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?)


You can get the error text by using the mysqli_error function.

So, something like:
$result = mysqli_query($cxn, $query)

or die("Unable to insert record: \n"."Transmittal Batch Num:
".$XmittalBatchNum . " -- Error was:" . mysqli_error($cxn));
