Mysql query not inserting into database? - mysql

Question

I am trying to insert data posted from a form into my database using the following MySQL statement but it is producing my error 'Oooops! *** **** ***'
I know there is a connection because before I insert anything I test the users email address to see if it already exists and if it does it redirects the user to login. and this works so if the email doesn't exist in the database then it is suppose to be inserting the form data but it isn't.
* can someone please show me where I am going wrong? I have made sure I am spelling the table names correct and everything and am 100% sure I have posted all my form data correctly.
<?php
session_start();
include("config.php");
include("verify.php");
//retrieve our data from POST

Answer 1

The error may relate to the datatypes of the fields in your table.
In your code there is no conversion of strings to numbers.
If you add the table definition and the exact SQL error to your question more help can be given.

Answer 2

try this..
$sql = "INSERT INTO supplier_registration (id, first_name, last_name, supplier_email, contact_number, mobile_number, postcode, address1, address2, town, company_name, company_reg, date) VALUES ('', '$firstname','$lastname','$email2', '$contactnum', '$mobnum', '$postcode', '', '', '', '$compname', '$compreg', now())";
$result2 = mysql_query($sql);

Answer 3

It's because date in your query is a Reserved Keyword. so you'll have to put in [] like this [date]
