This has been resolved thanks to raina77ow. The from and to were messing the prepared statement up.
I have looked over this for the past 6 hours and I can not get this parametrized statement to work. However i have other parametrized statements that are working which look exactly like this. I know there is something wrong with my prepared statement but I cant seem to find the error. Can someone with a pair of fresh eyes help me?
function insert_event($post_id, $title, $location, $from, $to, $description)
{
//open connection to database
$mysqli = db_connect();
//insert
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO Events (".
"postID, ".
"title, ".
"location, ".
"from, ".
"to, ".
"description) ".
"VALUES (".
"'$post_id', ".
"?, ".
"?, ".
"?, ".
"?, ".
"?)");
$stmt->bind_param("sssss", $title, $location, $from, $to, $description);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
// close connection
$mysqli->close();
}
I have even tried this
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO Events (postID, title, location, from, to, description) VALUES ($post_id, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
sorry if its so easy to see whats wrong
There are two reserved keywords in your prepare, they are from
and to
so just surround them with backtick to let mysql understand they are fields
"location, ".
"`from`, ".
"`to`, ".
"description) ".
