Question

I’m having a problem with an SQL Query from php

The Query is

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `pwn_users` (`name`,`email`,`password`) values ('$chosen_name','$chosen_mail','$chosen_pw')"))

When I print the Query text like this:

    print "INSERT INTO `pwn_users` (`name`,`email`,`password`) values ('$chosen_name','$chosen_mail','$chosen_pw')";

it will return my inputs like this:

INSERT INTO `pwn_users` (`name`,`email`,`password`) values ('Testuser','[e-mail]','testpass')

The data though is not inserted into the table. But when I copy that last statement directly into phpmyAdmin’s SQL Querybox it will insert correctly.

Answer 1

I don’t know if it’s a typo or not, but your first line of code has one abundant ) at the end and it’s missing a semi-colon.

If you use mysql_query() with only one parameter it uses “the last link opened by mysql_connect()”. Are you sure you have an open connection?

If you are sure you have an open connection you can always try calling mysql_error() after calling mysql_query() to get more information about possible errors.

EDIT; in response to the other answers; there is nothing wrong with your quotes, apostrophes or reversed apostrophes.
