PHP - Getting Error When Inserting Field With (')

I am trying to insert a new user into my database from my php code.

This is the error message that I am getting from the webpage:

Quote

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 'order, previousOrder) VALUES ('c_s@gmail.com','test','3','callulm','Smith','17' at line 1


This is the code that I am using:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");

if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }
  
mysql_select_db("deliverpizza", $con);



$sql="INSERT INTO customer(userName, password, privilege, firstName,  lastName, address, postCode, order, previousOrder)
VALUES
('$_POST[username]','$_POST[password]','$_POST[privilege]','$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','$_POST[address]','$_POST[postcode]','$_POST[order]','$_POST[previousOrder]')";

if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
echo "1 record added";

mysql_close($con)
?>

Im building a list of offers and adding them to a table in a database.

Pretty much all it is is HTML. Im inserting an ahref link that has a php echo in it. So it looks like this:

<div class="offerlinks"><a href="http://website.com/offer/blahblah&blah=blah&sid=<?php echo $_SESSION['uid'];?>">Offer name</a><br><b>Info:</b>&nbsp;Signup<br><b>Value</b>&nbsp;1 pt</div>

When I insert this (through my form) I get mysql error 1064 which is syntax error. I tested it without the php & it gives me 0, which worked fine.

I need the php code so I can append userid to the SID var.

Am I doing something wrong? Well I guess I obviously am so the real question is what am I doing wrong & how could I do it the right way?

Thanks guys

I have a form to search through apartments but if one field (rent) is not filled the php script cannot process the search. Is there a way that I can have the script just search the minimum rent or maximum rent if those fields are not filled in? In other words could I make it say if blank put in 0 for minimum rent?

The HTML Form:
Code: [Select]
<form method="post" action="searchapts.php">
    <table width="372" border="0" class="apttable">
      <tr>
    <td width="66" style="color: #000">Borough:</td>

      <option>Staten Island</option>

Hello Everyone,

I have a PHP code that reads data from db table. Then it converts it into JSON and show it. However if data table field has - or so then it gives json error.

For e.g.

if($num > 0){
			while($res = mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
				
				$NDate = $res['NDate'];				
				$Summary = substr($res['Summary'],0,256);				
				
				/* CREATE ARRAY FOR SHORT TERM NEWSLETTER */
				$newsletters[]=array('newsletter'=>array("RecID"=>$SNo,"Summary"=>$Summary));
				
			}
			/* JSON OUTPUT*/
			$json = array("AuthOK" => 'True',"newsletters"=>$newsletters);
	
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($json);

How to solve the issue ?

Regards,
GR

Hi there

I'm trying to insert audi files' records into mysql database this is how the records insertion looks like:

Code: [Select]
$fileName = $_FILES['uploaded']['name'];//name
$tmpName  = $_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'];//temp location
$fileSize = $_FILES['uploaded']['size'];//size of the file
$fileType = $_FILES['uploaded']['type'];//type of file
$error    = $_FILES['uploaded']['error'];//verifys errprs
$ext = substr($fileName, strrpos($fileName, '.') +1); //this will get the extention out of the file name e.g. .mp3



//check that a file is passed by and no errors
if(isset($fileName) && $error == 0 && $fileSize != 0){

//condition to accept only certain file types/extentions
if($ext == "mp3" || $ext == "wma" || $ext == "wav"){

//get file content
$fp      = fopen($tmpName, 'r');
$content = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
$content = addslashes($content);
fclose($fp);

if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
    $fileName = addslashes($fileName);
   
}


        //query to retrieve user's id
        $userid = mysql_query("select userID from user where username = '$username'");
//to get id by username
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($userid);
$userid = $row['userID'];

$query = "INSERT INTO tracks (trackName, userID, tag, price, file, fileName, fileSize, fileType)
    VALUES ('$tname','$userid','$tag','$price','$content','$fileName','$fileSize' , '$fileType)";
   
mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());

when i send it i get this error:  Unknown column 'application' in 'field list' i did set data type for the fileType field to varchar.  when i remove the fileType all together the record is inserted successfully  into database though. ?!! can anyone help please

This is my first real jump into PHP, I created a small script a few years ago but have not touched it since (or any other programming for that matter), so I'm not sure how to start this.

