Hello,

On chapter 6, page 173-175 I get an error in my mysql syntax. I don't know whats wrong with it I have tried several things.

I hope somebody can help me.

This is the error that is displayed.

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') VALUES ( 'Vincent,' , '2002' , '3' , '3' ,

This is the text file:

<?php
//************************************************** ************************************************** ********
//commit add
//************************************************** ************************************************** ********
  $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "kranendonk") or die(mysql_error());
  $select = mysql_select_db("wiley", $link) or die(mysql_error());
  switch( $_GET['action'] ){
    case "add":
  switch( $_GET['type'] ){
    case "movie":
  $sql = "INSERT INTO
      `movie`
    ( `movie_name`,
      `movie_year`,
      `movie_type`,
        `movie_leadactor`,
      `movie_director`,)
      VALUES
    ( '".$_POST['movie_name'].",' ,
      '".$_POST['movie_year']."' ,
      '".$_POST['movie_type']."' ,
      '".$_POST['movie_leadactor']."' ,
      '".$_POST['movie_director']."' )
      ";
    break;
  }
    break;
}
if ( isset( $sql ) && !empty( $sql )){
  echo "<!-".$sql."->";
  $result = mysql_query( $sql ) or die(mysql_error());
?>
  <p align="center" style="color:#FF0000">
    Done. <a href="index.php">Index</a>
  </p>
<?php
  }
?>

If somebody could help me i will be verry happy.

The error is here

 ( 'Vincent,' , '2002' , '3' , '3' ,

You are missing two single quotes.

So it needs to be

 ( 'Vincent', '', '2002' , '3' , '3' ,

since your VALUES have to match the number of columns you specify.

HTH!

Oops I misread your code, actually you have one too many commas.. so it needs to be:

 ( 'Vincent', '2002' , '3' , '3' ,

Or in the context of your code:

HTH!

Heej, thanks for answering on my problem. But that wasn't the problem.

I had a "," to much in my mysql syntax.

      `movie`
    ( `movie_name` ,
      `movie_year` ,
      `movie_type` ,
        `movie_leadactor` ,
      `movie_director`, )

greetings, vincent kranendonk
