Question

I’ve looked around here but can’t seem to find an answer to my problem.

This is the first time I’ve used PDO and so am a complete newbie to it.

I have a load of data split into 2 tables and want to merge them into one, there are other ways of doing this, but without going into the complicated reasons why I am trying to do it this way…

I generate a recordset of the table I want to copy data from

construct my statement

run it in a loop

but I get the following error

SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match the number of tokens

I’ve gone through and triple checked I have the same amount of variables so why “tokens don’t match I dont know” like I said am very new to this so am probably missing something the pros would consider as obvious.

• It’s probably worth mentioning that I am not adding to every single column in the table, there are other columns but I have left them out of the prepared statement…
  Heres my code:

  //$dbh = new PDO($hostname_Seriously,  $DB_USER, $DB_PASSWORD);
  $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=seriouslysoulful_summers', $username_Seriously, $password_Seriously);
  $stmt = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO records_rec (oldid_rec, firstname_rec, artist_rec, aside_rec, bside_rec, label_rec, condition_rec, genere_rec, price_rec, collection_rec, active_rec, info_rec, notes_rec, order_rec, alabelimage_rec, blabelimage_rec, asound_rec, bsound_rec, featured_rec, format_rec) 
  VALUES (:oldid_rec, :firstname_rec, :artist_rec, :aside_rec, :bside_rec, :label_rec, :condition_rec, :genere_rec, :price_rec, :collection_rec, :active_rec, :info_rec, :notes_rec, :order_rec, :alabelimage_rec, :blabelimage_rec, asound_rec, bsound_rec, :featured_rec, :format_rec)");
  $stmt->bindParam(':oldid_rec', $id);

  $alabel = mysql_real_escape_string($row_rs_original['labelimage_A_prod']);
  $blabel = mysql_real_escape_string($row_rs_original['labelimage_B_prod']);

  $bsound = mysql_real_escape_string($row_rs_original['soundfile_B_prod']);
  $featured = $row_rs_original['featured_prod'];
  $format = $row_rs_original['format_prod'];
  
  $stmt->execute();
  
      $reccount = $reccount +1;
  //} while ($row_rs_original = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_original));
  echo($reccount." - records added...");
  

Answer 1

Missing colons

:blabelimage_rec, **:**asound_rec, **:**bsound_rec, :featured_rec, :format_rec
