This is my PHP code written for website. When I executed this, the query doesn't execute and doesn't show any error. I also checked data types of values that are to be inserted.
The database username and password and all credentials are correct. What could be the problem?
<?php
$password ='abcdef';
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="futureti_dsatya"; // Mysql username
$password="D2e3e4v1i"; // Mysql password
$db_name="futureti_db"; // Database name
$tbl_name="users"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
$con = mysqli_connect($host, $username, $password,$db_name);
if(!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: '. mysql_error());
}
else
{
$res = mysqli_query($con,"insert into users values(55555623,'saran1','satya_saran',$password)");
if($res){
print("i am ok");
}
else{
print("bad");
}
}
?>
Wrap $pass in quotes (55555623,'saran1','satya_saran','$pass') as shown below with an explanation about "$password", and change mysql_error()); to mysqli_error()); those two functions don't mix and that is why you did not get the proper error messages to show up.
As already stated, you're using $password twice; change one of the variables to something else.
What you're presently doing is overwriting your $password variable.
I am assuming you want to enter abcdef into your DB. If so, then do this instead:
<?php
$pass ='abcdef';
$host = "localhost"; // Host name
$username = "futureti_dsatya"; // Mysql username
$password = "D2e3e4v1i"; // Mysql password
$db_name = "futureti_db"; // Database name
$tbl_name = "users"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
$con = mysqli_connect($host, $username, $password,$db_name);
if ( !$con ) {
die('Could not connect: '. mysqli_error());
} else {
$res = mysqli_query($con, "insert into users values (55555623,'saran1','satya_saran','$pass' )");
if( $res ) {
print("i am ok");
} else {
print("bad");
}
}
?>
Also, inserting data into a table without telling it which columns to use is not a recommended method.
Use something to the effect of:
($con, "insert into users (column1, column2, column3, column4) values (55555623,'saran1','satya_saran','$pass' )
Sidenote: If the column for your first value isn't an (int) you will need to wrap that in quotes as well.
Also, if your first column is an AUTO_INCREMENT, you will need to remove the AUTO_INCREMENT from the column's type.
you dont get any error because you are making using mysql. not mysqli.
your code is wroking just wrap password . i guess the connection is not connecting.
replace this:
die('Could not connect: '. mysql_error());
to
die('Could not connect: '. mysqli_error()); //to see the error

I have a PHP script that collects form data and inserts some of that data into a MySQL database. I just noticed that some inserts/records were NOT, or never created in the database. I would like to write a retry routine that if the insert fails to retry 3 times and then error out to the user.
Just so you can see my code for the DB and the insert so you can see that I am NOT nuts...
mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
Here is my insert code:
$query = "INSERT INTO contacts VALUES ('','$name','$address','$city','$state','$zip','$phone','$email_address','$arrive','$depart','$room','$found','$promocode','$message','$datetimestamp','$ip')";
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();
I started out with an IF statement then into a loop but got lost.
#Jay:
So something like this:
$conn = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $dbname);
// check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
exit('Connect failed: '. mysqli_connect_error());
}
$query = "INSERT INTO contacts VALUES ('','$name','$address','$city','$state','$zip','$phone','$email_address','$arrive','$depart','$room','$found','$promocode','$message','$datetimestamp','$ip')";
// Performs the $query on the server to insert the values
if ($conn->query($query) === TRUE) {
//echo 'users entry saved successfully';
}
else {
echo 'Error: '. $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();
I am already checking for injection before the insert query
Your query is perfect, make sure that number of parameter you are passing in sql query is same as number of column in database table & parameter value in sql is same order of database table column order
When a web page on my website loads, it creates a list of content in < li > format, I'm trying to save this list to MySQL database after page loaded. Each < li > should be treated as one record; and only text should be saved in database. Example of < li > is:
<?php $keywords =
"<ul>
<li>Keyword_1</li>
<li>Keyword_2</li>
</ul>";
?>
My code is:
<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'username';
$dbpass = 'password';
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
if(! $conn )
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$sql = "INSERT INTO wp_keywords (keyword) VALUES ($keywords)";
mysql_select_db('database');
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
if(! $retval )
{
die('Could not enter data: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "Entered data successfully\n";
mysql_close($conn);
?>
Here:
wp_keywords is a table
keyword is a table field
$keywords is a variable carrying the values
Error occurring is:
Could not enter data: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '
Well your code is at least wrong in 2 places. (If this is the code you are using and not just a part of it.)
