Query to insert in database

$insert = "INSERT INTO dbForm (db_space_portion, db_animal_location) VALUES ('{$choice_spc_port}', '{$choice_loc}')";

I tried the same in firefox and those two lines give notice as mentioned in bracket. Also on internet many people are looking for solution. So I think this question will help many out there.

Answer 1

Use this query.

if(isset($_POST['txtSpace'])) {
    $choice_spc_port = $_POST['txtSpace'];
}
if(isset($_POST['txtLocation'])) {
    $choice_loc = $_POST['txtLocation'];
}

$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO dbForm (db_space_portion, db_animal_location) VALUES ('{$choice_spc_port}', '{$choice_loc}')");
