);
$image2 = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['image_two']);
$image3 = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['image_three']);
$image4 = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['image_four']);

You may also have the state the directory differently depending on where it resides in your document structure. I.E. ../images/ to move back one level in the document tree.

Make sense??
