PHP - Insertng Data From A Form Into A Mysql Database
I am having difficulty inserting the following codes values into my database. I know that the variables contain a value as I am displaying them on the output screen.
Code: [Select] $link = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass) or die('Unable to establish a DB connection'); mysql_select_db($db_database,$link); mysql_query("SET names UTF8"); $usr = $userid; $golfer = $_REQUEST['golfer']; $tourney = $_REQUEST['tournament']; $backup = $_REQUEST['backup']; date_default_timezone_set('US/Eastern'); $time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); $t_id=1; mysql_query("INSERT INTO weekly_picks (t_id, tournament, user, player, backup, timestamp) VALUES ('$t_id', '$tournament', '$usr', '$golfer', '$backup', '$time') or die('Error, insert query failed')"); echo $t_id; echo "<br />"; echo $tourney; echo "<br />"; echo $usr; echo "<br />"; echo $golfer; echo "<br />"; echo $backup; echo "<br />"; echo $time; echo "<br />"; echo $userdetail['email']; echo "<br />"; $to = $userdetail['email']; $subject = "Weekly Tournament Pick for: $tourney"; $message = "This email is to confirm your pick for $tourney has been received. Your pick is: $golfer. Your backup pick is: $backup The time it was submitted was $time Do not reply to this email, the mailbox does not exist. Contact me with any issues at xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.com"; $from = "noreply@chubstersgcc.com"; $headers = "From:" . $from; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); ?> <div> <p>This is to confirm that your pick has been submitted for the following tournament: <?php echo $tourney; ?>.

I want the form data to be 1) stored into a mysql database AND after storing said data, 2) email the same data to our sales department. 1) The form data DOES get stored into mysql database (except for the first two fields, for some weird reason) 2) I added a "mail" section to the php file that stores the data into the database, but it is not working correctly. I have stripped the email portion down to sending just one of the fields in the "message" to make it easier for troubleshooting I have included here, both the form section of the html file, and the formdata.php file that processes the data for your analysis. I am relatively new to php so there are going to be some issues with security, but I can work on those after I get the store & email process to work correctly. Please review my code and see if anyone can be of assistance. I looked through the forums and couldn't find another issue that was the same as mine. If I just overlooked, please tell me the thread post #.

I set a one <form> on every form field I have including the submit button. Now whenever I press the submit button it redirects to insertvalues.php which it should be doing. In insertvalues i told it to query the form data and post it into my database's table. Its not doing that and tells me that it has a database error which i set it to tell me if something goes wrong. Anyone can help me? BTW I can manually query in the information using sql with phpmyadmin. so can someone please review my code for me? thanks big help! You can see what is happening. Visit www.chronoserve.com The username and password are "admin" Hi everyone, First off thank you very kindly to anyone who can provide some enlightenment to this total php/mysql newb. I am creating my first database and while I have been able to connect to the database within my php script (or so I believe), the form data does not appear to be actually getting sent. I have development experience in other languages but this is completely new to me so if I've missed something that appears painfully obvious like a parse error of some sort, I do apologize. I am creating a website using Godaddy as the hosting account, and attempting to connect to the mysql database at the following URL (maybe this is where I'm going wrong): "pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com" Below is my very simple code: <?php //Verify successful connection to database. $connect = mysql_connect("pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com", "*********", "*********"); if(!$connect) {die("Could not connect!"); } //Initialize variables with form data. $firstname = $_POST['FirstName']; $lastname = $_POST['LastName']; $email = $_POST['Email']; $howfound = $_POST['HowFound']; //Post data to database, or return error. mysql_select_db("pnmailinglist", $connect); mysql_query("INSERT INTO mailinglist (First, Last, Email, How_Found) VALUES ($firstname,$lastname,$email,$howfound)"); mysql_close($connect); echo "Thank you for joining our mailing list! We will contact you soon with the dates and times of our upcoming events."; ?> Thank you again very much for any pointers or hints as to where I'm screwing up. I get no runtime errors, no syntax errors, and the echo message does display fine at the end -- just no data when I go to check my database! Best Regards, CL Hello Im quite confused at what filtering I should use on my data when pulling it from a MySQL database. I don't sanitize my data on input because I am using prepared statements with PHP's PDO Driver which means I don't need to use mysql_real_escape_string() at all. When I pull the data to be displayed i.e. in a HTML Table I use the below function to make it safe for HTML output. public static function htmlSafe($data) { return nl2br(htmlentities($data, ENT_QUOTES)); } However the rules change when Im using a HTML Form to edit the data, and I am unsure what I need to strip out. I.e. What would I need to do to make all data safe to insert into the following form input. <input id = "someInput" type = "text" value = "<?php echo $someVarThatNeedsFiltering ?>" /> Also, one more question, in my html attributes (Valid ones like class, name, id, style, _target) I use a mixture of double quotes(") and single quotes ('), for quoting my values. Which one should I use or which one is more valid, doubles, or singles? Hello to all, I have problem figuring out how to properly display data fetched from MySQL database in a HTML table. In the below example I am using two while loops, where the second one is nested inside first one, that check two different expressions fetching data from tables found in a MySQL database. The second expression compares the two tables IDs and after their match it displays the email of the account holder in each column in the HTML table. The main problem is that the 'email' row is displayed properly while its while expression is not nested and alone(meaning the other data is omitted or commented out), but either nested or neighbored to the first while loop, it is displayed horizontally and the other data ('validity', 'valid_from', 'valid_to') is not displayed.'
Can someone help me on this, I guess the problem lies in the while loop? <thead> <tr> <th data-column-id="id" data-type="numeric">ID</th> <th data-column-id="email">Subscriber's Email</th> <th data-column-id="validity">Validity</th> <th data-column-id="valid_from">Valid From</th> <th data-column-id="valid_to">Valid To</th> </tr> </thead> Here is part of the PHP code:
<?php while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { echo ' <tr> <td>'.$row["id"].'</td> '; while ($row1 = $stmt1->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { echo ' <td>'.$row1["email"].'</td> '; } if($row["validity"] == 1) { echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' month</td>'; }else{ echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' months</td>'; } echo ' <td>'.$row["valid_from"].'</td> <td>'.$row["valid_to"].'</td> </tr>'; } ?>
Thank you. hi guys, im new to this forum I'm new also to php, I need help from you guys: I want to display personal information from a certain person (the data is on the mysql database) using his name as a link: example: (index.php) names 1. Bill Gates 2. Mr. nice Guy i want to click Bill Gates (output.php) Name: Bill Gates Country:xxxx Age: xx etc. How can i make this or how to learn this? I need to display the last 30 days entries from database in PHP and here is the code that i am currently using, but its not working. While entering the data in database, the date format that i am using is this... Code: [Select] $subon = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); And to display the code i am using this query... Code: [Select] $start_date = date("F j, Y, g:i a", strtotime('-30 days')); $curr_date = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE status = 'approved' AND subon BETWEEN '$start_date' AND '$curr_date' ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 0, 5"; And then i am using the usual stuff to display the data but its not working. Somebody please help me... Thanks in advance. Ugh. Ive been asking so many questions, betcha already know my name. Hahah. Anyways, I know I already asked a question like this, but this is different. One of the values I am trying to insert into a database is simply not working. Here is the columnes in my mysql database: c_id commet story user date_added star Every value but 'commet' is getting inserted into database. NO error, no mysql errror.

