Question

I am building a custom ,module with a custom content type. I have defined the content type and created my form.

The “Title” is being put into the {node} table with the respective nid, however I need to enter the rest of my data into my custom table.

Its just not working 🙁

I am using hook_insert

This is the function

function svm_mail_insert($node) {
db_query("INSERT INTO {svm_mail_esp_acc} (vid, nid, api_name, esp_id, api_key) VALUES (%d, %d, '%s', %d, %s)", $node->vid, $node->nid, $node->account, $node->esp_refferer, $node->api_key);
}

Any Ideas what Im doing wrong and also how can I see the $node array after the form has been processed, but before the data is entered into the db to ensure that the $node is actually being populated?

Sorry to sound like a parser but…You have an error in your SQL syntax!

You’re putting a string value into the query without putting quotes around it…MySQL will have a fit with that. It’s the last value, for the api_key column, that’s missing the quotes:

function svm_mail_insert($node) {
  db_query("INSERT INTO {svm_mail_esp_acc} (vid, nid, api_name, esp_id, api_key) VALUES (%d, %d, '%s', %d, '%s')", $node->vid, $node->nid, $node->account, $node->esp_refferer, $node->api_key);
}
