I got stuck on this, and it would be really great if anybody could
point me in the right direction.
I was trying setting up these scripts following instructions in a book
from 2003, so I thought maybe some of the code might be outdated.
Basically this is what Is supposed to happen:
1.- Display a form, enter details into fields and click submit.
2.- After having clicked on submit you're redirected to another page
that will display the entered values and store them in the MySQL DB
specified.
Now what happens is that no errors are displayed after clicking on the
submit button in the form, but neither are the entered values. In
PHPMyAdmin I can see that the Db is still empty.
I created a total of 3 files that reside in the same folder:
The form, that when clicking on submit is redirected to the next file:
<html>
<head>
<title>product_registration.htm</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Registration of products</h1>
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="insert_into_and_response.php">
<p>Enter the product number: <input type="text" name"number" size="10"
value="128"></p>
<p>Name of product: <input type="text" name"name" size="30"
value="Mango"></p>
<p>Price per kilo: <input type="text" name"price" size="10"
value="24,40"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Send data" name="B1">
<input type="reset" value"Reset" name="B2"></p>
</body>
</html>
The file that sends the data to DB, and shows you what you just entered
in the form:
<html>
<head>
<title>insert_into_and_response.php</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<?php
$pris_punkt= ereg_replace(",",".",$price);
include ("dbconnect.php");
$sql = "INSERT INTO table_productspecs
(product_number, product_name, kiloprice)
VALUES
($number, '$name', $price_punkt)";
mysql_query($sql);
?>
<h1>Received following data</h1>
<p>Product number: <?php print $number ?>.</p>
<p>Name of product:: <?php print $name ?>.</p>
<p>Price per kilo: <?php print $price ?>.</p>
</body>
</html>
The configuration file containing all the details required to connect
to the DB:
<?php
$dbconnection = mysql_pconnect("localhost","dbuser","password")
or die("Could not establish connection with mysql_connect.");
mysql_select_db("DB-name",$dbconnection)
?>
The code that made the DB:
CREATE TABLE table_productspecs
(idx INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
product_number INT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
product_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
kiloprice DECIMAL(5,2) NOT NULL);
