Title: PHP question
Post by: MatthewPapa on June 22, 2005, 01:26:40 pm

Right now I am writing a pilot creation form so that users can create a new PXO pilot to play with. The task invoves inserting like 4 fields of data into an table on a SQL database. This is all done though a HTML form. Here is my code

My HTML form page:

Code: [Select]

 

  Create a new pilot

 
   
     
     
   
   
     
     
   
   
     
     
   
   
     
     
   
   
     
     
   
 

Username
Password
Squadron
Email
Profile

 

 

 

and my php page that takes care of the insertion:

Quote

$usr = "myusername";
$pwd = "mypassword";
$db = "fs2openpxo";
$host = "localhost";

$cid = mysql_connect($host,$usr,$pwd);
mysql_select_db($db);
if (!$cid) { print "ERROR: " . mysql_error() . "\n"; }

$username = $_POST["username"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
$squadron = $_POST["squadron"];
$email = $_POST["email"];


if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {

$sql = " INSERT INTO useraccounts ";
$sql .= " (UserName, PassWord, Email, Squadron) VALUES ";
$sql .= " ('$username', '$password','$email','$squadron') ";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $cid);
if (mysql_error()) { print "Database ERROR: $sql " . mysql_error(); }
?>

I keep getting a parse error when I try and run this.
An example can be found at http://freespaceserver.cjb.net/fs2netd/newpilot.php

Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: cant get the HTML to appear as HTML. View page source to see the form's HTML content.

Is that the complete source of that file?

Edit: I think (it's been awhile) that you might have to use \' instead of just ' in double-quote strings.

Well, it's just that there's supposedly a parse error on line 36, but there is no line 36, and according to the source you posted there is no header file :wtf:

Nor is there a

Single quotes inside double quoutes are ok.

There is a missing '}' in the last if-statement.


if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
  $sql = " INSERT INTO useraccounts ";
  $sql .= " (UserName, PassWord, Email, Squadron) VALUES ";
  $sql .= " ('$username', '$password','$email','$squadron') ";
  $result = mysql_query($sql, $cid);
  if (mysql_error()) {
    print "Database ERROR: $sql " . mysql_error();
  }
}  //here
