Fw: select * from table not showing everything

I am still at a loss. I deleted everything from the table using
delete from table;
I then added a row using the php method with the php webpage. I then checked the table with
select * from table;

this being the result


name | address | contact_no
------+---------+------------
| |
(1 row)

As you can see its detecting an entry in the table but it is not displaying the entry.
Can anyone advise? I am only geussing at a configuration problem?

Subject: select * from table not showing everything


I am using a php script via an xmlhttprequest to insert data into a postgresql table from a php web page form. before submitting the form data, I had 1 entry in my table. after submitting the form data, I ran a select * from table query which declared there were 2 entries in the table, but it only displayed the original entry. Is this a know issue? If this is not the corect forum for this post, please advise.

This is the code.

php web page

Perhaps because empty strings were send. You're not telling us your PHP=20
version. If you have 4.2.0 or later, register_globals is by default=20
disabled and $customer_name, $customer_address and $customer_contact_no=20
won't be registered. You'll need to use $_GET array to get those values.=20
Moreover, you don't escape strings.

Maybe you should try this
$query =3D "insert into customer values(";
$query .=3D "'" . pg_escape_string($_GET['customer_name']) . "', ";
$query .=3D "'" . pg_escape_string($_GET['customer_address']) . "', ";
$query .=3D "'" . pg_escape_string($_GET['customer_contact_no']) . "')=
";
$result =3D pg_query($connect, $query);
