You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') VALUES('corey','gibson','Cambodia','ab','bragg creek','t0l0k0','corey_g' at line 1

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO myMembers (firstname, lastname, country, province, city, postal_code, email, acp_reg, rank_medical, rank_fire, nok_firstname, nok_lastname, nok_country, nok_province, nok_city, nok_postal_code, nok_phone, password, sign_up_date,)
VALUES('$firstname','$lastname','$country','$province','$city','$postal_code','$email1','$acp_reg','$rank_medical','$rank_fire','$nok_firstname','$nok_lastname','$nok_country','$nok_province','$nok_city','$nok_postal_code','$nok_phone','$db_password', now()")
or die (mysql_error());

$id = mysql_insert_id();

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
I am new to php, so my debug skills are rather limited.
Thanks

you have an extra comma for one

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO myMembers (firstname, lastname, country, province, city, postal_code, email, acp_reg, rank_medical, rank_fire, nok_firstname, nok_lastname, nok_country, nok_province, nok_city, nok_postal_code, nok_phone, password, sign_up_date)
VALUES('$firstname','$lastname','$country','$province','$city','$postal_code','$email1','$acp_reg','$rank_medical','$rank_fire','$nok_firstname','$nok_lastname','$nok_country','$nok_province','$nok_city','$nok_postal_code','$nok_phone','$db_password', now()")
or die (mysql_error());

$id = mysql_insert_id();

first, you should put your sql into a str

ie. $sql = "insert....blah

then you can echo it out and see the result.

the error is most likely a string needed escaped.

make this change and tell me what it echos for the SQL

It's a good habbit to get in to to put your sql in a string. that way you can echo it out, debug it, or copy/paste into a mysql client

$sqlstr ="INSERT INTO myMembers (firstname, lastname, country, province, city, postal_code, email, acp_reg, rank_medical, rank_fire, nok_firstname, nok_lastname, nok_country, nok_province, nok_city, nok_postal_code, nok_phone, password, sign_up_date) VALUES ('$firstname', '$lastname', '$country', '$province', '$city', '$postal_code', '$email1', '$acp_reg', '$rank_medical', '$rank_fire', '$nok_firstname', '$nok_lastname', '$nok_country', '$nok_province', '$nok_city', '$nok_postal_code', '$nok_phone', '$db_password', now()";
echo $sql;
$sql = mysql_query($sqlstr);

you start by dumbing it down. Make a small sql insert statement and run it manually. or run the whole thing in a mysql client or phpmyadmin and it shoudl tell you which line. or post here what that echo $sql; line spits out.

can you export the structure of your "myMembers" database and paste it here so that we can try.

So i fixed the comma after sign up date, and now i get this error

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 2

ok so im getting an

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\RMES Website\php\register.php on line 273

which I can only assume because I have no mail settings set up becuase this is an intranet site.

As well I am no longer getting an error message for the insert to sql; however, nothing gets entered into my database.

So I solved the mail problem, however I still can't get it to insert my values into the database

The problem with communicating the error to the caller remains, ... Also, the most likely errors from a batch of dynamic SQL are probably syntax errors. ... you have to somehow handle T-SQL errors in your client code too.....

Thanks and mybe it can helps

How do I know where to start looking if it isn't giving me anymore actual errors.
It's just not inserting the values into the DB

So i can insert data into my db via phpmyadmin, but even a simple sql insert statment wont insert any data into the table.
in phpmyadmin all I see is

Showing rows 0 - 0 (1 total, Query took 0.0003 sec)

ok so this is my current php code, minus the inputs.

I can get a small test script to write to the datebase, however I still can't get this code to write.

It is still not throwing any errors, it's just not working.

