unable to connect php to mysql using xampp
Posted: 20. March 2013 19:25I am having trouble connecting to mysql database. The page loads fine with my 3 text boxes. When I populate the text boxes and click 'register' nothing happens. What I'm expecting to see is '1 row inserted' and for the data to be populated in mysql.
Can anybody HELP! Thanks!
Here is my code below...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<form method="POST" action="insert.php">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" /> <br />
Email: <input type="text" name="email" /><br />
Password: <input type="password" name="password" /><br />
<p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="register" /><br />
</form>
</body>
</html>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if($name && $email && $password){
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die("We could not connect!");
mysql_select_db("testing");
mysql_query("INSERT INTO accounts(name,email,password) VALUES('$name','$email','$password')");
$registered = mysql_affected_rows();
echo "$registered was inserted";
}else{
echo "you have to complete the form!";
}
mysql_close();
?>
