$message .= 'You forgot the content';
}else{
$content = $_POST['content'];
}
}
if($subject && $content){
require_once('mysql_connect.php');
				
$query = "INSERT INTO calendar (date, subject, content, image)
VALUES ('$date1 . $date2 . $date3' , '$subject' , '$content' , '$image')";
$result = @mysql_query($query);
				
if($result){
echo 'Event successfully entered!!!';
exit();
}else{
$message = 'System Error, Contact Nathan, Sorry;)';

system · August 11, 2004, 7:42am

<?php

I re wrote it slightly - see if this helps:


<?php
require_once('mysql_connect.php');

if (isset($_POST['submit'])){	
	
	$subject = trim($_POST['subject']);
	$content = trim($_POST['content']);
	
	if($subject = ""){		
		echo = 'You forgot the subject';
		@mysql_close();	
		exit();
	}
	if($content = ""){		
		echo = 'You forgot the content';
		@mysql_close();	
		exit();
	}
	
	$sql = "INSERT INTO calendar (date, subject, content, image) VALUES ('$date1 . $date2 . $date3' , '$subject' , '$content' , '$image')";
	if ($result = @mysql_query($sql)){
		echo 'Event successfully entered!!!';
		@mysql_close();	
		exit();
	}else{
		echo = 'System Error, Contact Nathan, Sorry ;)';
		@mysql_close();	
	}
					 
}else{
	echo = 'Please Try Again';
}

?>

Note when using $_SERVER[’’]; $_POST[’’]; $_GET[’’]; These are all uppercase. You were using $_Post, which is not the same as $_POST.

What are the contents of the require and include files? Make sure to change the values of the password, db, etc. of the db require. Don’t want those going public…

system · August 12, 2004, 12:58am

system · August 12, 2004, 1:42am

I had a goof in there, not sure if that is the error or not.

that code doesnt work either, defaults to ‘please try again’

system · August 12, 2004, 6:06am

Where is the form?

system · August 12, 2004, 3:01pm

its on the first post of this thread

system · August 12, 2004, 3:14pm

Try using $_POST[‘Submit’] instead of $_POST[‘submit’]

system · August 12, 2004, 4:31pm

Ok that worked, but now im getting the else statement ‘system error please contact nathan’

system · August 12, 2004, 6:42pm

How are you connecting to the database? I am assuming it’s in the required page, but I can’t see it to review it…

system · August 12, 2004, 11:45pm

yes is the mysql_connect page, i cant show it to you sorry, passwords on it
