Question

I’ve got this script I’m working on to rate music, there are no errors, and I’m getting ‘Data Inserted’, I’m aware I haven’t escaped the data yet, but are there any problems in this script that might be preventing it from putting the inserted data in to the database?

 <?
    include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/assets/global/scripts/connect.php');
    $songname = $_GET['songname'];
    $artist = $_GET['artist'];
    $ratenum = 1; 
    $chkquery = "SELECT * FROM hotmuze_music WHERE songname='$songname'";
    $plusOneQuery = "SELECT * FROM hotmuze_music WHERE songname='$songname'";
    $updateQuery = "UPDATE hotmuze_music SET rating='$rating2' WHERE songname='$songname'";
    $checkdata = mysql_query($chkquery);
    $checkrows = mysql_num_rows($checkdata); 
    if($checkrows==0) 
    {
    $insquery = "INSERT INTO hotmuze_music (id, songname, artist, sex, genre, rating, promoted) VALUES('', '$songname', '$artist', '', '$genre' '$ratenum')";
    $insdata = mysql_query($insquery); 
    } 


    if($checkrows!=0) 
    { 
    $plusData = mysql_query($plusOneQuery);
    }

    if(mysql_num_rows($plusData)!=0) 
    {
    $result = mysql_fetch_assoc($plusData);
    $rating = $result['ratng'];
    $rating2 = $rating+1;
    mysql_query($updateQuery); 
    echo "Data Inserted";
    } 
    ?>

Thanks! 🙂

The error you’re getting Column count doesn't match value count at row 1 is caused by missing 1 more DB column in your insert statement.

(id, songname, artist, sex, genre, rating, promoted) are 7 fields and you’re only giving values for 6 which is VALUES('', '$songname', '$artist', '', '$genre' '$ratenum')";
