I am trying to add an "admin" section of my website. Right now I am working on a section to add a new row to my MySQL database.
The first file is my admin.php:
<html>
...
<body>
<form action="add.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="order" />
<input type="text" name="newstatus" />
<input type="submit" value="Add" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
My goal here is to add 2 pieces of data (the table only has 2 columns right now) to the new row.
Then, I have my add.php file:
<?
//declare my connection variables - I'll move these to a secure method later
mysql_connect($servername, $username, $password) or die (mysql_error ());
// Select database
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
// The SQL statement is built
$sql="INSERT INTO $tblname(id, status)VALUES('$order', '$newstatus')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
if($result){
echo "Successful";
echo "<BR>";
echo "<a href='admin.php'>Back to main page</a>";
}
else {
echo mysqli_errno($this->db_link);
}
?>
<?php
// close connection
mysql_close();
?>
Anytime i input any data (non-duplicate of what is already in the table), it gives me an error. If I clear my table completely of all data, it will input once. I am getting a duplicate key error, but my key should be "orders", which is unique every time I input it.
Suggestions?
