PHP - Sql Inserting Into A Table
Hi there reader(s)
I've been searching everywhere, and I'm not one to post my issue unless I've searched as hard as I could, I'm not new to PHP, but I am new to MySQL (so go easy on me) and I've got variables all set up, and I've successfully established connection to my Database and my Database's table, but now I cannot find a way to insert the data (variable) into a column of the table. Willing to provide more information! Similar TutorialsHow would you retrieve information from one table and enter that informatio to another and the same time get other details from form. Do you retrieve the data and use a form to post this and insert that to another table. Have I confused you??? im trying to write a script takes an xml files with tv show info, splits it into the show and the eppisode info and the place it into a table, i have got it to proccess all the info and print it out on a web page, but i cant, for the life of me, get it to insert said data into the table, it seems to be just ignoring the code and prints out the data as if nothing happens, no errors or anything. here is my code (abit messy but im only just starting and its my test.php) Code: [Select] <?php $tvdb_mirror = "http://www.thetvdb.com/api/"; $tvdb_time = "http://www.thetvdb.com/api/Updates.php?type=none"; $dbname = "mediadb"; $dbuser = "root"; $dbpass = ""; $dbserv = "127.0.0.1"; $rss = simplexml_load_file('sample.xml'); $showName = "Show Name = ".$rss->Series->SeriesName; print $showName; print "<br />Show Discription = ".$rss->Series->Overview; print "<br />"; mysql_connect('127.0.0.1', 'root', ''); @mysql_select_db('mediadb') or die("Unable to select database"); foreach ($rss->Episode as $item) { $seasonnum = $item->Combined_season; $EpisodeNumber = $item->EpisodeNumber; if($EpisodeNumber < 10){ $EpisodeNumber = "0".$EpisodeNumber; }; $EpisodeName = $item->EpisodeName; $Overview = $item->Overview; $airdate = $item->FirstAired; $tvdbid = $item ->id; $query = "INSERT INTO eppisodes VALUES('', '1', ".$EpisodeName.", ".$Overview.", ".$airdate.", '1', ".$tvdbid.", '-1', ".$seasonnum.", ".$EpisodeNumber.")"; mysql_query($query); print "<br />".$showName." - ".$seasonnum."x".$EpisodeNumber." - ".$EpisodeName."

