I am only a beginner but I always use single quotes, I am using mySQL.
Such as:
$sql = "INSERT INTO $table_name
(day, daydate, month, year, time, place, numbers, details, reportby)
VALUES ('$day', '$daydate', 'month', 'year', '$time',
'$place','$numbers','$details', '$reportby')";
All the Best

Subject: [PHP-DB] Data errors in entering
I seem to be having a problem with a php script I use to enter data into a
sql database from a php frontend. The data are ints (months and years as
a number).
The Database is :
+----------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| day | text | YES | | NULL | |
| daydate | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| month | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| year | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| time | text | YES | | NULL | |
| place | text | YES | | NULL | |
| numbers | text | YES | | NULL | |
| details | text | YES | | NULL | |
| reportby | text | YES | | NULL | |
+----------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
The html file takes the data in as (Using the post method):
<P><STRONG>DATE:</STRONG><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="int" NAME="daydate" SIZE=10 MAXLENGTH=10></p>
<P><STRONG>MONTH:</STRONG><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="int" NAME="month" SIZE=10 MAXLENGTH=10></p>
<P><STRONG>YEAR:</STRONG><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="int" NAME="year" SIZE=10 MAXLENGTH=10></p>
and the php script interacts with the data as:
$sql = "INSERT INTO $table_name
(day, daydate, month, year, time, place, numbers, details,
reportby)
VALUES
(\"$day\", \"$daydate\", \"month\", \"year\", \"$time\",
\"$place\",\"$numbers\",\"$details\", \"$reportby\")
";
The Sections affected are month and year all the others including daydate
which is exactly the same are working. Can someone please point out the
error to me?
