php insert problem

$database = pg_connect ("host=localhost dbname=rbak user=nobody") or die("database connection failed");
$result = pg_exec ($database, "INSERT into employees (emp_name, emp_email) VALUES ('$emp_name','$emp_email')";

if (!$result) {
echo "query died\n";
exit;
}



the above code produces a parse error. "parse error, unexpected ';' in blah.php on line X"

line X is the $result = pg_exec ($database, "INSERT into employees (emp_name, emp_email) VALUES ('$emp_name','$emp_email')"; line. I've started at this long enough, and it's time for other eyes to look. any ideas? similar SELECT queries work just fine.

Re: php insert problem

You need to close your parenthesis after the last double quote.

Re: php insert problem

Hi Dan,

You're missing a close parentheses ")" in the pg_exec line... :)

TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org

Re: php insert problem

Should it not be

$result = pg_exec ($database, "INSERT into employees (emp_name, emp_email) VALUES ('$emp_name','$emp_email');");

Cheers

You're missing a closing )

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Re: php insert problem

Hi,

It seems you forgot closing the php function arguments with ')':

$result = pg_exec ($database, "INSERT into employees
(emp_name, emp_email) VALUES ('$emp_name','$emp_email')");

This should work

Re: php insert problem

Hey, dan... are you getting these messages? It seems we have a consensus.
Do you still get an error?
