mysql - php form submit isnt inserting into the database -
right, should basic php, cannot life of me figure out why not working.
i have form when submit should grab fields insert data database. have on index.php section pulls info database , works fine cant see being connection problem.
db_connection.php have hashed out info here database, correct
<?php define("db_server","**********"); define("db_user","*************"); define("db_pass","*********"); define("db_name","reviews"); $connection = mysqli_connect(db_server,db_user,db_pass,db_name); if(mysqli_connect_errno()){ die("database connection failed"); } ?> functions.php
<?php function redirect_to($new_location) { header("location: " . $new_location); exit; } function confirm_query($result){ if(!$result){ die("database query failed"); } } function find_reviews($connection){ $query = "select * "; $query .= "from reviews"; $result = mysqli_query($connection,$query); confirm_query($result); while($reviews = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){ $output = "<li class=\"first\">"; $output .= $reviews["name"]; $output .= "</li>"; $output .= "<li class=\"second\">"; $output .= $reviews["company"]; $output .= "</li>"; $output .= "<li class=\"third\">"; $output .= $reviews["comment"]; $output .= "</li>"; $output .= "<li class=\"line\"></li>"; echo $output; } mysqli_free_result($result); return $reviews; } ?> index.php note this, function find_reviews() works , grab information database. above "db_connection.php" , "functions.php" required in index.php
<?php require("includes/header.php"); $page_title = "all county road markings"; $description = "specialising in road marking & car park lining. professional established road marking service on 20 years experience";?> <?php require("includes/db_connection.php"); ?> <?php require("includes/functions.php"); ?> <?php if(isset($_post["submit"])){ $name = $_post["name"]; $company = $_post["company"]; $comment = $_post["comment"]; $query = "insert `reviews` (name,company,comment) values ('$name','$company','$comment')"; $result=mysqli_query($connection,$query); confirm_query($result); redirect_to("index.php"); } ?> <div id="banner"></div> <div id="paragraph"> <h2>all county road markings professional established road marking<br>service on 20 years experience within industry</h2> <hr style="width: 1050px;"> </div> <div id="content"> <div id="left"> <div class="slot"> <div class="top carpark"> </div> <div class="linkbar"> <h1>car parks</h1> </div><div class="linktext"> <ul class="comments display"> <li>- car parking bays</li> <li>- disabled parking bays</li> <li>- parent , child bays</li> <li>- lettering</li> <li>- hatchings</li> <li>- arrows</li> <li>- customised lettering</li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="slot"> <div class="top roadmark"> </div> <div class="linkbar"> <h1>road markings</h1> </div> <div class="linktext"> <ul class="comments display"> <li>- hatchings</li> <li>- centre lines</li> <li>- double yellow lines</li> <li>- give way junctions</li> <li>- reinstatement of existing markings</li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="slot"> <div class="top sportcourt"> </div> <div class="linkbar"> <h1>sports/playground court</h1> </div> <div class="linktext"> <ul class="comments display"> <li>- tennis court</li> <li>- basketball court</li> <li>- 5 side court</li> <li>- netball court </li> <li>- reinstatement of existing markings</li> <li>- custom designs available</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div id="right"> <div id="rightbar"> <h2 style="color: white;">testimonials</h2> </div> <div id="comment"> <ul class="comments"> <?php echo find_reviews($connection); ?> </ul> </div> <div id="write"> <p style="margin: 0px; padding-top: 5px;color: grey; font-size: 1.25em;">click write review...<p> </div> </div> <a href="contact.php"><div id="quote"><div class="link-text">contact us</div></div></a> </div> <div id="add"> <div id="close"></div> <form action="index.php" method="post"> <div id="name"> name:<br/><span>please enter full name</span> <input type="text" name="name" id="textbox"> </div> <div id="company"> company<br/><span>please enter company name</span> <input type="text" name="company" id="textbox1"> </div> <div id="review"> review<br/><span>please enter review</span> <textarea name="comment" id="reviewcomment"></textarea> </div> <div id="save"> <input type="submit" name="submit"> </div> </form> </div> </body> </html> ok can see doing wrong? when form submitted not inserting database.
edit::
when try echo mysqli->error; following error:
parse error: syntax error, unexpected t_object_operator, expecting ',' or ';' in /hermes/bosoraweb140/b484/ipg.allcountyroadmarking/index.php on line 17 so changed
if(!results){ echo "hello"; } and not see "hello" indicating not getting part deals post fields
self resolved:::::
ive fixed it, changed action="index.php" action=""
i dont understand, should have worked , reason having action blank worked. both should acceptable !
the if statement $_post['submint'] might false on every submit. maybe try !empty($_post)
