Re: [PHP] Query help needed

2001-11-29 Thread Miles Thompson

It looks OK, but I have lousy track record of writing out "perfect" sql 
which doesn't work. Syntax looks OK.

1. What does it look like if you write out the update statement, assign it 
to a var and then echo the var?
2. Can you try it at the console?
3. Try " or  die(mysql_error) ;" to see if you get a more specific error
4. Are your date and time fields of  type char in the database? Yo may not 
need the surrounding single quotes.
5. Try building the sucker up bit by bit, until you hit where it breaks.

that seems to be easy:
put every string and varchar in single quotes eg '$surname'
and every number like $fax_number without quotes

Could be that the value you're trying to insert doesn't match up with 
the field type in the database - you know, putting a word in a number 
field. What exactly is the error message?

I've got my names, web addresses etc. set up as Varchar and my telephone/fax
numbers as Bigint.  Special interests field as text.  Only other field in
the database is an auto increment number field.

AW: [PHP] Query Help Needed

2001-11-29 Thread Martin Lucas

take a look at your table definiton.
maybe some of your fields have a diferent definition as the value you want
to insert. e.g.
fax_number in your query-string is defined as string and in your table as
integer or something like this

martin

Do those field names need single quotes too? Can't remember right now ...
Are there any datatype problems (wrong kind of datatype for a field)?
What about a semi-colon at the end?
