I’ve set my code up so that the user inputs all of the location

  • 0

I’ve set my code up so that the user inputs all of the location details (address, city, county, country and postcode) and then on the click of a button the lat and lon values are fed into two text boxes… My problem now is that the code that was previously working to save the data to the database is not working.

Here’s my code…

php

<?php

$username = "username";
$database = "database";
$password = "password";

mysql_connect(localhost, $username, $password);

@mysql_select_db($database) or die("unable to find database");

$name = $_GET["name"];
$address = $_GET["address"];
$city = $_GET["city"];
$county = $_GET["county"];
$country = $_GET["country"];
$postcode = $_GET["postcode"];
$date = $_GET["date"];
$time = $_GET["time"];
$latitude = $_GET["latitude"];
$longitude = $_GET["longitude"];

$query = "INSERT INTO map VALUES ('', '$name', '$address', '$city', '$county', '$country', '$postcode', '$date', '$time, '$latitude', '$longitude'')";

mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error("error"));
mysql_close();

?>

I know the code isn’t the best as I’m new to Objective C and iOS development, but I’m really panicking as this is my final university assignment and it needs to be handed in at 10am tomorrow so ANY help would be appreciated!

    You have a superfluous ' in your INSERT statement after $longitude.
