henryp0p Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I've followed the tutorial as closely as possible, yet continue to have problems with this particular script. I am receiving the following error message on an INSERT clause, despite all the columns lining up with my table. An error occurred in script 'C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php' on line 63: Query: INSERT INTO users (email, pass, first_name, last_name, active, registration_date) VALUES ('test@test.com', SHA1('test'), 'test', 'test', '125b7b06df899c3ab98189e3077f5f0c', NOW() ) Would anyone be able to point me to what is going wrong here? Here is the full script: <?php # Script 18.6 - register.php // This is the registration page for the site. require ('includes/config.inc.php'); $page_title = 'Register'; include ('includes/header.html'); if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { // Handle the form. // Need the database connection: require (MYSQL); // Trim all the incoming data: $trimmed = array_map('trim', $_POST); // Assume invalid values: $fn = $ln = $e = $p = FALSE; // Check for a first name: if (preg_match ('/^[A-Z \'.-]{2,20}$/i', $trimmed['first_name'])) { $fn = mysqli_real_escape_string ($dbc, $trimmed['first_name']); } else { echo '<p class="error">Please enter your first name!</p>'; } // Check for a last name: if (preg_match ('/^[A-Z \'.-]{2,40}$/i', $trimmed['last_name'])) { $ln = mysqli_real_escape_string ($dbc, $trimmed['last_name']); } else { echo '<p class="error">Please enter your last name!</p>'; } // Check for an email address: if (filter_var($trimmed['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { $e = mysqli_real_escape_string ($dbc, $trimmed['email']); } else { echo '<p class="error">Please enter a valid email address!</p>'; } // Check for a password and match against the confirmed password: if (preg_match ('/^\w{4,20}$/', $trimmed['password1']) ) { if ($trimmed['password1'] == $trimmed['password2']) { $p = mysqli_real_escape_string ($dbc, $trimmed['password1']); } else { echo '<p class="error">Your password did not match the confirmed password!</p>'; } } else { echo '<p class="error">Please enter a valid password!</p>'; } if ($fn && $ln && $e && $p) { // If everything's OK... // Make sure the email address is available: $q = "SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE email='$e'"; $r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q) or trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc)); if (mysqli_num_rows($r) == 0) { // Available. // Create the activation code: $a = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)); // Add the user to the database: $q = "INSERT INTO users (email, pass, first_name, last_name, active, registration_date) VALUES ('$e', SHA1('$p'), '$fn', '$ln', '$a', NOW() )"; $r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q) or trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc)); if (mysqli_affected_rows($dbc) == 1) { // If it ran OK. // Send the email: $body = "Thank you for registering at <whatever site>.

Larry Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I assume line 63 runs the INSERT. Did it not report a MySQL error? Have you tried executing the query directly using phpMyAdmin or the mysql client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
