Question

I’ve got a form in a Drupal module I’m trying to submit to create an “event”. The events table structure is:

• an event id
• a city id
• an event name
• a created field
• a picture field
• a time field
• a date field
• a data field
• an event type field (which is of type enum)

When I try to create a new event and insert it into the database using:

$eid = db_insert('events')->fields(array(
'cid' => $cid,
'name' => $name,
'time' => $time,
'date' => $timestamp,
'data' => $extra_info,
'event_type' => $checked,  //this is an array of checked checkboxes
))->execute();

it throws up an error saying:

PDOException :SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: parameter was not defined: INSERT INTO {events} (cid, name, time, date, data, event_type) VALUES (:db_insert_placeholder_0, :db_insert_placeholder_1, :db_insert_placeholder_2, :db_insert_placeholder_3, :db_insert_placeholder_4, :db_insert_placeholder_5_Games, :db_insert_placeholder_5_Other); Array ( [:db_insert_placeholder_0] => 1 [:db_insert_placeholder_1] => Name [:db_insert_placeholder_2] => 23.30 [:db_insert_placeholder_3] => 1313020800 [:db_insert_placeholder_4] => More [:db_insert_placeholder_5_Games] => Games [:db_insert_placeholder_5_Other] => Other ) in event_creation_submit().

Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

Managed to fix the situation.

Changed the type of the event_type field to a set and passed it a string of values instead of an array. This solved it.

Thanks for everyone’s help though!
