I have a MySQL table named as letter and wish to insert records through the HTML data input form. Code as follows:

But I was unable to add records through this form to the relevant table. I can not understand what I am going wrong. Can any one help me?... Pls...
Form's Attribute method's default value is get
You should specify it like this
<form id="contactform" method="post">
Now you can use $_POST to get data!

I would like to display error checking next to the input field. Currently, errors are displayed at the top of the page.
Maybe there is some way to check for input errors?
I could not find a similar example where html and php code are separated into different files
Or my code is completely wrong.

You can add the 'required' attribute to <input> elements, which get validated on form submission. E.g. <input type="date" name="date" required/> eliminating the necessity to write code for error output.
EDIT: here you can see how the warning is shown
Also, the validation
elseif ( $u_starttime > $u_endtime ){
echo "*Incorrect time";
}
is not required, since the user's choices already force starttime < endtime.
Cheers
Here is an example for setting date validation next to your date input fields.
in process.php:
` $errordate="";
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$u_date = filter_var($_POST["date"]);
if (empty($u_date)){
$errordate= 'Date is empty!';
}}
and in your index.php:
<input type="date" name="date"/> * <?php echo "<p style='color:red;'>".$errordate . "</p>"; ?>
I'm trying to use a php form saved on the artistRegister.php below and process it with the file at the bottom named processArtist.php .
I can't find the proper way to populate the fields in case there's an error and when I submit it to the database, I get an empty record on the database.
I'm populating a dropdown list on the navigation bar at header.php and using the same code to connect to the database, so it's not a database communication problem, since I'm able to create new empty records on the submit button press.
Tried several ways to make it work but would appreciate any help debugging the problem at hand.
Thank you advance.

I'm building a sort of blog system, but I'm having trouble with editing an existing 'post' in the system. It is collecting the data from the database, and it displays it. But when I click the update button, I get this error. I've looked for it, checked my code couple of times, but I just couldn't find anything. This is the error.
SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens
And this is my code.
<?php //include config
require_once('../../includes/config.php');
//if not logged in redirect to login page
if(!$user->is_logged_in()){ header('Location: login.php'); }

:patient_id is missing from the $stmt->execute() function. Please add it and try again.
In your update query you forgot about :patient_id to bind
And yes, remove $ before column names.
I tried to make a code which will add an entry to my MySQL table (called "rechnungen") via php. So I made some inputs in html and finaly I tried to insert the informations into my table (using the INSERT INTO... command). So this is what i made:

$username=$_SESSION['username'];
$password=$_SESSION['password'];
$dbname=$_SESSION['dbname'];
$servername=$_SESSION['hostname'];
/*conn dev*/
$conn = mysql_connect($servername, $username, $password);

I know it's a pretty long code, but i don't know where the problem could be. I'm getting this error:
errorYou have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''sdfas)' at line 2
please help me. I'm despairing.
','$ohneRezept_text)";
looks like the issue is here.
missing a quotation mark?
that's what the error is saying
also you don't need to wrap variables in quotations, well you can but its still a pain. if your input contains quotation marks it skips right out. Use addslashes()
Currently I have a form that makes use of fields and check boxes. The fields and checkboxes both update the database perfectly:
<?php
function renderForm($articletitle, $articleorganization, $articledate, $articleurl, $articletags )
{
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="stylized" class="myform">
<form id="form" name="form" action="" method="post">
. . .
. . .
if(count($articletags) > 0)
{
$articletags_string = implode(",", $articletags);
}
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$articletitle = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['articletitle']));
$articleorganization = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['articleorganization']));
$articledate = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['articledate']));
$articleurl = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['articleurl']));
$articletags = implode(',', $_POST['articletags']);
. . .
mysql_query("INSERT articles SET articletitle='$articletitle', articleorganization='$articleorganization', articledate='$articledate', articleurl='$articleurl', articletags='$articletags' ")
or die(mysql_error());
// once saved, redirect to success page
header("Location:addsuccess.html");
}
}
else
{
renderForm('','','','');
}
?>
Now, though, I'm wondering if I should have gone with a boolean checkbox instead.
The reason is that I've built an edit form as well and it follows the new entry form exactly except that values are already filled in via the MySQL DB.
So, I'm assuming that it would be considerably easier to use boolean, right?
So, instead of using an array, I should give the checkboxes different names, and on the edit.php page I can use something like:
<?php
function renderForm($id, $articletitle, $articleorganization, $articledate, $articleurl, $articletags)
{
?>

The problem with that though is that my checkboxes on the edit.php page still aren't showing the checked state.
You need to use checked="checked" in the same way as you used for value. See the solution bottom:
<input type="checkbox" <?php if(isset($_POST[articletags1])) echo 'checked="checked" ' ?>name="articletags1" value="checkbox" id="articletags_0" />
<input type="checkbox" <?php if(isset($_POST[articletags2])) echo 'checked="checked" ' ?>name="articletags2" value="checkbox 2" id="articletags_1" />
Hope this works. Updated the right code. Use ini_set('display_errors', 1); to get the error generated.
