Question

i am trying to store user records into my table user , there is a strange problem happening right now which all data is stored but not the address record.

here is my form code

function RegisterUser($firstName,$LastName,$Gender,$Address,$phoneNumber,$mobileNumber,$facebookAccount,$userName,$password,$emailAddress) {

    $dob = $_POST['Year'] . '-' . $_POST['Month'] . '-' .$_POST['Day'];

$insertVisitor = "INSERT INTO user (userFirstName,userLastName,userDateOfBirth,userGender,userAddress,userPhoneNumber,userMobileNumber,userFacebookAccount,userUserName,userPassword,userEmailAddress) VALUES ('$FirstName','$LastName','$dob','$Gender','$Address','$phoneNumber','$mobileNumber','$facebookAccount','$userName','$password','$emailAddress')";

mysql_query("$insertVisitor") or die (mysql_error());



}

i made sure of the following

• the form field address is textarea and the same name is variable $Address on my action file.

• in mysql database , the record userAdddress is text type and has default 0 length.

what is it i did wrong ?

Answer 1

You are referring to $address in the SQL, while the parameter says $Address.

Variables are case-sensitive.

function RegisterUser($firstName,$LastName,$Gender,$Address, ...
                                                    ^
$insertVisitor = "INSERT INTO user .... ,'$address','$phoneNumber', .. )"
                                           ^

Quick note (possible mysql-injection aside): $insertVisitor is already a string, so you don’t have to quote it again:

mysql_query("$insertVisitor") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query($insertVisitor) or die(mysql_error()); //<--
