Question

I am trying to add another varable where on doesn’t exist. It is a posting app where you enter 2 text boxes and it is posted. It originally came with one variable with for the body. i wanted to add body1 to it as well. The functions.php deifines the first one upon adding the second, I got this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/a1893806/public_html/functions.php on line 20 Here is the modified code:

<?php

function add_post($userid,$body,$body1){
    $sql = "insert into posts (user_id, body, body1, stamp) 
            values ($userid, '". mysql_real_escape_string($body,$body1). "',now())";

    $result = mysql_query($sql);
}
function show_posts($userid){
    $posts = array();

    $sql = "select body, stamp from posts
     where user_id = '$userid' order by stamp desc";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);

    while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
        $posts[] = array(   'stamp' => $data->stamp, 
                            'userid' => $userid, 
                            'body' => $data->body
                            'body1' => $data->body1
            );
    }
    return $posts;

}
?>

It originally doesn’t have: 'body1' => $data->body1 or any of the body1 variables

I’m not sure why I can’t have the 2 textboxes in the post.

Answer 1

You have 2 tables inside each other:

<table class="imagetable">
<table align="center" border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='5' width='300'>

This is not allowed.

function add_post($userid,$body,$body1){
    $sql = "insert into posts (user_id, body, body1, stamp) 
        values ($userid, '". mysql_real_escape_string($body,$body1). "',now())";

    $result = mysql_query($sql);
}

Must be

function add_post($userid,$body,$body1){
    $sql = "
       INSERT into posts (user_id, body, body1, stamp) 
        VALUE (".$userid.", '". mysql_real_escape_string($body) ."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($body1). "', NOW())";

    $result = mysql_query($sql);
}

And I personally prefer this for readability:

    $sql = "
       INSERT into posts
          SET user_id = ".$userid."
            , body = '". mysql_real_escape_string($body) ."'
            , body1 = '".mysql_real_escape_string($body1). "'
            , stamp = NOW()

Something more trivial; body1 doesn’t make much sense.. 1; it is actually number 2. 2; Why would you have 2 body’s? Makes no sense? Maybe body should be intro and body1: body? (I know it’s not too important, but makes it easier to understand)
