i have a form which asks the user to enter a username ,
once the user enters the username,
the program will check if the username entered by the user is a new username
or an old one from the database 'testdb' and table 'test'.
if it is a new username , it will add the new record to the database,
for some reason even the program will notify me that a new record has been added,
but when i check my table 'test' within phpmyadmin i cannot see the new record.
// testing3 does not work....
// the idea was to have the user enter
a UserName and check if the UserName is allready
contained within the UserNames in table test from
dataset testdb.
<?php
if ($_POST){
$adding = mysql_escape_string($_POST['UserName']);
echo "Adding ".$adding ." to products...<br />";
$mysql_connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "fireman9");
if (!$mysql_connection) die("<font color='red'><b>MySQL connection error, process halted!</b></font>");
if (!mysql_select_db("testdb", $mysql_connection)) die ("Unable to select database, process halted!");
$get_categories = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM test ");
$name = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_categories)){
$name[] = $row['UserName'];
echo $row['UserName'];
}
// check if the entered username is equal to the UserName at the current row in datatable
// if they are not equal
// insert values $adding and create new table producs.adding
// if username $adding is not within the array $name..
// add the new record and create the table
if (!in_array($adding, $name))
{
echo "Category does not exist...<br /> ;
Adding...<br />";
$add_categories = mysql_query("INSERT INTO test VALUES ('','', '$adding')");
echo "Successfully inserted into database...<br />" ;
$create_table = mysql_query(" CREATE TABLE `products`.`$adding` (
