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"> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100"> </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
