Re: Why does this SQL Insert Fail -- WEB400

Sorry. Should have said that I'd tried it both ways already.

It did not work.

I've not used MySQL much so it's probably something really obvious that I
just don't know about.

I don't know PHP and don't use it -- but looking at your SQL the variables
in your VALUES section are enclosed in quotes. Would it work if you omitted
the quotes?

Subject: [WEB400] Why does this SQL Insert Fail

Hi,

Trying to do a simple PHP SQL to insert a row into a MySQL database and it
keeps failing.

I've tried it with hard coded values and also with variables.

The DB was created fine, and I was able to connect to it fine.

Also, the user profile has all rights to the DB.

But it keep failing.

Is there a way to get more diagnostic info maybe so that I can see WHY it
fails or barring that, can someone see any reason why this would fail (coded
incorrectly maybe?)

Thanks!

$XmittalBatchNum = $sta->transmittal->aheader->XmittalBatchNum;

$TransmittalDate = $sta->transmittal->aheader->TransmittalDate;

$Agency = $sta->transmittal->aheader->Agency;

$RB_UserID = $sta->transmittal->aheader->RB_UserID;

$CashAmountTotal = $sta->transmittal->aheader->CashAmountTotal;

$CheckAmountTotal = $sta->transmittal->aheader->CheckAmountTotal;

$CreditAmountTotal = $sta->transmittal->aheader->CreditAmountTotal;

$CitationCount = $sta->transmittal->aheader->aCount;

$cxn=mysqli_connect("localhost", "shannon" , "mypass", "sta")

or die("Error Connecting to database");

$query = "INSERT INTO TBH-Table (

XmittalBatchNum,

)

VALUES('$XmittalBatchNum',

'$TransmittalDate',

'$Agency',

'$RB_UserID',

'$CashAmountTotal',

'$CheckAmountTotal',

'$CreditAmountTotal',

'$aCount')";

echo "<htmL><body><center>".$query."</center></body></html>";

$result = mysqli_query($cxn, $query)

or die("Unable to insert record: \n"."Transmittal Batch Num:
".$XmittalBatchNum);

echo "<h4>Record Added to Database</h4>";

?>
