Question

Inserting data into database with pdo prepared statment, doesnt work for me:

I use this function:

    public function get_number_of_matches(){
     $stmt = $this->pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO `words`( `word_name`, `word_count`, `search_id`) VALUES (:word, :count,:searchID)");
       $stmt->bindParam(':word', $word);
       $stmt->bindParam(':count', $count);
       $stmt->bindParam(':searchID', $search_id);
   for($i=0;$i<count($this->words);$i++){
     if(preg_match_all('/'.$this->words[$i].'/i', $this->text,$matches)){
       $count=count($matches[0]);
       $word=$this->words[$i];
        $search_id=1;
       $stmt->execute();
         break;
    }   

   }
    return 0;
}

Basically, I try to loop over the values and put them into the database.. no error is given.. nothing goes into the database ..why?

This is how I connect to the database:

 class DBConnection {
    public static $connect;

    public static function connect(){

        if(!isset(self::$connect)){
            try{
              self::$connect=new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=tweeter', 'root', '');
            }catch(Exception $ex){
               echo $ex->getMessage();   
            }
        }
        return self::$connect;
    }
}

UPDATE
Also..see here:

I do the same thing with a different query..but when I try to put object properties inside a variable I get an error:

$tweet= $tweet->tweet ;
$user=$tweet->tweeter_name;
$link= $tweet->link;

Those variables go into a query:

       $pdo=  DBConnection::connect();
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO `tweets`( `tweet`, `tweeter_name`, `link`, `date`, `search_id`) VALUES (:tweet, :tweeter_name, :link, :date, :search_id)");
      $stmt->bindParam(':tweet', $tweet);
       $stmt->bindParam(':tweeter_name', $user);
       $stmt->bindParam(':link', $link);
       $stmt->bindParam(':date', $date);
       $stmt->bindParam(':search_id', $search_id);

I get errors like this:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\Twitter\demo.php on line 36

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\Twitter\demo.php on line 37

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\Twitter\demo.php on line 38

I can print the properties..but when allocating them to those binded variables..the above errors crop up

I get also this:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘PDOException’ with message ‘SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column ‘tweeter_name’ cannot be null’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\Twitter\demo.php:40 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\Twitter\demo.php(40): PDOStatement->execute() #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\Twitter\demo.php on line 40

I checked instead like this:

    $tweet= "111111"; // $tweet->tweet ;
        $user= "22222222"; // $tweet->tweeter_name;
        $link= "3333333";  // $tweet->link;
        $date= "444444";

and it worked..for some reason it hates those object properties ?!?

This should go as input:

But it doesnt…?!?

Answer 1

Add self::$connection->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); right after connecting.

It would make sure PDO will throw PDOExceptions on every error, making them very easy to see. The error would then outline exactly what’s wrong.
