Dubird 6,815 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Ok, here's the thing. I'm trying to use a simple PHP script to take data from an HTML form and send it to the database. I've tried about 5 different variations of it, all doing the same thing, and I'm getting the same error: Database 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 1 I can't find what's causing the problem. It is connecting and finding the database, it just can't run what I have. Which is: <?php // Connect to the database server $cid = @mysql_connect("*****","*****","*****"); if (!$cid) { echo( "<P>Unable to connect to the " . "database server at this time.</P>" ); exit(); } // Select the graphics database if (! @mysql_select_db("graphics") ) { echo( "<P>Unable to locate the graphics " .

gokuDX7 2,871 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 hehe you got a bit of a mess there. I can show you a much simpler way if you like. Make a new file and call it mysql_connect.php Type this in the file and save it. <?phpDEFINE ('DB_USER', 'name'); // Insert your database username into the quotes. DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // Insert your database password into the quotes. DEFINE ('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // This will most likely stay the same. DEFINE ('DB_NAME', 'download'); //Insert your actual database name in the quotes. $dbc = @mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD) OR die ('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysql_error()); @mysql_select_db (DB_NAME) OR die('Could not select the database: ' . mysql_error() ); ?> Then use this as a add data script. I added as many comments as I could to help you understand what each thing does. If you need help I can help as much as possible in my free time.<?php//checks if someone clicked the submit button. if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) { //includes the database connection include ('mysql_connect.php'); //checks if the name field is empty if (empty($_POST['name'])) { echo '<p><font color="red">You need to enter a name.</font></p>'; } else { $name = $_POST['name']; } //checks if the layout field is empty if (empty($_POST['layout'])) { echo '<p><font color="red">You need to enter a type of layout.</font></p>'; } else { $layout = $_POST['layout']; } //checks if the catagory field is empty if (empty($_POST['catagory'])) { echo '<p><font color="red">You need to enter a Catagory (blog, anime, generic).</font></p>'; } else { $catagory2 = $_POST['catagory']; } //checking for vb/javascript script and preventing them from using it in the catagory filed. $urlreg = $catagory2; if( preg_match('/<script language=(.*?)/', $urlreg) ) { echo '<p><font color="red">Scripting languages are not allowed</font></p>'; } else { $catagory = $_POST['catagory']; } //grabs the data for name, layout, catagory and inserts it. if ($name && $layout && $catagory) { //inserts data into the downloads table $query = "INSERT INTO downloads (name, layout, catagory, date) VALUES ('$name', '$layout', '$catagory', NOW())"; $result = @mysql_query($query); //outputs message if problem or successfull if ($result) { echo '<p><font color="red">Data was added! <a href="index.php">Home</a></font></p>'; } else { echo '<font color="red"><p>Data could not be added!

I did add a small regex check for the category field to be checked and prevent any java script from being added. However if you dont plan to have any html or javascript at all in any of the input fields then you should use striptags to filter out any possible tags.

Mathias 426 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 I think gokuDX7 has done a wonderful job in helping you. I've only skimmed the code, but it looks very similar to my own forms. I'm not up to speed with all of the regular expressions, but I've found this site very informative. http://www.regular-expressions.info/ I would recommend creating a function for your PHP code and stick it in its own include file. It may add a little overhead, but unless you are expecting a high traffic volume (I sure don't), the organized structures of classes and functions in include files are very useful, making maintenance of the code later easier. I recommend creating a file called debug.inc.php in your lib folder. <?php //----------------------------------------------------------------------- // Function: Debug // Description: Print the values entered straight to the pages for debug. // Assumptions: session_start(); has already been called. //----------------------------------------------------------------------- function Debug($sName, $saValues) { if (is_array($saValues)) { print "<p><b>$sName</b> "; print_r($saValues); print "</p>\n"; } else { print "<p><b>$sName</b> $saValues </p>\n"; } return (1); } ?> Add this include to the beginning of any PHP script in question. include_once "lib/debug.inc.php"; I use this debug function regularly to print of variables, array, and pesky SQL statements that don't work. I apologize for not knowing your knowledge base and experience ahead of time. I hope you find these tips useful. Quote Understand this lad, fate is a fickle lady.

