Hello, What I am doing is very simple. I have a form in register.php with several textboxes and stuff. On submit, the doRegister.php file is invoked. Now, in that file, I am not able to successfully retrieve the parameters filled in the forms (which I need to use to run a db query.)
I checked all syntax and everything seems just as expected in PHP. I tried both GET and POST. WHile using GET I can see the parameters in the URL. I am running PHP4 via Apache 2.0.43. Can somebody tell me what could be going wrong? Thanks, Ash Here are the files register.php <form method="post" action="../controller/doRegister.php" name="register"> <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td> First Name <input type="text" name="firstName" size="30" maxlength="30"> </td> <td> Last Name <input type="text" name="lastName" size="30" maxlength="30"> </td> </tr> <!-- SNIP --> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <div align="center"> <input type="submit" name="register" value="Register"> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> doRegister.php ---------------------- <?php echo "adding 1 [" . $firstName . "]<br>"; include("../common/opendb.php"); addStuff('ssn03', $firstName, $lastName, $addess1, $address2, $city, $state, $zip, '123456789', $email, $password); //header("Location: ../general/home.php"); exit(); function addStuff($SSN, $firstName, $lastName, $address1, $address2, $city, $state, $zip, $phone, $email, $password) { include("../common/queryList.php"); echo "adding tip 2 "; echo "[" . $firstName . "]<br>"; $query = "INSERT INTO Receiver VALUES ($SSN, $firstName, $lastName, $address1, $address2, $city, $state, $zip, $phone, $email, NULL)"; echo "query: " . $query . "\n<br>"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error()); echo $result; // close database connection //mysql_close($connection); // get and print number of rows in resultset //return mysql_num_rows($result); //echo "\n[" . mysql_num_rows($result) . " rows returned]\n"; } ?> Here is the output I get ------------------------------------ adding tip receiver 1 [] adding tip receiver 2 [] query: INSERT INTO Receiver VALUES (ssn03, , , , , , , , 123456789, , NULL) Error in query: INSERT INTO Receiver VALUES (ssn03, , , , , , , , 123456789, , ash, NULL).
