I am trying to make a product spec form add to a table called ProductSpecs on post, however despite the same synatx working fine for SELECT does not work for INSERT. The permissions to the MySQL account used allow full read/write, and I am able to insert into the database via console input using the same request.
Any ideas will be most appreicative.
$sql = " INSERT INTO ProductSpecs (SpecID, Code, ProductName, Barcode, ProductDescription, SKU, CYear, HeaderStyle, Certification, InnerQTY, OuterQTY, PackagingDescription, Comments) VALUES (NULL, '$Code', '$ProductName', '$Barcode', '$ProductDescription', '$SKU', '$CYear', '$HeaderStyle', '$Certification', '$InnerQTY', '$OuterQTY', '$PackagingDescription', '$Comments')";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
Thanks
You don't have to regard SpecID in your query. It should be auto increment not null value, so don't regard it and it will work fine.
You want to try and write your code with prepared statements and you can choose PDO or MySQLI. Here is an example how to do it with PDO. Also I would look at this link it might help you. http://prash.me/php-pdo-and-prepared-statements/ along with these videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvxid3DoLjE.
<?php
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_username = "root";
$db_pass = "test123";
$db_name = "test_db";
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host='.$db_host.';dbname='.$db_name,$db_username,$db_pass);
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING);
$stmt= $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO tests(name1, name2, name3, name4,name5,name6, name7, name8, name9, name10) Values (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
$stmt->bindParam(1, $_POST["name1"]);
$stmt->bindParam(2, $_POST["name2"]);
$stmt->bindParam(3, $_POST["name3"]);
$stmt->bindParam(4, $_POST["name4"]);
$stmt->bindParam(5, $_POST["name5"]);
$stmt->bindParam(6, $_POST["name6"]);
$stmt->bindParam(7, $_POST["name7"]);
$stmt->bindParam(8, $_POST["name8"]);
$stmt->bindParam(9, $_POST["name9"]);
$stmt->bindParam(10, $_POST["name10"]);
$stmt->execute();
?>
Try putting columns names inside ``
$sql = "INSERT INTO ProductSpecs (`SpecID`, `Code`, `ProductName`, `Barcode`, `ProductDescription`, `SKU`, `CYear`, `HeaderStyle`, `Certification`, `InnerQTY`, `OuterQTY`, `PackagingDescription`, `Comments`) VALUES (NULL, '$Code', '$ProductName', '$Barcode', '$ProductDescription', '$SKU', '$CYear', '$HeaderStyle', '$Certification', '$InnerQTY', '$OuterQTY', '$PackagingDescription', '$Comments');";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if fails echo last error message and comment.
the SepcID may have been set as not null which may cause the problem.
Try not referencing your ID column?
$sql = " INSERT INTO ProductSpecs (Code, ProductName, Barcode, ProductDescription, SKU, CYear, HeaderStyle, Certification, InnerQTY, OuterQTY, PackagingDescription, Comments) VALUES ('$Code', '$ProductName', '$Barcode', '$ProductDescription', '$SKU', '$CYear', '$HeaderStyle', '$Certification', '$InnerQTY', '$OuterQTY', '$PackagingDescription', '$Comments')";
$result = $conn->query($sql)

So I have 3 tables: donor, blood_type, user_account. I am trying to populate the donor table which contains user_id and blood_id, but there is no join between the blood_group and the user_account table so I tried this, but it didn't work. Can someone please tell what I am doing wrong? I am very new to php and databases.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root" , "");
if(!$conn) {
die("Cannot connect: ");
}
mysqli_select_db($conn,"blood_bank_project");
$sql = "INSERT INTO user_account(username, password) VALUES ('$_POST[user]', '$_POST[psw]');";
$sql .="INSERT INTO donor(first_name,last_name,email_add,gender, birthday, telephone, city, last_donation,user_id, blood_id)VALUES('$_POST[fname]', '$_POST[lname]', '$_POST[email]', '$_POST[gender]', '$_POST[Birthday]', '$_POST[Telephone]', '$_POST[city]', '$_POST[lastdonation]')";
$sql .="UPDATE donor SET blood_id = (SELECT blood_id from blood_type where blood_group= '$_POST[bloodgroup]');";
$sql .="UPDATE donor SET user_id = (SELECT user_id from user_account where username= '$_POST[user]')";
if(mysqli_multi_query($conn, $sql)){
echo'executed';
}
}
?>
You can use a SELECT clause to produce the values for an INSERT. In this case, you can use that to select the appropriate values from the other tables.
