No I dohave that error message kicked out, I put it there as a test to try and isolate the offending code block, which it did. Now I just have to figure out how to get it to work. I understand your point with the GET so here is what I am trying to do in the big picture. I have a form with a drop down menu, for now, where the user picks a value. This value is sent using AJAX(XMLHttpRequest) to the php script. I want the script to grab this value, run the prepared query with it and return a table structure again, using AJAX( innerHTML). I figured I would start small and try to get it working with just simple values and then would move on to passing the values to the script. On the INSERT statements, I posted one below, I just bind the value and then set it and it works fine with no errors or warnings, thats why I am still scratching my head over the query. //insert values into the default series table $d_series = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO defaultseries (defaultseries, publisher) VALUES (:defaultseries, :publisher)"); //SQL statement $d_series->bindParam(':defaultseries', $defaultseries); //bind the prepared value to a php variable $d_series->bindParam(':publisher', $publisher);//bind the prepared value to a php variable //the first row to be inserted $defaultseries = 'Batman'; //declare the php variable $publisher = 'DC Comics'; //declare the php variable $d_series->execute(); //execute the prepared statement
