| Problem with INSERT command into MySQL Hello everyone, I seem to be having a problem inserting some information into a MySQL table. Below is a copy of the MySQL table code I used and also the PHP code. I was wondering if anyone can help me find out why it wont insert the information. What I am trying to do is make it so members can go and choose an option to join one of a selection of islands which will be subdivded into towns and then the town subdivided into villages. Each of the island/town and village levels will have a staff rank to allow certain members to have access rights to those pages. But basically as you can see I want to set the default island/town/village levels and ranks to 0 intially. Then when the member goes to the island -age they will choose an island of say 4 options (which would update the island field to between 1-4 to depending on selecting an option. Then they choose a town of say between 1-4 and then again it updates the town field of between 1-4. And again for the village. However, for some reason this code isnt working so far and its stopped me in my tracks. lol I am using the $userid and $game tags which are apart of the include global.inc.php page I believe. I need this to identify the user and their individual details. Can anyone help or see any obvious mistakes? Here is the MySQL code: And this is the PHP island1090.pro.php page which should once the link on island1090.php is clicked insert a row. But currently it doesnt do it. <?php Any help is much appreciated. Thank you Justin |

| Re: Problem with INSERT command into MySQL Hi Justin I see you have the command ob_start() at the top of your php. Do you have the ob_end_flush() command before the page end? What ob_start() does is to hold all the php output in its Output Buffer (ob) until it receives the ob_end_flush() command, whereupon it sends all the output together. So, if you don't have the ob_end_flush(), php is going to wait a long time before sending the output to the server! ;-) I hope that helps. Rory |

| Re: Problem with INSERT command into MySQL Print out your query, execute it in phpmyadmin/ mysql console and see if it works. You can also give "die" to check if your query is working or not. ie., |

| Re: Problem with INSERT command into MySQL Hiya thanks for the replies., I have tried the ob_end and that didnt work and dont exactly know how to print the query :>/ Im sorry but im only a beginner. I know how to run a SQL query but not print or do the die. :>/ Also I actually dont know why the ob_start is there as I took a similar script from my website and just changed the details to this table. Im not sure I could write it from scratch quite yet. But what does the Ob_start and end mean/do? Thanks Justin |

| Re: Problem with INSERT command into MySQL You are trying to insert an id value of ' ' when you have that column set up as auto_increment. Don't insert an id value. Let MySQL set the id value. Try this: mysql_query("INSERT INTO island2 (user,island,town,village,islandrank,townrank,villagerank,game) VALUES ('$userid','1','1','1','0','0','0','$game')"); |

It was explained, but we will try again. ob_start(); buffers the output to the browser (stops it) until ob_end_flush() is called. If you don't have ob_end_flush() then the output of code after ob_start will not be sent to the browser. Matti Ressler Suomedia |

| Re: Problem with INSERT command into MySQL I paid for the script off this guy who advertises that he gives support and backup to customers. However, this is not true and he ignores any tech support requests so I have had to learn what I can by editing the script. Why is it really that bad? :o/ Justin |