Hi I'm using this code to insert multiple records. The code executes but nothing is entered into my database. This usually happens when there's a mismatch in data types.
How do I ensure that description goes in as text which in sql is wrapped in single quotes, but also make sure the other variables go in as numeric.
// an array items to insert $array = array( 'theid' => $theid, 'descr' => $descr, 'costperunit' => $costperunit, 'quantity' => $quantity, 'costperlot' => $costperlot ); // begin the sql statement $sql1 = "INSERT INTO descriptions (jobid, description, costperunit, quantity, costperlot) VALUES "; $it = new ArrayIterator( $array ); // a new caching iterator gives us access to hasNext() $cit = new CachingIterator( $it ); // loop over the array foreach ( $cit as $value ) { // add to query $sql1 .= "('".$cit->key()."','" .$cit->current()."')"; if( $cit->hasNext() ) { $sql1 .= ","; } } Hello, I'm having trouble inserting data into a MySQL table. The user has a form which is HEIGHT and WIDTH and NUMBER_OF_OBSERVATIONS. All these values are stored in the same table. NUMBER_OF_OBSERVATIONS does what it needs to and inserts its calculated results into the database, as does DATE_TIME. I've been trying for a couple of days to get this done, and I am having no luck in getting it sorted. Any help is greatly appreciated! Generator.php Code: [Select] $WIDTH = $_POST['WIDTH']; $HEIGHT = $_POST['HEIGHT']; $NUMBER_OF_OBSERVATIONS = $_POST['NUMBER_OF_OBSERVATIONS']; $db1 = new Number_Information(); $db1->openDB(); $OBSERVATION_ID = $db1->insert_Observation(); echo "<br /><br />Success. ID: <strong>$OBSERVATION_ID<strong>"; $db1->closeDB(); Number_Information.php Code: [Select] function insert_Observation() { //$Date_Now = datetime(); $sql = "INSERT INTO Observations (DATE_TIME, HEIGHT, WIDTH) VALUES (NOW(), '{$esc_HEIGHT}','{$esc_WIDTH}' )"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $this->conn); if (!$result) { die("SQL Insertion error: " . mysql_error()); } else { return mysql_insert_id($this->conn); } The table name is Observations Again - Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm sorry to be back so soon, but I'm up against another mystery. I'm using the code below to enter a bunch of css data from a spreadsheet into a mysql table. I think the data file is OK. The array created by the script checks out with print_r. (There are many more records than shown. I truncated it to save space.) The problem is that I get this error regarding my sql statement, not the data or anything else: Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'check, name, phone, email, entry_fee, print_fee, image_name, description, med...' at line 1 in /Users/studio/Sites/BannerProject/b-as/_test_site/csv_to_array.php:242 Stack trace: #0 /Users/studio/Sites/BannerProject/b-as/_test_site/csv_to_array.php(242): PDO->prepare('INSERT INTO tbl...') #1 {main} thrown in /Users/studio/Sites/BannerProject/b-as/_test_site/csv_to_array.php on line 242 I've typed it in a dozen times to make sure there are no errors and keep getting the same error. I tried running a test file and gradually increasing the number of placeholders and at some point I always end up getting the same error, I can delete the most recent addition and it works again. Then I can add another placeholder exactly as before and it works the second time. It feels like a ghost in the machine. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hi, I'm very new to these forums and php alike. I've been working on this bit of code for weeks now. I've written numerous versions and made endless revisions; trying pieces from many similiar source and well, it's still not quite working out for me. The form I've been trying to finish will have multiple rows. The user will input values specific to each row, but I'm trying to make it so that each row is synonymous with each other in regard to the database table. Like an order form, an inventory form, or a roster. I'd really like to make this code work out because I can think of numerous applications for it's use. I'm sure others could use it for even more. So, as you see; the html code represents the table that contains the form. Currently, I only have five of these rows in the form, but would like for anybody using the code to be able to add in code for as many rows in the table as needed. Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> </head> <body> <FORM action="post_multiple.php" method="POST"> <table width="80%" border="1"> <tr> <td>Vendor</td> <td>Item Description</td> <td>Quantity</td> <td>Price</td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name="vendor" id="vendor" > <option value="other1">other1</option> <option value="other2">other1</option> <option value="other3">other3</option> <option value="other4">other4</option> <option value="other5">other5</option> </select></td> <td><input name="description" type="text" id="description" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="quantity" type="text" id="quantity" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="price" type="text" id="price" size="50" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name="vendor" id="vendor"> <option value="other1">other1</option> <option value="other2">other1</option> <option value="other3">other3</option> <option value="other4">other4</option> <option value="other5">other5</option> </select></td> <td><input name="description" type="text" id="description" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="quantity" type="text" id="quantity" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="price" type="text" id="price" size="50" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name="vendor" id="vendor"> <option value="other1">other1</option> <option value="other2">other1</option> <option value="other3">other3</option> <option value="other4">other4</option> <option value="other5">other5</option> </select></td> <td><input name="description" type="text" id="description" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="quantity" type="text" id="quantity" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="price" type="text" id="price" size="50" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name="vendor" id="vendor"> <option value="other1">other1</option> <option value="other2">other1</option> <option value="other3">other3</option> <option value="other4">other4</option> <option value="other5">other5</option> </select></td> <td><input name="description" type="text" id="description" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="quantity" type="text" id="quantity" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="price" type="text" id="price" size="50" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name="vendor" id="vendor"> <option value="other1">other1</option> <option value="other2">other1</option> <option value="other3">other3</option> <option value="other4">other4</option> <option value="other5">other5</option> </select></td> <td><input name="description" type="text" id="description" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="quantity" type="text" id="quantity" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="price" type="text" id="price" size="50" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name="vendor" id="vendor"> <option value="other1">other1</option> <option value="other2">other1</option> <option value="other3">other3</option> <option value="other4">other4</option> <option value="other5">other5</option> </select></td> <td><input name="description" type="text" id="description" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="quantity" type="text" id="quantity" size="50" /></td> <td><input name="price" type="text" id="price" size="50" /></td> </tr> </table> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </FORM> </body> </html> In the php script I've tried using the count, loop, if, several others functions to try to get it to insert all the completed rows from the form into the table but just can't seem to get it to work out. Anyways, here's a representation of what i'd like to achieve. Not necessarily the code I've written trying to accomplish this, I'd have to upload a book if that were the case. <?php ini_set('display_errors','On'); error_reporting(E_ALL); $host="localhost"; // Host name $username="root"; // Mysql username $password="password"; // Mysql password $db_name="testing"; // Database name $tbl_name="test_multiple"; // Table name // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); //declarations $vendor = $_POST['vendor']; $description = $_POST['description']; $quantity = $_POST['quantity']; $price = $_POST['price']; // Check if button name "Submit" is active, do this $sql1="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (vendor, description, quantity, price) VALUES ('".$vendor."', '".$description."', '".$quantity."', '".$price."')"; $result1=mysql_query($sql1); mysql_close(); ?> If anybody can suggest where I need to go with that, that would be great. Like I said above, I've tried about everything I could find any reason to from forum threads I had found in google searches and whatnot. Also, if there is a good article, link or tutorial that would address this that anybody knows about that would be great. However, I'm not looking for a link to a product or plugin that will do this stuff for me. I'm trying to get halfway decent at php and would like to have working code for myself to build upon, modify, and learn from. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! Hello, me again.

