What is wrong with my ask.php Syntax?

So I modified the script as I was instructed earlier, but I am still getting a blank page when I run the HTML form. What is wrong here?

UPDATE 2: I get the following error now.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/o/m/o/omorgan/html/dimephysics/adviseme/ask.php on line 32

<?php

At a bare minimum you need quotes around your array indexes on this line:

if (!isset($_POST[name]) || !isset($_POST[question]))

Make it

if (!isset($_POST['name']) || !isset($_POST['question']))

Also, check your error level (can't give you a link at the moment, in a bit of a rush), PHP should be warning you about this.


try changing

if (!isset($_POST[name]) || !isset($_POST[question]))

to

if (!isset($_POST['name']) || !isset($_POST['question']))


Place this at the top of the script:

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

This should let you know whats going on.


Given your error message, it's obvious that your query is failing. You've supressed errors with @ on it, so the or die(...) never kicks in.

Your $table_name in the query is undefined, so the query looks like

INSERT INTO (name, question) ...

which is incorrect SQL.

The two major fixes you need:

  1. Remove the @ supression on mysql_query(). It is almost NEVER acceptable to supress errors, particularly when dealing with a database.
  2. Define $table_name in your script, or change the variable inside the query string to a proper table name.


First of all, don't check with isset. Since $_POST is always generated you should be using !empty().

Remove @'s before mysql_* commands, this makes your script slow and suppresses helpful errors.

And you are having issues because you don't have table variable set, $table_name needs to be defined.

If you are inserting questions to a table named 'questions' simply change your SQL to:

//Insert data into database
$sql = "INSERT INTO `questions` (name, question)
             VALUES ('$name', '$question')";


You forgot add a semicolon *;* in line no. 30

it should be

   $db = mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die(mysql_error());

instead of

  $db = mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die(mysql_error())


You need to end this line:

$db = mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die(mysql_error())

change it to:

$db = mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
