MYSQL error while inserting data using php - php

Question

I am practicing php and sql. at a stage when I'm trying to enter a record into a table with 2 exiting records. but it doesn't add and show an 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 '=('Aqeela','Nasreen','Hakeem Chattah')' at line 1"
Why is it not entering a record in data base. Is there any syntax error?
$username="root";
$pass="";
$database="addressbook";
$server="127.0.0.1";
$con=mysql_connect($server,$username,$pass);
$db_found=mysql_select_db($database,$con);
if($db_found)
{
$sql_insert="INSERT INTO table_address_book(f_name,l_name,address) VALUES=('Aqeela','Nasreen','Hakeem Chattah')";
$result=mysql_query($sql_insert);
if(!$result){
print "sorry cannot proceed your request<br>".mysql_error();
}
else
{
// print "recorded entered successfuly<br>";
// print "now dATABASES AFTER EDITING ARE<BR><br>";
$new_sql="SELECT*FROM table_address_book";
$result_after_editing=mysql_query($new_sql);
while($db_field_edited=mysql_fetch_assoc($result_after_editing))
{
print $db_field_edited['ID']."<br>";
print $db_field_edited['f_name']."<br>";
print $db_field_edited['l_name']."<br>";
print $db_field_edited['address']."<br>";
print "<BR><BR><BR>";
}
mysql_close($con);
}
}
else
{
die("unable to connect database ".mysql_error());
}

Answer 1

The error clearly shows place where error in syntax occur.
Remove that =
INSERT INTO table_address_book(f_name,l_name,address) VALUES('Aqeela','Nasreen','Hakeem Chattah')"

Answer 2

I think there is an error in your INSERT INTO statment, you have written wrong VALUES part.
$sql_insert="INSERT INTO table_address_book(f_name,l_name,address) VALUES=('Aqeela','Nasreen','Hakeem Chattah')";
you need to remove "=" from your VALUES= part like this.
$sql_insert="INSERT INTO table_address_book(f_name,l_name,address) VALUES('Aqeela','Nasreen','Hakeem Chattah')";
please correct this line of code in your code and check it again.

Answer 3

Remove the = sign from VALUES=(...)

Answer 4

There's no '=' after VALUES, just:
VALUES (val1, val2, .., valN)
