Have you created a site on your dreamweaver? Have you try accessing the PHP page using the url? Try this out.

Adesege:
Next time, it's advisable u post a sample code where u nid help. We can't work on abstract.

Let's create a php function, so we can use it multiple times in our project.

<?php
function truncate($text, $chars =150, $terminator=' …'){
$cutPos = $chars - mb_strlen($terminator);

$boundaryPos = mb_strrpos(mb_substr($text,0, mb_strpos($text,' ', $cutPos)),' ');

return mb_substr($text,0, $boundaryPos ===false? $cutPos : $boundaryPos). $terminator;

}

?>

By default, the text will be truncated by 150chars and terminated by "...".

You can edit the terminator variable to a link and the chars variable.

Feel free to let me know if u encountered any problem.
.
EDIT::

USUAGE:

truncate($text,"300","..."

or

truncate($text,"300","<a href='path/to/page'>some text"

The error is explicit. You don't have the said table in your DB.

Hello, am having issues with php as usual

Am creating an application and in the page where people are to register (i.e register.php page) so that their data can be stored into the database is not working.

Actually every thing works well without any error but the values from the form does not get inserted into the database. here is the code after creating the form

//assuming ive selected the right database and the connection is working

<form action="thankyou.php method="post">
// Please no time to start typing the html form abeg
</form>

$username = $_POST['username']; //putting the username the user typed into the form into a variable
$password = $_POST['password']; //same with the password
$firstnamename = $_POST['firstname'];

$query="INSERT INTO user (userid,username,password,name)
VALUES ('','$username','$password','$firstname')";

mysql_query($query);

Now when i fill the form and click on the submit button, the thankyou.php page runs properly and echoes the values from the form but checking the database,nothing gets inserted.

Now the funny thing is that whenever i type the values directly into the sql statement, it works, let me show you

$query="INSERT INTO user (userid,username,password,name)
VALUES ('','ehis','pass','ehinome')";

When i type in the values i want inserted into the form, it works and gets inserted but when i try using variables that contains the values typed into a form, it does not get inserted.

What could be the problem, ive being on this for days. Thanks

OsoDupe:
Pls guys, how do I reduce the number of digits after decimal point?

A7:


Try:

$query="INSERT INTO user (userid, username, password, name) VALUES ('', '".$username."', '".$password."', '".$firstname."'";


Pay attention, the double quotes must not be outside the parenthesis, that space is for the semicolon.

xyluz:


Actually single quote will work, if quote was the problem you should get an error, or a blank page if error reporting was turned off.

Actually, the form you refused to type might be useful.

Here are my suggestions if you haven't solved this issue yet:

Comment out all your processes, do:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);

this is to check that the form input is actually been passed across.

If all form input is displayed, then go ahead to check your database column names and ensure they all match.

If the form input is not displaying, then we know what the problem is...

check that the method and action are set right. Also check that the name of each field matches the respective name in your process page.

if( mysql_num_rows( $query_run)==0 ) {
$mysql = " INSERT INTO ‘users' VALUES( 'name', 'email', 'password', 'username' ) ";
$mysql_run = mysql_query($mysql);


if(mysql_run){
echo ' you don register';
}



}else{
echo 'The username already exist';
}

Adesege:


The interpretation of your code is:

If username does not exists, then do the following code.

What you ought to test for should be

if( mysql_num_rows( $query_run)>=1 ) {
$mysql = " INSERT INTO ‘users' VALUES( 'name', 'email', 'password', 'username' ) ";
$mysql_run = mysql_query($mysql);


if(mysql_run){
echo ' you don register';
}



}else{
echo 'The username already';
}

You will notice there is 1 there instead of 0


Let me know if you have any issue concerning this.

Hi Adesege, I am sorry to bother you with my little troubles, 'cos am back again. I made mistake in my first post about this issue, as I am assessing nairaland using my phone and typing on that phone is not an easy task. I am going to copy the entire codes on my notepad++, as I have try that which you suggested in your reply to my post.
So, here are the codes:




<?php
include 'connect.php';
if (isset($_POST['firstname']) && isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['password']) && isset($_POST['confirmpassword']) && isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['sex'])){

$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$confirmpassword = $_POST['confirmpassword'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$sex = $_POST['sex'];

}

if (!empty($firstname) && !empty($name) && !empty($email) && !empty($password) && !empty($confirmpassword) && !empty($username)){

if ($password!=$confirmpassword){
echo 'password do not match';

}else{
$query = "SELECT username FROM user WHERE username ='$username'";
$query_run = mysql_query($query);

if (mysql_num_rows($query_run)==1){

die("The username already exist!";

}else{
$query = "INSERT INTO user VALUES('', '.$firstname.', '.$name.', '.$email.', '.$password.', '.$confirmpassword.', '.$username.', '.$sex.' )";
$query_run = mysql_query($query);
}
if ($query_run){
echo 'You have been successfully registered.';

}else{

echo 'You could not be registered at this time, try again';

}


}
}else{
echo 'All fields are required';
}

Hello ur script is alittle buggy cause of ur use of single and double quotes. Try this instead

$query = "INSERT INTO user VALUES('', '$firstname', '$name', '$email', '$password', '$confirmpassword', '$username',' $sex')";

The mistake u made is pputting . which means concatenation in php between the sql query will only cause problem if u dont break it will double quote like u statted with. If u started with single quote then wen u concatenate. U end each string with single also.

Adesege:
While you may be correct, I've been busy to rewrite the code after I did before I got blocked, so I just edited what he needs and repost from his post.

So I didn't study it deep down. Just corrected the errors he was facing.

Thanks for pointing it out anyway. It will definitely help anyone experiencing such.

Adesege.