Your sql query will result in the following:
INSERT INTO table (column_name) VALUES
I suspect column_name is not a column name. And ($keywords) is empty so there are no values to put into the table.
I have a few string variables I am trying to insert them into my DB but I am having trouble because nothing is being inserted into the DB. I know the variables are populated. Since all variables are string I'm converting some of them to integers because those fields in the db table are type integer. I tried assigning the mysql_query to a variable and then check to return an error but it didn't display anything. I'm a bit new at PHP so I'm not sure what's wrong with my code below. I appreciate the help.
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass");
if (!$connect) { die("Could not connect: ". mysql_error()); }
mysql_select_db("dbname");
mysql_query($connect,"INSERT INTO table1 (id, AU, TI, JO, VL, ISS, PB, SN, UR, DO, SP, EP, PY) VALUES ('NULL', '".$authors."', '".$title."', '".$journal."', '".(int)$volume."', '".(int)$issue."', '".$publisher."', '".$serial."', '".$url."', '".$doi."', '".(int)$startpage."', '".(int)$endpage."', '".(int)$year."')");
mysql_close($connect);
Try to debug your code, adding some more useful checks.
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass");
if (!$link) {
die("Could not connect: ". mysql_error());
}
$dbSelected = mysql_select_db("dbname", $link);
if (!$dbSelected) {
die ("Can't select db: " . mysql_error());
}
$result = mysql_query("YOUR_QUERY", $link);
if (!$result) {
die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
}
ps: you may want to use mysqly::query, just because mysql_query is deprecated
ps2: you should google about SQL Injection, since your statement doesn't look secure (unless those values are escaped somewhere)
NOTE: I just noticed that you are using a wrong order for the parameters on mysql_query($query, $link). You have put $link as first parameter.
I have made a registration form that was previously working fine, however after some changes in my code I have error "Error: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1"
<?php
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$db_name= "login_stock";
$pass= "usbw";
$con = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("login_stock", $con);
$name=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file
$password=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file
$sql="INSERT INTO member_login (id,Name,Password, Allowance) VALUES (NULL,'$name','$password, 100000')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) {
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "The form data was successfully added to your database.";
mysql_close($con);
?>
id within the database is an auto incrementing int and a primary key. However the user is not required to enter their ID when they register.
What is considered the best way to fix this error!
Thanks in advanced!
Other than an erroneous ', you could just drop id from the column list:
INSERT INTO member_login (Name,Password, Allowance) VALUES ('$name','$password', 100000)
You should stop using mysql_ functions and use prepared statements to prevent against SQL injections.
INSERT INTO member_login (id,Name,Password, Allowance)
VALUES (NULL,'$name','$password, 100000');
...only has 3 values (the third being the string '$password, 100000'). What you mean is probably to quote the password only;
INSERT INTO member_login (id,Name,Password, Allowance)
VALUES (NULL,'$name','$password', 100000);
I have been able to manually insert values in my table using phpmyadmin, and even if i end up using the same php code i get from php my admin to call the query it STILL won't add the value to the table. here is the code:
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db('sc2broating1', $link);
$sql = "INSERT INTO `sc2broad_tesing1`.`Persons` (`re`) VALUES (\'hello11\')";
mysql_query($sql);
mysql_close($link);
?>
Don't escape value.
$sql = "INSERT INTO `sc2broad_tesing1`.`Persons` (`re`) VALUES ('hello11')";
I would also consider using bound parameters, as seen in mysqli::prepare, if Mysqli is an option.
