Inserting data in database.

Any idea why this code doesn't work when the same code (except for the query VALUES field names) works in another file.

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', $username, $password);
if (!$link){die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());}
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $link);
if (!$db_selected){die ('Can\'t use ' .$database .':'. mysql_error());}
$query = "INSERT INTO invoices VALUES('$Ref','$CoEmpName',".
"'$InvDate','$Branch','$BrAddr','$BrApt','$BrCity','$BrProv','$BrCtry',".
"'$BrZip','$AssDesc[0]','$AssPrice[0]')";
mysql_query($query, $link);
mysql_close();

I dont' get any errors and nothing gets added to the database.

Thanks,
Michael

 

<?php

$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username=""; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name="test"; // Database name
$tbl_name="test_mysql"; // Table name

// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

 // Insert data into mysql
$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (Ref, CoEmpName, InvDate, Branch, BrAddr, BrApt, BrCity, BrProv, BrCtry, BrZip, AssDesc, AssPrice) VALUES ('$Ref','$CoEmpName',".
"'$InvDate','$Branch','$BrAddr','$BrApt','$BrCity','$BrProv','$BrCtry',".
"'$BrZip','$AssDesc[0]','$AssPrice[0]')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

// if successfully insert data into database, displays message "Successful".
if($result)
{
echo "Successful";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}

// close connection
mysql_close();
?>

Code (markup):

untested, but i use to use that sort of way.
should work, if not make sure your table fields are the same and remember to

$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username=""; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name="test"; // Database name
$tbl_name="test_mysql"; // Table name

Code (markup):

fill out that!

 

Change:

$query = "INSERT INTO invoices VALUES('$Ref','$CoEmpName',"."'$InvDate','$Branch','$BrAddr','$BrApt','$BrCity','$BrProv','$BrCtry',"."'$BrZip','$AssDesc[0]','$AssPrice[0]')";
mysql_query($query, $link);

Code (markup):

To:

$query = "INSERT INTO invoices VALUES('$Ref','$CoEmpName','$InvDate','$Branch','$BrAddr','$BrApt','$BrCity','$BrProv','$BrCtry','$BrZip','$AssDesc[0]','$AssPrice[0]')";
mysql_query($query, $link) or die(mysql_error()); 

Code (markup):

Peace,

 

The code:

or die(mysql_error());

gave me the answer. It gave me an error message saying that the number of fields I was trying to insert did not match the number of fields in my database table.

Many thanks,
Michael

 

Drop The database and reload the query