I need a script that I can run once a day through cron and take the date from one table/filed and insert it into a different table/field, converting the human readable date to a Unix date.

Table Name: Ads
Field: endtime_value (human readable date)

to

Table Name: Node
Field: auto_expire (Converted to Unix time)

Both use a field named "nid" as the key field, so the fields should match each nid field from one table to the next.  Following a tutorial I have been able to insert into a field certain data, but I don't know how to do it so the nid's match and how to convert the human readable date to Unix time.  Thanks in advance!.

Hi:
I'm going crazy trying to do the following:
I'm making a job registration process where the user registers on one php page to the website, must acknowlege and email receipt using an activate php page, then is directed to upload their C.V. (resume) based on the email address they enter in the active page output. I then run an upload page to store the resume in teh MySQL db based on the users email address in the same record.

If I isolate the process of the user registering to the db, it works perfectly.
If I isolate the file upload process into the db, it works perfect.
I simply cannot upload teh file to the existing record based on teh email form field matching the user_email field in the db.
With the processes together, teh user is activated, but teh file is not uploaded.

Maybe I've simply been at this too long today, but am compeled to get through it by end day.
If anyone can help sugest a better way or help me fix this, I will soo greatly appreciate it.

My code is as follows for the 2 pages.

---------activate.php-------
<?php
session_start();
include ('reg_dbc.php');
if (!isset($_GET['usr']) && !isset($_GET['code']) )
{
$msg = "ERROR: The code does not match..";
exit();
}
$rsCode = mysql_query("SELECT activation_code from subscribers where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error());
list($acode) = mysql_fetch_array($rsCode);
if ($_GET['code'] == $acode)
{
mysql_query("update subscribers set user_activated=1 where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error());
echo "<h3><center>Thank You! This is step 2 of 3. </h3>Your email is confirmed. Please upload your C.V. now to complete step 3.</center>";
} else
{ echo "ERROR: Incorrect activation code... not valid"; }

(Another quite newbie...)
I have already an online booking form. The Form works fine now and I would like to add on one more issue, but the code ignores what I want to check. I have 4 fields: arrival, departure, no. of persons and comments to check.

Scenario 1:

All field mentioned above are emtpty: Workes fine and message appears: "You have not provided any booking details".

Scenario 2:

If arrival (date_start) and departure (date_end) is entered, there should be at least an entry either in the field "comment", or in the field "pax". If not, there should be a message: "You have not provided sufficient booking details".

INSTEAD: The booking request is sent, which should not be the case.

The code is currently:

      # all fields empty : arrival, departure, pax and comments - error

if(empty($data_start) && empty($data_end) && empty($pax)&& empty($comment)){
    exit("You have not specified any booking details to submit to us.
    <br>Please use your browser to go back to the form.
    <br>If you experience problems with this Form, please e-mail us");
    exit;
}
      #If arrival  and departure date is entered, there should be at least an entry

either in the field "comment", or in the field "pax".
      
if(!isset($data_start) && !isset($data_end) && empty($pax) && empty($comment)){
    exit("You have not provided sufficient booking details.
    <br>Please use your browser to go back to the form.
    <br>If you experience problems with this Form, please e-mail us");
    exit;
}

The form can be tested at http://www.phuket-beachvillas.com/contact-own/contact-it.php

Can someone please check and tell me what's wrong with the code ? Thanks to anyone for any hint.