INSERT INTO donor (user_id, blood_id, first_name,last_name,email_add,gender, birthday, telephone, city, last_donation)
SELECT u.user_id, b.blood_id,
'$_POST[fname]', '$_POST[lname]', '$_POST[email]', '$_POST[gender]', '$_POST[Birthday]', '$_POST[Telephone]', '$_POST[city]', '$_POST[lastdonation]'
FROM user_accounts AS u
CROSS JOIN blood_type AS b
WHERE u.username = '$_POST[user]' AND b.blood_group= '$_POST[bloodgroup]'
I also strongly recommend you use prepared queries instead of substituting $_POST variables, as the latter subjects you to SQL-injection. I also recommend against using mysqli_multi_query -- it's rarely needed and only makes checking for success harder. If you insert into user_accounts using a separate query, you can then use mysqli_insert_id($conn) to get the user_id assigned when you inserted into user_accounts, instead of using the above JOIN. You can also use the MySQL built-in function LAST_INSERT_ID() to get it.
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($conn, "INSERT INTO user_account(username, password) VALUES (?, ?);") or die("Can't prepare user_account query: " . mysqli_error($conn));
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "ss", $_POST['user'], $_POST['psw']);
mysqli_execute($stmt);
$stmt2 = mysqli_prepare($conn, "
INSERT INTO donor (user_id, blood_id, first_name,last_name,email_add,gender, birthday, telephone, city, last_donation)
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(), b.blood_id, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?
FROM blood_type AS b
WHERE b.blood_group= ?") or die ("Can't prepare donor query: " . mysqli_error($conn));
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt2, "sssssssss", $_POST['fname'], $_POST['lname'], $_POST['email'], $_POST['gender'], $_POST['Birthday'], $_POST['Telephone'], $_POST['city'], $_POST['lastdonation'], $_POST['bloodgroup']);
mysqli_execute($stmt2);
theres a few things wrong with that code snippet:
Line 15: You've got a rogue 'w' at the start of the line before your $sql variable
All of your $_POST'ed parameters need to be in the format $_POST['parameter'] (Missing quotes, remember to escape your already quoted ones in places)
The where clause sub-select query in line 14 is selecting from a table that does not exist (blood_type)
I guess what your trying to achieve is a mapping between 'user_account' and 'donor' of which you may be better either storing a foreign key in the user account table of the 'donor_id', or a matrix/mapping table that links the two together.
The matrix/mapping table would hold the primary key date from both user_account and donor to create your matrix.
You can then get to either table information from the other knowing just one side of the information.
I'd also make sure your escaping your inbound variables in your queries to prevent any SQL Injection attacks (see here)
I am pretty new to SQL Transactions and tried to execute following statement which did unfortunately not work...
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO groups (group_name, group_desc, user_id_fk) VALUES ("'.$groupName.'","'.$groupDesc.'","'.$user_id.'");
INSERT INTO group_users (group_id_fk, user_id_fk) VALUES (LAST_INSERT_ID(), "'.$username.'");
COMMIT;
") or trigger_error($mysqli->error, E_USER_ERROR);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
Is this even possible what I am trying here or is it completely wrong?
I appreciate every response, thank you!
You are using prepare() wrong way. There is absolutely no point in using prepare() if you are adding variables directly in the query.
This is how your queries have to be executed:
$mysqli->query("BEGIN");
$sql = "INSERT INTO groups (group_name, group_desc, user_id_fk) VALUES (?,?,?)";
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param("ssi",$groupName,$groupDesc,$user_id);
$stmt->execute();
$sql = "INSERT INTO group_users (group_id_fk, user_id_fk) VALUES (LAST_INSERT_ID(), ?)";
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param("s",$username);
$stmt->execute();
$mysqli->query("COMMIT");
I am trying to insert data into a database after the user clicks on a link from file one.php. So file two.php contains the following code:
$retrieve = "SELECT * FROM catalog WHERE id = '$_GET[id]'";
$results = mysqli_query($cnx, $retrieve);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($results);
$count = mysqli_num_rows($results);
So the query above will get the information from the database using $_GET[id] as a reference.
