Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 21.2012

Hello,

I have a sign up form where their are 5different text boxes for the address.

House name/number & street,
City,
County,
Postcode,
Country

I want to insert these 5 fields into 1 MySQL Table column ‘address’.

I have tried loads of different ways to insert them although non are seeming to work.

below is my example:

[code=php]
$cw=mysql_query(“update users(address) values(‘$firstlineaddress $city $county $postcode $country’) where userid=’$userid’;”);
[/code]

I would be extremely grateful for any help towards this.

Many Thanks

@bionoidFeb 21.2012 — I am assuming that the variables being used in the statement were previously defined:

[code=php]$firstlineaddress = $_POST['firstlineaddress'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
//etc[/code]

If you want to do an update you should write it like this:

[code=php]$cw = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET address = '$firstlineaddress $city $county $postcode $country' WHERE userid = '$userid'");[/code]

If you want to do an insert, write it more like this:

[code=php]$cw = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (address) VALUES ('$firstlineaddress $city $county $postcode $country')");[/code]

I will ask about how the data is being escaped if this is what you're looking for.
