  5. Hi, can you please check why my code keeps on giving me "not inserted" error.
    I tried to check the syntax but still the same error.

    <?php
    $con = mysqli_connect('********', '*********', '********');

    if (!$con) {
    echo 'Not connected to Server';
    }
    if(!mysqli_select_db($con,'***********'))
    {
    echo 'Database not selected';
    }
    $fname = $_POST['fname'];
    $mname = $_POST['mname'];
    $lname = $_POST['lname'];
    $position = $_POST['position'];
    $mobile1 = $_POST['mobile1'];
    $mobile2 = $_POST['mobile2'];
    $age = $_POST['age'];

    $sql = "INSERT INTO workers (fname, mname, lname, position, mobile1, mobile2, age,) VALUES ('fname','mname','lname','position','mobile1','mobile2','age')";

    if(!mysqli_query($con,$sql))
    {
    echo 'Not Inserted';
    }
    else
    {
    echo 'Inserted';
    }
    header("refresh:10000000; url=insertindex.html");

    ?>

  10. Hi brother…. your videos are very useful to me….
    I have one doubt that if we give data like this
    INSERT INTO user2 (USERNAME,PASSWORD,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME) VALUES('asdf', 'pwd'123', 'dasdsa', 'sdfsdfsd');
    it will truncate the password field upto pwd because php will take next ' as ending….how to overcome this problem….can you please clarify me this doubt….??
    thanku..

  11. <?php
    $con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","password","dbname") or die(mysql_error());
    if (mysqli_connect_errno())
      {
      echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
      }
    // Creating User
      $sql = "INSERT INTO `users2`
      (`ID`,
      `Username`,
      `Password`,
      `FirstName`,
      `LastName`) 
      VALUES (NULL,'user','password','fname','lname')";
    // Checking if created
      if (mysqli_query($con,$sql))
      {
      echo "User created successfully </br>";
      }
    else
      {
      echo "Error creating User: " . mysqli_error($con);
      }
    ?>  

    this is for guys "doesn't worked help me !". 🙂  
    didn't worked because there is new versions of mysql…
    and for mysql_connect i typed mysqli , and same on others…
    or maybe you have not finished your script, explame: forgoted ";" or something like that. 

  12. I spent 3 days trying to get this to work and yours is the only example that actually worked when i changed it to my details, thanks a lot, now to just get these fields into a user submittable form 😀

  14. To all the people that it isn't working for use this code in your text editor: 

    <?php
    $accounts = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "password")
    or die(mysql_error()); 
    mysql_select_db("accounts", $accounts);

    $sql="
     INSERT INTO users2 (Username, Password, FirstName, LastName) VALUES('Name', 'Password', 'FirstName', 'LastName')
    ";
    echo $sql;
    if (!mysql_query($sql, $accounts))
    {
    die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
    }
    echo "<h1> 1 record added to database </h1>";
    ?>

    A quick tip for your future studying; the 'echo $sql' shows you the process and if it fails you can fix it, this is called 'debugging' and that simple line will help you vastly.

  19. hi , sorry 2 bother but i have a problem in this video and the last one because  i did everything as u said since the first video i even downloaded the same porgram u showed in the tutorials and am using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit but in the last 2 videos technically i couldn't  even add a group to the ((accounts)) database using php , so i can't even modify it or add values to it, the question is what do u think that the problem is?? thank u so much………….
