Question

I am trying to capture data from my form and pump it into a database, but when I try to input data into a column, I only get the uid, and the rest of the columns are empty.

Here is some code:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO personal_information (uid, name, surname, email, cell) 
VALUES ('".$uid."', '".$name."', '".$surname."', '".$email."', '".$cell."' )")
or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("INSERT INTO consumer_related_info (uid) 
VALUES ('".$uid."')")
or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("INSERT INTO family_scenario (uid) 
VALUES ('".$uid."')")
or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("INSERT INTO lifestyle_activities (uid) 
VALUES ('".$uid."')")
or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("INSERT INTO occupational_information (uid) 
VALUES ('".$uid."')")
or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("INSERT INTO sport_activities (uid) 
VALUES ('".$uid."')")
or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("INSERT INTO vehicle_details (uid) 
VALUES ('".$uid."')")
or die(mysql_error());

What could I be doing wrong?

Answer 1

sending the data with php?
then read http://php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php
and http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php

Edit
With the given information its more guessing then debugging. But i would bet that register_globals is the problem here.

What to do? Simple use superglobals.

// assumed the form method is post
$name = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['name']));
// and so on

If this does not help: fill your form with dummy-values, dump your request-data (and post it here)

echo '<pre>'
     . print_r($_REQUEST, true)
     . '</pre>';
exit;
