I have this form to input data into a MySQL database. It's not giving me any errors, but also not inserting data. I have looked around the web, with no avail. I'm not sure if it's my code or maybe I've misconfigured my database. Here's all the code.

Try to change the mysql_query to show errors meaningfully:
mysql_query($sql, $sql_connection) or die(mysql_error() . "<br/>Query was: " . $sql);
If you have an error, it will stop execution and you will see both the error and the query that was attempted to be executed.


I'm not sure what version of PHP you are running, but mysql_query and other related commands have been deprecated since PHP-5.5.0. http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php
Try using the newer mysqli_query (you will need to update all of your sql commands like mysqli_connect and mysqli_close to match).

PHP: Insert Multiple rows to sql database

I am trying to insert multiple rows of data from my form into my sql database. I have been looking up arrays and been trying to apply what I have found but to no avail. I am beginner to programming never took any formal classes, been learning snipits of code as I need, so my fundamentals are nonexistent.
PlayerID is not auto-increment but an actually number provided by the user.
Here is my form code
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td align="center">Form Input Employees Data</td>

Here is my php code, The header is needed because I am using wordpress and running the code as a plugin.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: FSdota
Description: submit form data into sql database
Author: F. May
Version: 1.0
*/
//inserting data order
$con=mysqli_connect("XXXXXX","XXXXXXXX","XXXXXXXX","XXXXXXXX");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysqli_query($con,"XXXXXXXXXX");
$row_data = "($playerid,$firstname, $lastname, $position,$team,$Game)";
if (is_array($row_data));
{
foreach($_POST['playerid'] as $row=>$playerid) {
$playerid = mysqli_real_escape_string('playerid');
$firstname = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,($_POST['firstname'][$row]));
$lastname = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,($_POST['lastname'][$row]));
$position = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,($_POST['position'][$row]));
$team = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,($_POST['team'][$row]));
$game = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,($_POST['game'][$row]));
}
}
if (!empty($row_data)) {
$sql="INSERT INTO wp_es_fstest (PlayerID,FirstName,LastName,Position,Team,Game) VALUES".implode(',', $row_data);
$query = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
if (mysql_query($query))
echo 'Successful inserts: ' . mysql_affected_rows($con);
else
echo 'query failed';
}
?>

You are not sending multiple values for the same fields. Your name attributes are like name="playerid" so that means that every new entry with the same name will overwrite the previous one and only one gets sent to the server.
You should use arrays to group your fields:
<input type="text" name="playerid[SOME_ID]" size="20">
...
<input type="text" name="firstname[SOME_ID]" size="20">
...
// etc.
...
<input type="text" name="playerid[SOME_OTHER_ID]" size="20">
...
<input type="text" name="firstname[SOME_OTHER_ID]" size="20">
...
// etc.
For the SOME_ID, SOME_OTHER_ID, etc. values you could use a value from a database if it already exist or a simple counter, as long as the fields in a group use the same number / ID.
About the php-side, as mentioned by #Fred-ii- you should only use one sql API, in this case mysqli.
Also note that:
$playerid = mysqli_real_escape_string('playerid');
should be:
$playerid = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, 'playerid');
Personally I would also use a prepared statement with bound variables so that you can prepare your statement once and then run it several times with the different groups of values without having to worry about sql injection / escaping the values.
One additional remark:
This is going to fail:
$row_data = "($playerid,$firstname, $lastname, $position,$team,$Game)";
if (is_array($row_data));
{
You have just set your $row_data variable to be a string, probably with a bunch of undefined variables so checking one line after that whether it is an array is never going to work.

Alright so it has been a while since the last point, life got busy and I wanted to do a little more research.
I have modified my form.html to specify that they are arrays and created a new php file to go with it. here is the code below.

MySQL:(PHP) UPDATE Query issue

I have an UPDATE Query in MySQL
UPDATE users
SET fname='$fname',lname='$lname',username='$user',password='$pass',role='$role',status=$status
where id=$id
It works perfectly when I run it in Phpmyadmin by giving values manually but it gives me an error message when I use it in PHP Page.
Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1
The error is generated because I am doing echo mysql_error() I am getting values from the FORM like this;
$id=$_POST['id'];
$fname=$_POST['txt_fname'];
$lname=$_POST['txt_lname'];
$user=$_POST['txt_user'];
$pass=$_POST['txt_pass'];
$role=$_POST['txt_role'];
$status=$_POST['status'];
Frankly I sound like a stupid asking such a simple question, but I am stuck and need a bit of help. Thanks

I usually use php to send single information like 1 username, 1 name or something like that. Now i've those multiple lines that i don't know in wich form send to php and how to manage then the insert into the db. Anyone can help? this is my table.
<table border="1" bordercolor="#000" width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">

when i press submit the DB will be updated with every file checked in the table.

Let's say that in each table row you have three select or other input field.
Each row will look like this (simplified example):
<tr><td><input type="text" name="username[]"></td><td><select name="usertype[]"></td><td><input type="text" name="nickname[]"></td></tr>
The form field name ends with [] as you can see. This is to post all the values as an array and not overwrite them.
When you will post the form you will get that:
$username = $_POST['username'];
$usertype = $_POST['usertype'];
$nickname = $_POST['nickname'];
is an array (and the same for all the other inputs.
Next step is easy:
foreach($username as $key=>$value){
$current_username = $username[$key];
$current_usertype = $usertype[$key];
$current_nickname = $nickname[$key];
//now you insert the single row as usual;
}

Posting Form Into SQL Database

The very first field named Forte ID posts a value of 0 no matter what selection I choose. Here are my two files:
Index.php(Form)

Insert.php (PHP file to insert data from form into SQL Server Database):
$serverName = 'Server\SQLEXPRESS';
$connectionInfo = array('Database'=>'database', 'UID'=>'username', 'PWD'=>'password');
$connection = sqlsrv_connect($serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $connection === false )
{
echo "Connection could not be established.\n";
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
$tsql = "INSERT INTO logs(ForteID, disposition, appnumber, Finance_Num, num_payments, ach_cc, date, notes, Phone_Num) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)";
$parameters = array( $_POST[ForteID], $_POST[disposition], $_POST[appnumber], $_POST[Finance_Num], $_POST[num_payments], $_POST[ach_cc], $_POST[date], $_POST[notes], $_POST[Phone_Num]);
$stmt = sqlsrv_query($connection, $tsql, $parameters);
if( $stmt === false ){
echo "Statement could not be executed.\n";
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
} else {
echo "Rows affected: ".sqlsrv_rows_affected( $stmt )."\n";
}
No matter what option is selected in the index.php field Forte ID, it posts a value of 0. What is wrong. It was working before I added a field named Phone Number. But doesnt make sense why that would screw up the selections.
Let me know if I need to clarify anything and thanks for the help in advance!

You have to fields called ForteID
<select id="ForteID" name="ForteID">
<option value="0">Select Payment</option>
<option value="ach">Checking</option>
<option value="cc">Credit Card</option>
is the 2nd one
