Re: Two troublesome fields not inserting

Hi all, I seem to be having a problem with getting two fields to insert into a table, the other fields insert but not these two its from a form that is a duplicate, basically I have a workorder that I want to make a copy of, I call it from the db, populate a form in case changes want to be made, and insert with a new unique ID as a new record, it's working great except Two fields will NOT insert and I'm at a loss for why ... the code is big so I will post snippets that I think may be the trouble spots Here is the insert:

    $sql = "INSERT INTO workorders (CreatedDate, Location, WorkOrderName,

AdminID, FormName, Status, Notes) VALUES (";

    $sql .= "Now(), '$Location', '$WorkOrderName', '$AdminID', 'WorkOrder',

'New Order', '$Notes')";

    mysql_query($sql);
    $WorkOrderID = mysql_insert_id();

My immediate guess is either a single quote or a new line is causing the problem. You need to escape your data (use mysql_real_escape_string). -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