Code: [Select]
$new_array2=array_diff($my_array,$itemIds);

$updatedb = mysql_query("UPDATE content_type_ads SET field_expire_value = '666' WHERE $new_array2 = field_item_id_value");
"$new_array2" has only 12 digit numbers for each item in the array, and I want to match them to the "field_item_id_value" field in the table, updating the "field_expire_value" field for the record where they match.  I know I am close because the UPDATE code works before I add the WHERE statement (it of course adds '666' to EVERY field, but for a noobie it's a start!).

Hi,
I'm developing an app using flash AS2 as the front end via PHP and a mySQL database at the backend on my server.

what i'm looking to do is update/insert into a table called 'cards' and at the same time update/insert into another table called 'jingle'. There is a field called 'cardID' in jingle that should be the same as the ID number created in 'cards' thus creating a link between entries in the different tables that can be called up as i choose.

hope i've been clear i just wouldn't know where to start any help would be appreciated.

MySQL client version: 5.0.91
PHPmyAdmin Version information: 3.2.4


thanks in advance

How should it look if I want to make a query where a field value should be lower than another field?

Code: [Select]
....WHERE total_points<max_points");

I am a new developer, trying to figure out what causing a memory error. The code goes through registered appointments and depends on the service ID, I have to free a 45 minutes for another service to be booked. Now, once I book an appointment for any of the services that can have 45 minutes free spot, the website takes forever to load the hours but doesn't show them, instead I get this error

Hello all,   Appreciate if you folks could pls. help me understand (and more importantly resolve) this very weird error:     Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 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 'ASC, purchase_later_flag ASC, shopper1_buy_flag AS' at line 3' in /var/www/index.php:67 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/index.php(67): PDO->query('SELECT shoplist...') #1 {main} thrown in /var/www/index.php on line 67   Everything seems to work fine when/if I use the following SQL query (which can also be seen commented out in my code towards the end of this post) :  

$sql = "SELECT shoplist.*, store_master.store_name, item_master.item_name
           FROM shoplist, store_master, item_master
           WHERE     shoplist.store_id = store_master.store_id
                   AND shoplist.item_id = item_master.item_id";

  However, the moment I change my query to the following, which essentially just includes/adds the ORDER BY clause, I receive the error quoted above:

$sql = "SELECT shoplist.*, store_master.store_name, item_master.item_name 
		FROM shoplist, store_master, item_master 
		ORDER BY purchased_flag ASC, 
				purchase_later_flag ASC, 
				shopper1_buy_flag ASC, 
				shopper2_buy_flag ASC, 
				store_name ASC) 
		WHERE 	shoplist.store_id = store_master.store_id 
				AND shoplist.item_id = item_master.item_id";

In googling for this error I came across posts that suggested using "ORDER BY FIND_IN_SET()" and "ORDER BY FIELD()"...both of which I tried with no success.   Here's the portion of my code which seems to have a problem, and line # 67 is the 3rd from bottom (third last) statement in the code below:  

                    <?php
                        /*
                        $sql = "SELECT shoplist.*, store_master.store_name, item_master.item_name
                                FROM shoplist, store_master, item_master
                                WHERE     shoplist.store_id = store_master.store_id
                                        AND shoplist.item_id = item_master.item_id";
                        */
                    
                        $sql = "SELECT shoplist.*, store_master.store_name, item_master.item_name
                                FROM shoplist, store_master, item_master
                                ORDER BY FIND_IN_SET(purchased_flag ASC,
                                                 purchase_later_flag ASC,
                                                 shopper1_buy_flag ASC,
                                                 shopper2_buy_flag ASC,
                                                 store_name ASC)
                                WHERE     shoplist.store_id = store_master.store_id
                                        AND shoplist.item_id = item_master.item_id";
                        $result = $pdo->query($sql);                        
                        
                        // foreach ($pdo->query($sql) as $row) {
                        foreach ($result as $row) {
                            echo '<tr>';
                                print '<td><span class="filler-checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="IDnumber[]" value="' . $row["idnumber"] . '" /></span></td>';
