Question

I am pretty new in php programming and i’m facing with one trouble here. Probably it will be simple for all of you, but ok..

When i try to insert one row into mysql table named “novica” first time it works ok, but after that i’m unable to add any new row’s. But when i delete this row, i can add one…but again, only one. I don’t know what cause this.

here is my little php:

<?php
    $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","password");
    if (!$con)
    {
        die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    mysql_select_db("sola", $con);
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO novica (naslov, vsebina, avtor, ustvarjeno) VALUES('$_POST[address]', '$_POST[content]', 'Klemen', NOW())");

    mysql_close($con);
?>

And here is mysql export sql code:

Your primary key is not set to auto increment. As such when you insert a new row, the id of zero is possibly assigned, but any subsequent insert fails as that id is already taken.

Either add the id into the insert statement or make the id_novica auto increment – http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/example-auto-increment.html

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `novica` (
  `id_novica` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `naslov` text COLLATE utf8mb4_bin NOT NULL,
  `vsebina` text COLLATE utf8mb4_bin NOT NULL,
  `avtor` text COLLATE utf8mb4_bin NOT NULL,
  `ustvarjeno` date NOT NULL,
  `posodobljeno` date DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id_novica`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_bin;