This is my test script

<?php 
$dbhost = 'localhost'; 
$dbuser = '*****'; 
$dbpass = '******'; 

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die                      ('Error connecting to mysql'); 

$dbname = '****'; 
mysql_select_db($dbname); 

$sql = "INSERT INTO mymembers (firstname, email) VALUES ('$name', '$email1')"; 

mysql_query($sql); 

$id = mysql_insert_id();

?>

try this:

$sql = 'INSERT INTO `myMembers` (`firstname`,`lastname`,`address1`,`address2`,`province`,`city`,`postal_code`,`phone`,`acp_reg`,`nok_firstname`,`nok_lastname`,`nok_address1`,`nok_address2`,`nok_province`,`nok_city`,`nok_postal_code`,`nok_phone`,`email`,`password`,`sign_up_date`,`last_log_date`,`bio_body`,`website`,`youtube`,`account_type`,`email_activated`) VALUES (\'a\',\'b\',\'c\',\'d\',\'e\',\'f\',\'g\',\'1\',\'1\',\'a\',\'b\',\'c\',\'d\',\'e\',\'f\',\'g\',\'h\',\'a\',\'a\',\'2009-12-08\',\'2009-12-08\',\'hello\',\'www.google.com\',\'www.youtube.com\',\'b\',\'1\')';

if success you can remove the \' just put ' ' in the value list.

here's the EXPORT in phpmyadmin

INSERT INTO `myMembers` (`firstname`, `lastname`, `address1`, `address2`, `province`, `city`, `postal_code`, `phone`, `acp_reg`, `rank_fire`, `rank_medical`, `nok_firstname`, `nok_lastname`, `nok_address1`, `nok_address2`, `nok_province`, `nok_city`, `nok_postal_code`, `nok_phone`, `email`, `password`, `sign_up_date`, `last_log_date`, `bio_body`, `website`, `youtube`, `account_type`, `email_activated`) VALUES
('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', '1', '1', '7', '6', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'b@hotmail.com', 'a', '2009-12-08', '2009-12-08', 'hello', 'www.google.com', 'www.youtube.com', 'b', '1')

Make Sure there is no Duplicate in your email address because that is a "UNIQUE" key in your table

the above commands work in my phpmyadmin.. you can follow that format..make sure there is no duplicate in email fields

It just does the same thing as the previous statements.

Doesn't run an error, just doesn't insert anything to the table.

Got this working, thanks guys

$sql = "INSERT INTO myMembers (`firstname`, `lastname`, `address1`, `address2`, `province`, `city`, `postal_code`, `phone`, `acp_reg`, `rank_fire`, `rank_medical`, `nok_firstname`, `nok_lastname`, `nok_address1`, `nok_address2`, `nok_province`, `nok_city`, `nok_postal_code`, `nok_phone`, `email`, `password`, `sign_up_date`, `last_log_date`, `bio_body`, `account_type`, `email_activated`) VALUES ('$firstname', '$lastname', 'c', 'd', '$province', '$city', '$postal_code', '1', '$acp_reg', '$rank_fire', '$rank_medical', '$nok_firstname', '$nok_lastname', 'c', 'd', '$nok_province', '$nok_city', '$nok_postal_code', 'h', '$email1', '$db_password', '2009-12-08', '2009-12-08', 'hello', 'b', '1')";

next time also here's the technique in your database $sql =

put die($sql) to see what you are updating on the table the result is this one in your screen.

INSERT INTO myMembers (`firstname`, `lastname`, `address1`, `address2`, `province`, `city`, `postal_code`, `phone`, `acp_reg`, `rank_fire`, `rank_medical`, `nok_firstname`, `nok_lastname`, `nok_address1`, `nok_address2`, `nok_province`, `nok_city`, `nok_postal_code`, `nok_phone`, `email`, `password`, `sign_up_date`, `last_log_date`, `bio_body`, `account_type`, `email_activated`) VALUES ('$firstname', '$lastname', 'c', 'd', '$province', '$city', '$postal_code', '1', '$acp_reg', '$rank_fire', '$rank_medical', '$nok_firstname', '$nok_lastname', 'c', 'd', '$nok_province', '$nok_city', '$nok_postal_code', 'h', '$email1', '$db_password', '2009-12-08', '2009-12-08', 'hello', 'b', '1')

copy that command and run in your SQL in phpmyadmin or NaviCat