But its not inserting data here is my database script. <?php $con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","sg"); ?> I'm a beginner to PHP and am stuck as to how I can fetch data from a MYSQL database and output that information in html to the website.
Currently I get the information from the database using normal php:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM truffleProducts");Then I assign each field from the database to a php variable in a while loop: while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $id = $row{'id'}; $name = $row{'name'}; $price = $row{'Price_per_kg'}; $season = $row{'Season'}; $country = $row{'Country'}; $image = $row{'image'}; $review = $row{'review'}; }Then I just print each variable in a table using simple html and php. My problem is that it only outputs the latest element or row from my database. I want to output the database within a HTML template so that it is professional and tidy, but i cant figure out how to do that. Any help? Edited by louiscb, 22 October 2014 - 07:58 AM. I used to be good at this but I changed servers and everything is different... Heres my code so far: Code: [Select] <?php $rated=$_REQUEST['rated']; echo $rated; $rating=$_REQUEST['rating']; echo $rating; // Make a MySQL Connection mysql_connect("localhost", "********", "********") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("*********") or die(mysql_error()); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM main WHERE username = '$rated'") or die(mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ); $votes = $db_field['$rating']; $newvotes = $votes + 1; echo $newvotes; mysql_query("UPDATE main SET $rating = '$newvotes' WHERE username = '$rated'"); ?> Whats going on here is the colomb that I want to update comes as a variable $rated (That works) and then the database selects the row to update with $username (That works) and gets the variable $newvotes by taking the original value of the data its about to update and add 1 to it (That works) Then it updates the field to $newvotes.... I don't know why the update won't go through... there are no errors.... im making a game and i need to show a users money but i dont know how help? Hi, Im getting this error with my script that im using to try and echo content for my website: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/a9855336/public_html/test.php on line 16 my php code is <?php $host="mysql12.000webhost.com"; // Host name $username="a9855336_root"; // Mysql username $password="n4th4n%"; // Mysql password $db_name="a9855336_mail"; // Database name // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect($host, $username, $password); mysql_select_db($db_name); $query = "SELECT title, content, FROM members where ID = 1"; $result = mysql_query($query); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) echo $row['title']; ?> html stuff <?php echo $row['content']; ?> If anyone can help me fix this problem or sugguest a dfiferent way to go about this it would be greatly appriciated.
