SQL Query Works, But Not In PHP

Question

I tested and successfully used this SQL code below to input data into a database.

INSERT INTO hraps (id, firstname, lastname, gender, year_of_1st_rappel, count_offset_proficiency, count_offset_operational, spotter) values(111111, 'World', 'Hello', 'Male', '2007', '1', '2', '0')

Now I'm trying to integrate it into PHP like this:

 $query = "INSERT INTO hraps (firstname, lastname, gender, year_of_1st_rappel, count_offset_proficiency, count_offset_operational, spotter) "
."values('".$this->firstname."','".$this->lastname."','".$this->gender."','".$this->year_of_1st_rappel."',".$this->count_offset_proficiency.",".$this->count_offset_operational.",".$this->spotter.") returning id into :id";

$dbid = "";
$binds = array();
$binds[] = array("name" => ":id", "value" => &$dbid, "length" => 128);
//echo $query;              
$result = mydb::cxn()->query($query, $binds);
$this->id = $dbid;

But nothing gets inserted and I'm not getting any error. The only difference is that in this one I'm defining id as $dbid, and before I hard-coded it in the "values" section of the query.

Can somebody please point out why this code is not working successfully? Thank you.

Answer 1

just remove "." before VALUES . try this

and you missed mysqli_query()

   $query= "INSERT INTO hraps (firstname, lastname, gender, year_of_1st_rappel, count_offset_proficiency, count_offset_operational, spotter) 
  values ('".$this->firstname."','".$this->lastname."','".$this->gender."','".$this->year_of_1st_rappel."',".$this->count_offset_proficiency.",".$this->count_offset_operational.",".$this->spotter.") returning id into :id ";

edit : if it Oracle then use this

    $compiled = oci_parse($db, $query); //-- $db is your connection to database variable
    oci_bind_by_name($compiled, ':id', $id);  // --your id
    oci_execute($compiled);

Answer 2

The two queries above are not equal, as they use different data types (int v string).

The first casts as string, the second casts as int. Change the INSERT query to read:

$query = "INSERT INTO hraps (firstname, lastname, gender, year_of_1st_rappel, count_offset_proficiency, count_offset_operational, spotter) "
."values('".$this->firstname."','".$this->lastname."','".$this->gender."','".$this->year_of_1st_rappel."','".$this->count_offset_proficiency."','".$this->count_offset_operational."','".$this->spotter."') returning id into :id";`