I apologize for not knowing your knowledge base and experience ahead of time. I hope you find these tips useful. if( preg_match('/<script language=(.*?)/', $urlreg) ) { means check for <script language="anything after it". So any time someone attempts to use <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> alert("HAHAHAHAHA HAXOR"); </script> it will prevent that and output an error message. Keep in mind the regex was only for the category input box as an example on how you can do it. If you want to prevent people from doing it in all the others then you have to do the same for them or just use the striptags function to prevent any code at all from being inputted (ie. <b>JAjJAJ</b> <marquee direction="left">jajJAjJAJ</marquee>...etc Hope you guys understand. Regex can be a bit harder to understand but I rely on it heavily for things for some reason :/ Quote All hail piggy, king of bacon ^)^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubird 6,815 Report post Posted June 1, 2007 Ok, tried the form from goku, and still no dice. It says Data cannot be added. I honestly don't care about leaving fields blank or allowing javascript because I'm the only one that will use it. I just want an easy way to update without having to log into my hosting control panel and navigating to my SQL admin panel. I'm a bit lost right now, because it retrieves information just fine. I just can't find a way to insert new data. Quote Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gokuDX7 2,871 Report post Posted June 2, 2007 This could be becuse of 1 or 2 things. First check your mysql_connect.php file, make sure its pointing to the right database name. In case your not sure what it is, open up phpmyadmin and look at the drop down list on the left for the name of the place your data is being stored. That name is your database name. Make sure its spelled right in the mysql_connect.php file. it could also be saying that because you may be missing a field name in your database. See this part in my code INSERT INTO downloads (name, layout, catagory, date) VALUES ('$name', '$layout', '$catagory', NOW()) Look at your database and see if you have a name, layout, catagory, date field. If one is missing then thats why your getting the error. If you can give me every field that you insert data into then I can update my source code to work for you. I'm sure now that you know you can just change the names around. Quote All hail piggy, king of bacon ^)^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubird 6,815 Report post Posted June 8, 2007 ok, first of all, i'm using the same connect script i'm using for everything else....and it'll tell me if it's not connecting, so that's good.... also, i don't have those fields in my table, so i changed the script to reflect that....they're all correct, and it's the same ones that allow me to grab the data..... here's what i've got (and yes, i'm not using the seperate connect file, i prefer it this way because i'm using several different databases, so it's easier for me to keep track this way) <html> <head> <title>Insert New Record</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <h2>Insert New Record</h2> <?php // Connect to the database server $dbc = @mysql_connect("localhost","******","******"); if (!$dbc) { echo( "<P>Unable to connect to the " .

gokuDX7 2,871 Report post Posted June 8, 2007 hehe your variable names don't match the ones in your mysql INSERT. Looks like you copy pasted my last "//checks if the * field is empty" code and removed the javascript but forgot to rename the variables. See how there's a 2 next to each variable name starting with $style2? You can remove all the 2's since the only reason I had the 2 on the last field was for the javascript prevention part. To try and make it clear I'll past the update so you can look and compare. <html><head> <title>Insert New Record</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <h2>Insert New Record</h2> <?php // Connect to the database server $dbc = @mysql_connect("localhost","****","*****"); if (!$dbc) { echo( "<P>Unable to connect to the " .

This way you don't have 100's of files with your db info in them. The code I showed you before also outputs an error if it can't connect.Oh also theres really no need to add the id field in if its automatic. You can leave it blank and it works just fine. Your choice though. Theres no harm in having it there. Tell me if the above works. If not then past your db structure so I can test (go to phpmyadmin, browse to the database of this script's, click export at the top, copy past the output here).