After this is performed, I want to insert the information retrieved in a different table using this code:
$id = $row['id'];
$title = $row['title'];
$price = $row['price'];
$session = session_id();
if($count > 0) {
$insert = "INSERT INTO table2 (id, title, price, session_id)
VALUES('$id', '$title', '$price', '$session');";
}
The first query $retrieve is working but the second $insert is not. Do you have an idea why this is happening? PS: I know I will need to sanitize and use PDO and prepared statements, but I want to test this first and it's not working and I have no idea why. Thanks for your help
You're not executing the query:
$insert = "INSERT INTO table2 (id, title, price, session_id)
VALUES('$id', '$title', '$price', '$session');";
}
it needs to use mysqli_query() with the db connection just as you did for the SELECT and make sure you started the session using session_start(); seeing you're using sessions.
$insert = "INSERT INTO table2 (id, title, price, session_id)
VALUES('$id', '$title', '$price', '$session');";
}
$results_insert = mysqli_query($cnx, $insert);
basically.
Plus...
Your present code is open to SQL injection. Use mysqli with prepared statements, or PDO with prepared statements.
If that still doesn't work, then MySQL may be complaining about something, so you will need to escape your data and check for errors.
http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.error.php
Sidenote:
Use mysqli_affected_rows() to check if the INSERT was truly successful.
http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.affected-rows.php
Here's an example of your query in PDO if you'req planning to use PDO in future.
$sql = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO table2 (id, title, price, session_id) VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?");
$sql->bindParam(1, $id);
$sql->bindParam(2, $title);
$sql->bindParam(3, $price);
$sql->bindParam(4, $session_id);
$sql->execute();
That's how we are more safe.
I've been scratching my head over this code for a couple of hours....
Doesn't make sense to me why it doesn't work
$isCorrect =($question->correct_answer == $body->answer) ? 1:0;
// the values are all there.......
// echo $body->question . "\n"; //335
// echo $body->user . "\n"; //51324123
// echo $question->day . "\n"; //0
// echo $isCorrect . "\n"; //0
//but still the below part fails.
$db = getConnection();
$sql = "INSERT INTO `answers` (`id`, `question_id`, `user`, `day`, `is_correct`) VALUES (NULL, ':question', ':user', ':day', :is_correct)";
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindParam(":question_id", $body->question);
$stmt->bindParam(":user", $body->user);
$stmt->bindParam(":day", $question->day, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->bindParam(":is_correct", $isCorrect, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->execute();
gives this error:
SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens
I'm counting 4 tokens... what am I missing? Obviously I'm doing something wrong.
Try it like this:
$sql = "INSERT INTO `answers` (`id`, `question_id`, `user`, `day`, `is_correct`)
VALUES
--The :variable shouldn't be surrounded by ''--
(NULL, :question, :user, :day, :is_correct)";
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
//The values used in $sql should be the same here, so not :question_id but :question
$stmt->bindParam(":question", $body->question);
$stmt->bindParam(":user", $body->user);
$stmt->bindParam(":day", $question->day, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->bindParam(":is_correct", $isCorrect, PDO::PARAM_INT);
just don't use bindParam with PDO
as well as named parameters. it will save you a ton of headaches
$db = getConnection();
$sql = "INSERT INTO `answers` VALUES (NULL, ?,?,?,?)";
$data = [$body->question,$body->user,$question->day,$isCorrect];
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql)->execute($data);
change :
$stmt->bindParam(":question_id", $body->question);
to:
$stmt->bindParam(":question", $body->question);
You have use in query :question but binding with wrong key(:question_id).
$stmt->bindParam(":question_id", $body->question);
should be
$stmt->bindParam(":question", $body->question);
This is just a little typo.
So i recently starting learning PHP, and now im trying to get code into my database.
