hi,

i am trying to add data to a mysql table with PHP. the data is taken from a form. though it can connect to the server and select the database, it cannot insert data into the database. however, the script works fine on a local server. here's the script: http://adeydas.com/download.php?file=reg-submit&ext=txt

The code as in the above link:
Code:

Possibly try adding the MySQL connection code instead of doing $conn in the queries. I doubt that'll make a difference, but try it anyways?

which error message you are getting?

Is it "Couldn't insert your data into the Advaita database!!! Please contact the webmaster at webmaster@advaitagiet.com" ?


Edit:


Is it working properly?


Code:
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($sql3, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
    $iid2 = $row2['rid'];
   $email2 = $row2['remail'];
   $event6 = $row2['events'];
}

Hi,

I was going through you code. Dont know if this is the cause of the error but i noticed the following line in your code "$sql1 = mysql_query($query, $conn); ". Is the $conn variable the same an the one which is used while making the connection to the db. Otherwise try using this "$sql1 = mysql_query($query); ". The $conn is not necessary in you case here if you using only one database.