With add_answer, I am not able to insert an answer. This has worked for the very first question, but all subsequent questions, I am unable to add answers. It keeps telling me ERROR. This is where the live forum is : http://www.thenewme.co.za/forum/main_forum.php Can it be an issue with the field that gets autmatically incremented? i have echo'd the data which get entered in when someone types in an answer, and everything is perfect! Can anyone help me? I want to take data from one table and insert it into another in the same database, the problem is the two tables have different values so it wouldn't be as simple as using an INSERT INTO script. From table 1 I want to extract a row ID as well as a field called systems. I then want to insert that into the second table which is structured, Id (null) Name (games) Value (the data given from Systems in the other) ID2 (the ID from the other table) Category (news) Any ideas how I can go about this? I have a form that is posting a value from a radio button as well as 16 Hidden values. The form action goes to file2- which is successfully conecting and processing but instead of inserting the correct values I'm just seeing a row of zeros. I don't know where to start looking!

I have a joined table which is:
$sql = "SELECT itemnum, image1, title, close, quantity, bidquantity, ". I need to loop through the table on buser and insert select data into two other tables. One of the tables is the control table which will only have one row per buser. The other table I guess you would call the data table of the two and may have more than one row depending. The catch is these will be linked together by an invoice number. Table A, the control table has a field for invoice number, table B does not. Of course once the data is inserted into the new tables they will be joined and from there on it should be easy. I just don't know now how to get there. I've thought about using an array to loop through, but I don't know enough about them to make any sense of this. Not even sure the group by may help me in doing this. Anyone have any ideas on this? I sure do need it and thanks in advance! <?php $servername = "xxx"; $username = "xxxx"; $password = "xxxx"; $dbname = "web216-admin-6d5"; // Create connection $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname); // Check connection if (!$conn) { die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } $class_id = $_POST['class_id']; // This value is from a dropdown $checkbox = $_POST['checkbox']; // This is a checkbox next to each record $user_id = $_POST['user_id']; // this is a hidden value output from the database (in a textbox) if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { for($i=0;$i<count($checkbox);$i++){ $query="INSERT INTO Class_List(user_id,class_id)VALUES('".$user_id[$i]."','".$class_id."')"; if (mysqli_query($conn, $query)) { echo "The selected records have been added successfully !"; echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"2;url=search_courses.php\"/>"; } else { echo "Error: " . $sql .

$class_id = $_POST['class_id']; // This value is from a dropdown on the top of the page basically, each row in the table has a checkbox If the checkbox is checked then it should insert the user_id field from the checked rows and the value from a drop down (class_id) at the top of a page into another table.

I've been banging my head on this for a while and I just can't seem to get it to work properly. I have a dropdown menu which selects information from table1 using a select statement (this table is called 'lid'). It selects the firstname, lastname and member id from this table and shows it in the dropdown menu. I'm glad I got that part working but the hard thing is inserting the data that the user selects into another table. So when you select the id member from this dropdown menu it only inserts a blank row into table2 (which is called 'teamlid'). Can you guys help me? How can I insert the id member into my table2? What am I doing wrong here? Thanks a million! This is my first post so if I'm doing anything wrong, let me know and I'll fix it asap!