The data is input from the user through a form.
here is my code:
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$blogtitle = $_POST['blogTitle'];
$blogcategory = $_POST['blogCategory'];
$blogcontent = $_POST['blogContent'];
// aanmaak date van de blog
$blogdate = date("d/m.Y");
// Checkt of alle velden zijn ingevuld
if (!empty($blogtitle) && !empty($blogcategory) && !empty($blogcontent)) {
//echo "je zit nu bij de query";
$addBlogQuery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO blog (blog_ID, blog_title, blog_category, blog_content, blog_date)
VALUES (NULL, $blogtitle, $blogcategory, $blogcontent, blogdate )");
if ($addBlogQuery) {
echo "blog added successfully";
}
else {
echo "something went wrong";
}
}
else {
$this->notFilledErrorAction();
}
}
For some reason it's not adding any data my database. My connection to my database is working properly, and i dont see a mistake in my query.
Does someone see an error in this code? or could help me figure out the problem?
You have a syntax error in your INSERT statement:
$addBlogQuery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO blog (blog_ID, blog_title, blog_category, blog_content, blog_date)
VALUES (NULL, $blogtitle, $blogcategory, $blogcontent, blogdate )");
You are missing a $ here------------------------^
You also need to wrap your variables in ' single quotes:
$addBlogQuery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO blog (blog_ID, blog_title, blog_category, blog_content, blog_date)
VALUES (NULL, '$blogtitle', '$blogcategory', '$blogcontent', '$blogdate' )");
Furthermore, the mysql_* API is now deprecated. Please read the big red box here. You should start using MySQLi or PDO now whilst it is still relatively easy to change.
You need to enclose strings ,date and DATETIME values with single quotes (').
And you have not enclosed in your SQL.
Please modify your SQL as:
$addBlogQuery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO blog (blog_ID, blog_title, blog_category, blog_content, blog_date)
VALUES (NULL, '$blogtitle', '$blogcategory', '$blogcontent', 'blogdate' )");
Mysql support only following date format:
YYYY-mm-dd
but your code has different format
$blogdate = date("d/m.Y");
Try the following:
$blogdate = date("Y-m-d");
And you have passed ID null, i think you have selected ID as primary key. primary key can not be null. if your ID field support auto-increment you don't need to pass anything.
$addBlogQuery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO blog (blog_title, blog_category, blog_content, blog_date)
VALUES ($blogtitle, $blogcategory, $blogcontent, blogdate )");
Hopefully it will work.
See the changes below and try again:
$blogdate = date("Y-m-d");
$addBlogQuery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `blog` (`blog_title`, `blog_category`, `blog_content`, `blog_date`)
VALUES ('$blogtitle', '$blogcategory', '$blogcontent', '$blogdate' )");
Use more secure way , Use PDO - Stop using MYSQL_* it's deprecated
PDO escapes itself, you doesn't need to use mysql_real_escape_string
<?php
$user="root";
$pass="";
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=hostname;dbname=databasename', $user, $pass); //establish new connection
$sql ="INSERT INTO blog (blog_ID, blog_title, blog_category, blog_content, blog_date)
VALUES (NULL, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
try{
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute(array($a, $b, $c, $d));
if($stmt->rowCount()>0){
//done
}
}catch(PDOException $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
?>
Before inserting into database you should sanitize you data to prevent SQL injection and XSS. Use this function:
function sanitize($data){
$data= htmlentities(strip_tags(trim($data)));
return $data;
}
Try following query there is no need to use php date function mysql has native support to date and time functions
INSERT INTO blog
(`title`, `category`, `content`, `date`, `id`)
VALUES
('Title here', 'category here','blog content here', NOW(), 1);
here is SQL test SQL Fiddle
$addBlogQuery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO blog (blog_title, blog_category, blog_content, blog_date) VALUES ($blogtitle, $blogcategory, $blogcontent, blogdate )");
It seems your mistake is insert the value of blog_id by NULL. blog_id column is the primary key. If you insert blog_id by NULL, then the data can't push to your database. Since blog_id is primary key, you don't need to insert blog_id manually. It will automatically inserted.
