I'm sorry this is probably a stupid question, but I'm new to this and I couldn't find an answer on google. This code is giving me two errors:
Warning: mysql_query() expects parameter 2 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\Music Collection\submitmusic.php on line 27
Warning: mysql_error() expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given in C:\xampp\htdocs\Music Collection\submitmusic.php on line 29
Not sure how to fix this please help me.
<html>
<head>
<title> Music Collection </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$con = "mysql_connect ('localhost','root','','music')";
// Check Connection
if (mysql_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect: " . mysql_error();
}
else
{
$title = $_POST['title'];
$artist = $_POST['artist'];
$album = $_POST['album'];
$location = $_POST['location'];
$media = $_POST['media'];
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO entries (Title, Artist, Album, Location, Media) VALUES ('$title','$artist','$album','$location','$media')");
if (!mysql_query($con,$sql))
{
die ('Error: ' . mysql_error($con));
}
else
{
echo "record added!";
}
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
</body>
</html>
your connect is false. Should look like this:
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","","music");
Remove the double quotes around:
$con = "mysql_connect ('localhost','root','','music')";
You are also calling mysql_query twice, unless you want two inserts you probably want to do something like this:
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO entries (Title, Artist, Album, Location, Media) VALUES ('$title','$artist','$album','$location','$media')");
if (!sql)
...
change your statment to
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO entries (Title, Artist, Album, Location, Media) VALUES ('$title','$artist','$album','$location','$media')",$con);
First remove double quote around:
$con = "mysql_connect ('localhost','root','','music')";
i.e
$con = mysql_connect ('localhost','root','','music');
And then change the following line
if (!mysql_query($con,$sql))
to
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
because mysql_query's first parameter needs to be sql query and second database identifier.
rest of the code is fine
