Question

Code:

for($i = 1; $i <= $arr['var']; $i++) {

  if($i == $arr['var']):

    $insert .= '('.$n_id.', 12)';

  else:

    $insert .= '('.$n_id.', 12),';

  endif;

}

$uz = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `cars`
                   (n_id, auto_id)
                   VALUES
                   '$insert'") or die(mysql_error());

Why it gives me a SQL syntax error? What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You’re missing string concatentation in the INSERT statement:

$uz = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `cars`
                     (n_id, auto_id)
                   VALUES "
                    . $insert .") or die(mysql_error());

That’s assuming you aren’t also having an issue with the trailing comma for tuple support.
