Inserting string Values into Table
ok, I'm having trouble getting the following to Parse because the Value for $insert_item is a string that contains commas (,)

Code:
$sql = "INSERT INTO $inv_item (invoicenumber, qty, item) VALUES
('$insert_invoicenumber', '$insert_qty', '$insert_item')";


any suggestions?

I don't think comma would be a problem... can you echo your sql statement and check what values are there?
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. $sql = "INSERT INTO $inv_item (invoicenumber, qty, item) VALUES
  3. ('$insert_invoicenumber', '$insert_qty', '$insert_item')";
  4. echo $sql;
what does it output?

RE: Inserting string Values into Table
ok heres the code i have:

Code:
<?

if ( $_POST[add_invoicenumber] and $_POST[add_qty] and $_POST[add_item] )

{


$db_name = "steelskindata";


$connection = @mysql_connect("localhost", "steelskin", "winter")
or die (mysql_error());
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or
die(mysql_error());


$insert_invoicenumber = $_POST[add_invoicenumber];
$insert_qty = $_POST[add_qty];
$insert_item = "(mysql_escape_string($_POST[add_item]))";


$sql = "INSERT INTO $inv_item (invoicenumber, qty, item) VALUES
('$insert_invoicenumber', '$insert_qty', '$insert_item')";
echo "$sql";

$result = @mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die(mysql_error());


exit;
 
}

?>


and the error i get reads:

INSERT INTO (invoicenumber, qty, item) VALUES ('36', '55', '(mysql_escape_string(18 gauge , 1/4 length , BB , NOTES: ))')You have an error in your SQL syntax near '(invoicenumber, qty, item) VALUES ('36', '55', '(mysql_escape_string(18 gauge , ' at line 1

Run this code and see...
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. <?
  3. $number = addslashes($_POST['add_invoicenumber']);
  4. $qty = addslashes($_POST['add_qty']);
  5. $item = addslashes($_POST['add_item']);
  6.  
  7. if ($number && $qty && $item)
  8. {
  9.     $db_name = "steelskindata";
  10.     $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "steelskin", "winter") or die (mysql_error());
  11.     mysql_select_db($db_name, $connn) or die(mysql_error());
  12.     
  13.     $sql = "INSERT INTO $inv_item(invoicenumber,qty,item) VALUES('$number','$qty','$item')";
  14.     
  15.     $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
  16.  
  17.     exit;   
  18. }
  19. ?>
