ID: 11428 Updated by: sniper Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: MySQL related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.5 Assigned To: Comments: I have never experienced such problems with Mysql. Please try shortening your code to shortest possible that still causes this. Also, I suggest you don't use this kind of constructs: "blaablaa"."blaablaa" And all the data inserted to db should be quoted. ie. use addslashes() on it. --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-12 06:28:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The script was fine for an Access database but when I changed it over for a MySQL database the insertion queries sometimes (most of the time but not all the time) adds two records to the database. Heres my connection: $db_hostname = "jd"; $db_username = "john"; $db_password = "nirvana"; $db_database = "neuquote"; $conn = mysql_connect($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password) or die ('Unable to connect to database'); $db = mysql_select_db($db_database,$conn) or die ('Unable to connect to database'); Heres my queries: $today = getdate(); $today = $today['mday']."/".$today['mon']."/".$today['year']." ".$today['hours'].":".$today['minutes'].":".$today['seconds']; // Insert new company $sql="INSERT INTO Company (CompanyName,CompanyAddress1,CompanyAddress2,CompanyAddress3,CompanyAddress4,CompanyArea,CompanyCountryId,CompanyPostalCode,CompanyTel,CompanyFax,CompanyEmail,CompanyURL,CompanyDesc,CompanyStatus,TimeCompanyCreated) ". "VALUES ('$company_name','$company_address1','$company_address2','$company_address3','$company_address4','$company_area',$company_country,'$company_postal_code','$company_tel','$company_fax','$company_email','$company_url','$company_desc',0,'$today')"; $res_insert_company = mysql_query($sql,$conn); //create a new hash to insert into the db and the confirmation email $hash=md5($email.$hidden_hash_var); $sql="INSERT INTO CompanyContact (ContactTitle,ContactFirstName,ContactSurname,ContactMiddleInitial,ContactAddress1,ContactAddress2,ContactAddress3,ContactAddress4,ContactArea,ContactCountryId,ContactPostalCode,ContactTel,ContactExt,ContactFax,ContactEmail,ContactPositionId,ContactUsername,ContactPassword,ContactRemoteAddress,ContactConfirmHash,ContactStatus,TimeContactCreated,CompanyId) ". "VALUES ($title,'$first_name','$surname','$middle_initial','$address1','$address2','$address3','$address4','$area',$country_code,'$postal_code','$tel','$ext','$fax','$email',$pos,'$user_name','". md5($password1) ."','$GLOBALS[REMOTE_ADDR]','$hash',0,'$today',$company_id)"; $res_insert_contact=mysql_query($sql,$conn); Most of the time two companies are added to the db and sometimes two companycontacts, this is not consistent though as sometimes it works fine. I have checked the submit button is not being clicked twice and the code is running one insert for company and one for companycontact. Is this a common problem with MySQL and PHP? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
