need help with insert.php

  #1  
Jul 25th, 2005
A little help, required with this insert.php script, which is meant to add a new user to mysql user, unfortunately when this script is executed, and username and password inserted, it doesn't actually add the new MYSQL USER, instead i just get the error message .

<?php
if(isset($_POST['add']))
{
include ('config.php');
include ('opendb.php');

mysql_select_db($mysql);
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

$query = "INSERT INTO user (host, user, password, select_priv, insert_priv, update_ priv) VALUES ('localhost', '$username', PASSWORD('$password'), 'Y', 'Y', 'Y')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed ');

$query = "FLUSH PRIVILEGES";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed');
include ('closedb.php');
echo "New MySQL user added";
}
else
{
?>
<form method="post">
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="100">Username</td>
<td><input name="username" type="text" id="username"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">Password</td>
<td><input name="password" type="text" id="password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="add" type="submit" id="add" value="Add New User"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Some better-worded code

Well, your code is, shall we say, less than perfect, but, then again, we all have to learn sometime, right? See if this helps:
[php]<?php
if (isset($_POST['add'])) {
include ('config.php');
include ('opendb.php');

mysql_select_db('DB_NAME', $mysql);
// You must tell it what the connection resource is, as well
// as which databse you will be using. Make sure that in opendb.php,
// the function mysql_connect(); is being set to $mysql.

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

$query = "INSERT INTO user (host, user, password, select_priv, insert_priv, update_ priv) VALUES ('localhost', $username, PASSWORD($password), 'Y', 'Y', 'Y')";
// No single quotes are needed for variables in the statement above.

mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed ');

$query2 = "FLUSH PRIVILEGES";
mysql_query($query2) or die('Error, insert query failed');

include ('closedb.php');
echo "New MySQL user added";
} else {
?>
<html><body>
<form method="post">
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="100">Username</td>
<td><input name="username" type="text" id="username"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">Password</td>
<td><input name="password" type="text" id="password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="add" type="submit" id="add" value="Add New User"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form></body></html>
[/php]

oh yeah, what a stupid mistake. Have not actually changed the database name in my config file. Thanks for pointing that out.

Just change your insert code with this:

$query = "INSERT INTO user (host, user, password, select_priv, insert_priv, update_ priv) VALUES ('localhost', '$username','$password', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed ');

I hope this works.
If do so then reply me.
bye.

Oh, shoot, we're both wrong, heh!

This will most DEFINATELY work.

[php]<?php
if (isset($_POST['add'])) {
include ('config.php');
include ('opendb.php');

mysql_select_db('DB_NAME', $mysql);
// You must tell it what the connection resource is, as well
// as which databse you will be using. Make sure that in opendb.php,
// the function mysql_connect(); is being set to $mysql.

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

$query = "INSERT INTO user (host, user, password, select_priv, insert_priv, update_ priv) VALUES ('localhost', '" . $username . "', 'PASSWORD(" . $password . "'), 'Y', 'Y', 'Y')";
// You need to concatenate with the '.' command.
// I know this will work, I've used it hunderds of times.

mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed ');

$query2 = "FLUSH PRIVILEGES";
mysql_query($query2) or die('Error, insert query failed');

include ('closedb.php');
echo "New MySQL user added";
} else {
?>
<html><body>
<form method="post">
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="100">Username</td>
<td><input name="username" type="text" id="username"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">Password</td>
<td><input name="password" type="text" id="password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="add" type="submit" id="add" value="Add New User"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form></body></html>[/php]

This has not been resolved since the original poster found an alternative solution and has not posted back for others.

This is the complete code I am using:

<html>
<head>
<title>Add New MySQL User</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['add']))
{
include 'library/config.php';
include 'library/opendb.php';

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

$query = "INSERT INTO user (host, user, password, select_priv, insert_priv, update_ priv) VALUES ('localhost', '$username', PASSWORD('$password'), 'Y', 'Y', 'Y')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed');

$query = "FLUSH PRIVILEGES";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed');

include 'library/closedb.php';
echo "New MySQL user added";
}
else
{
?>
<form method="post">
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="100">Username</td>
<td><input name="username" type="text" id="username"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">Password</td>
<td><input name="password" type="text" id="password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="add" type="submit" id="add" value="Add New User"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php
}
?>
</body>
</html>


I have tried the solutions above but the last one produced a syntax error

There must be a simpler solution

The three external files for these are as follows

1. closedb.php
<?php
//mysql_free_result($result);
mysql_close($conn);
?>

2.config.php
<?php
// db properties
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'xxxxxxx'; 
$dbpass = 'xxxxxx';
$dbname = 'xxxxxx';
?>

3.opendb.php
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ($dbname);
?>

I am wondering if the error is here:
$query = "INSERT INTO user (host, user, password, select_priv, insert_priv, update_ priv) VALUES ('localhost', '$username', PASSWORD('$password'), 'Y', 'Y', 'Y')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed');

INSERT INTO user

I have tried $user and even tried changing the database table name.
On the database there are two tables

user
tbl_auth_user
