Query was empty PHP error

Question

I am trying to build a cart using MySQL. I keep getting this error \'Query was empty\' when I run this code. Please help I\'ve tried several things such as putting the variables

Answer 1

What do you try to achieve with this line?

$result = mysql_query($query);

Just delete it and change the line above to

$result = mysql_query('insert into cart values('.$user.','.$itemNum.','.$name.', '.$image.','.$quantity.', '.$price.')'); 

[Edit]

Btw. you are forgetting the " (quotes) inside the query which causes an sql error to occur, leading to $query = false (see manual). $query (false) then gets converted to string, resulting in '' (an empty string) which you pass to mysql_query and that generates an "Query was empty"-Message, as it should because you tried to send an empty query.
