PHP - Include A $ In A Mysql Php Insert Statement - Not Working
I am trying to insert a record into a mysql database which has a $ as part of the value of a field. But it seems that when the INSERT query is processed its actually looking for a variable with that name and not just inserting the raw text. Here is the insert query
$query = "INSERT mytable SET myfield='I would like to have this field contain this information with a $matches[1] showing in the field value as well'"; $matches[1] has no value. Its not a variable which is in this script. I am not trying to insert the value of it. I just want to insert the actual text characters $matches[1] How can I do that? Similar TutorialsI'm trying to create a INSERT query statement that makes use of the content of 'include' files. When I call up the include it simply echos it to the screen but I can't seem to capture the text string and actually make it function as part of the query. I've tried setting the include as a variable but again it only outputs to the screen. Help please! Here's a portion of the code... if (($_POST['sched_templates']) == "sched_TestingOnly.htm") { $query = include 'sched_TestingOnlyQuery1.htm'; } if (@mysql_query ($query)) { mysql_close(); // End adding Registration to the database header ('Location: redirectfile.htm'); exit(); } else { print "<p><b>Sorry, your entry could not be entered. } Hello, guys. I am experiencing some problems with an INSERT statement in this page. It simply won't write to the database! I added echo at the bottom to check my variables and they print the values just fine. I checked the database, table and datafield names and everything is correct, plus I don't have any issues with the other 25 tables of my database. I'm using XAMPP btw... Any help would be appreciated! Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type"> <title>Doctors</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" media="screen" /> </head> <body > <?php session_start(); $inc_code=$_SESSION['incident']; $doc_code=$_REQUEST['doctor_code']; $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } $mdb = "registry_db"; mysql_select_db($mdb, $con); mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'", $con); ?> <div id="myform"> <p> <h2>Doctor in charge</h2> </p> <?php $sql="INSERT INTO doctors_per_incident(Incident_code, doctor_code) VALUES ('$inc_code', '$doc_code')"; echo "1 record added"."

Im getting a "Warning: mysqli_stmt::bind_param() [mysqli-stmt.bind-param]: Number of elements in type definition string doesn't match number of bind variables" error when I try run this: Code: [Select] $date = date("Y-m-d"); $header = $_POST['header']; $summary = $_POST['summary']; $content = $_POST['content']; $query = "INSERT INTO articles (pubdate, title, summary, content) VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?)"; $stmt = $mysqli->stmt_init(); if ($stmt->prepare($query)){ $stmt->bind_param('i,s,s,s', $date, $header, $summary, $content); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->close(); } else { echo "ERROR: SQL statement failure!"; echo "<a href='addnews.php'> -> OK</a>"; } $mysqli->close(); It looks fine to me, just can't see whats wrong lol! I have a mysql insert statement generated with php that is not populating the table. I've echoed the statement and if I copy and paste into phpmyadmin it works fine. The result of the mysql_query function is true. I've emptied the table so there are no primary key conflicts. I've put the statement in a try catch and it does not display a exception. What else can I try? Here's the statement INSERT INTO `wp_term_relationships` (object_id, term_taxonomy_id, term_order) VALUES (1597,83,0) Works absolute fine if I copy and paste into phpmyadmin. Does not populated the table if run through mysql_query Hello everybody, I can't seem to figure out why this insert code isn't working. I'm trying to create a database of US zip codes. I created this user interface (form) with nothing but a submit button to execute the insert query <div id="right_content" class=""> <h3> Insert Zips </h3> <form action = "insertzip1.php" method = "post"> <input type = "submit" name = "submit" value = "submit"/> </form> </div> <!--closes right content--> Well here is the insert query which is supposed to accomplish the task.

Well when I hit the submit button, I just get redirected to a blank insertzip1.php page Can anyone show me what I'm not doing right here?

I am using xampp 1.7.7 usb edition for my php server and I am trying to include a php file that's different from where I have all my php files at. I have them in: \xampp\htdocs\xampp\RecipeSite. Is there a certain path I should use instead of <?php include('/xampp/splash.php'); ?> to allow for xampp to pick up my file? I appreciate your solutions guys. Hello all, I am a beginner at PHP and trying to form an IF statement, I'm running into a problem which I cannot seem to solve. Due to my lack of syntax knowledge I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. The combo variables are sent to this page through a form and defined as these variables at the top of the page. e.g $combo0 = $_POST["combo0"]; When the results are displayed any form field which was left blank or empty I want to show "N/A" if data is detected in being sent through the form I then want the "Else" statement to take affect. Currently when I run the below statement N/A is echoed despite if data was sent through the form fields or not.... if (empty($scrap)) { echo "<h3>Submitted Scrap Results</h3> No scrap parts were booked off"; } elseif (empty($combo0) || empty($combo1) || empty($combo2) || empty($combo3) || empty($combo4)) { echo "N/A"; } else { echo "<h3>Submitted Scrap Results</h3> <b>Reason:</b> " .$combo0." - ".$combo1." - ".$combo2." - ".$combo3." - ".$combo4." <br /> <b>on machine</b> " .$mid. " - <b>No. Scrap</b> " .$noscrap. ""; } Anyone any ideas? I am incorporating a very basic 'include' statement on a new site. One 'include' calls up menu.php and the second calls up article.php. Both of these files are located in the same file folder as all the pages for this site.
On the index.php page, everything works as expected and both files are showing like they are suppose to. However, the article.php file is not showing up on subsequent pages while the menu.php seems to work fine.
Now I am a complete moron when it comes to php so I have no clue what the problem is or how to fix it so I would really appreciate any help I can get to fix this.

My code for article 'include' is:

Code: [Select] <?$true_query = mssql_query("SELECT * FROM checkbox_datbase ORDER BY ID ASC"); while ($true_row = mssql_fetch_assoc($true_query)) { $eth_id = $true_row['ID']; $eth_name = $true_row['Value']; echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"eth_$eth_id\" value=\"1\" class=\"input\" id=\"Ethnic_01\"/>$eth_name <br />"; } ?>How do I put these into a database that I have settup where it needs to match up with a userid. I am trying to do this, and can get it to look correctly by echoing out the various parts, but I can't put while loops into a variable, right? So how would I get all of this into one line in my $sql variable? Code: [Select] echo "INSERT INTO new_database (UserId,"; $true_query = mssql_query("SELECT * FROM checkbox_datbase ORDER BY ID ASC"); while ($true_row = mssql_fetch_assoc($true_query)) { $eth_id = $true_row['ID']; $eth_eth_id = $_POST['eth_' . $eth_id .

@MacGuyver,
I will do the VALIDATIONS later. Remember, I was testing myself how much I can code without notes. What you see above was from my memory. Am still a beginner php student for 3yrs now, however! As for validation stuff will have to check notes and learn or relearn. Meaning, have to memorise the code before I add it here on current project. And so for now, ignore VALIDATIONS and let me know why it's not submitting data into db.
