Question

I have a php file that looks like this:

<?php
    include("config.php"); // put the *FULL* path to the file.

    $values = $_POST;

    foreach ($values as &$value) {
        $value = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
    }

    $sq1="INSERT INTO applicant (app_trn,app_file_id)

    VALUES
    ('$values[app_trn]','$values[app_file_id]')";

    ?>

and this Is my config.php file:

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

How ever when It is not working I cant seem to find the problem, Im a bit fresh to php and mysql so could you please oversea this and see if i have any errors

Answer 1

It seems you code doesn’t suppose to do anything, is it possible you forgot to send the query to mysql? if so… :

<?php
$result = mysql_query($sq1);
if (!$result) {
    die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

?>
