PHP MySQL insert not working

Question

Sorry if it\'s a quite simple problem. I am not too experienced with web languages.
Basically, it doesn\'t work.

$insert=
(
  \"INSERT INTO phpbb_members         


        

Answer 1

$insert=("INSERT INTO phpbb_members (emailAddress, uid, valid, firstandlast, propic, memberName) 
VALUES ($me['email'], $uid, 1, $me['name'], $propic, $newuser)"); 

Do wee need those extra brackets in the beginning and end? Try to remove it and execute.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM Person";
mysql_query($sql,$con);

Answer 2

$insert=("INSERT INTO phpbb_members (emailAddress, uid, valid, firstandlast, propic, memberName)
VALUES ('".$me['email']."','". $uid."',1,'". $me['name']."','" .$propic."','". $newuser."')");
mysql_query($insert) or die('Error, insert query failed');

Answer 3

If you'll use the following for testing, it will show you the error:

mysql_query($insert) or die(mysql_error()."<br />".$insert);

Answer 4

Try the following code,

 $insert=("INSERT INTO phpbb_members (emailAddress, uid, valid, firstandlast, propic, memberName) VALUES ('{$me['email']}', '{$uid}', '1', '{$me['name']}', '{$propic}', '{$newuser}')");
mysql_query($insert) or die('Error, insert query failed');

Answer 5

$insert="INSERT INTO phpbb_members (emailAddress, uid, valid, firstandlast, propic, memberName)
VALUES ('".$me['email']."', $uid, 1, '".$me['name']."', '$propic', $newuser)";

Missing singular quotes (for strings [varchar, char, text, etc]) and you need to close your quotes and concatenate when referencing an array. The above assumed $uid and $newuser are stored numerically in the DB.

Answer 6

I think the problem may be in the way you've laid out the information to be inserted.

This should work:

$insert=("INSERT INTO phpbb_members (emailAddress, uid, valid, firstandlast, propic, memberName)
VALUES ('$me[email]', '$uid', '1', '$me[name]', '$propic', '$newuser')");
        mysql_query($insert) or die('Error, insert query failed');

Hope it helps!

EDIT: I'm pretty sure the information to be inserted has to be inside ' '.
