Question

I am have created a web app that will use PHP to insert a row into an Oracle database. I am using Zend Framework to connect to the database. When I test it I dont get any errors but I dont see that added row in the table.

Here is my code:

$remote = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];   

// Connect with PDO
$db = Zend_Db::factory('PDO_OCI', 
array(
  'dbname' => $dbname,
  'username' => $dbuser,
  'password' => $dbpass
)
);

$req = "INSERT INTO " . $dbtable . " (id, url, adddate, addip) VALUES ('', '" . $safeurl . "', SYSDATE, '" . $remote . "')";
$res = $db->prepare($req);
$res->execute();

$safeurl is generated by user input, and it is sanitized.
id is autogenerated when you insert the row.

Please help me solve this. Thanks!

You have to commit. Each update/insert/delete begins a new transaction if it’s not started. So issue another COMMIT statement after inserting a record (or a bunch of records). Oracle doesn’t have autocommit mode.
