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 'option (name) values ('name3')' at line 1
Thank you..,
Html Code Is:
PHP Code Is:
The above php code will help you to fetch data from the selected option into php variable $a. From there on ou can insert your data into the query simply as you inserted before.
Try this code, I changed the
nameofselecttonamesanduse backticks around table name
you have to change the name of your table (
option).Optionis a mysql keyword and so it will cause syntax error while executing queries withphp.Change the table name to
option_testor something and make appropriate changes in your php code too. Then it will work.Also start using
mysqli_orPDOsincemysql_has been deprecated from PHP5 onwards.in your code
mysql_query("insert into option (name) values ('$name')",$c);here is no need to add connection variable to that function.you can just write
mysql_query("insert into option (name) values ('$name')")or die(mysql_error());reason for calling function mysql_error() is that you came to know what type of error is coming..and another thing is you should change the name of your table from option to option1 or anything else...then it will work fine..no worry...:)
