MYSQL Set-up with PHP and Basic Ouput

**Alby** · 12-13-2009, 07:18 PM

Hi,
I am trying to set up a page where people can register and it will be stored in mysql database and then another page that outputs the information and confirms that they had registered. Pretty simple right? Right now I am testing on my computer using XAMPP. I have one file "register.php" that has the forms for the user to register and another "handleinput.php" that should store the data and output. It is not working and it appears that [code] mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error); [icode] is the line where I am running into issues. My website is accessable through my browser at http://puttforpresents.local, I want my database to be named pfp and my table to be named golfers. I need to store first name, last name, email, phone, and handicap. I am trying to have a unique identifier associated with each listing in the table. Please help me identify my issue.

register.php code:

Run the following code to create your table, and then discard:

PHP Code:


<?php



$dbhost = "puttforpresents.local"; 

$dbuser = "root"; 

$dbpass = ""; 

$dbname = "pfp";



if (!mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass))

    die("Can't connect to database");



if (!mysql_select_db($dbname))

    die("Can't select database");



mysql_query("CREATE TABLE golfers(

id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 

PRIMARY KEY(id),

firstname VARCHAR (50),

lastname VARCHAR (50),

email VARCHAR (50),

phone VARCHAR (30),

handicap INT)")

 or die(mysql_error());

 

mysql_close;



?>
