The code below takes in information from a form and sends it to mysql. It did so successfully (for category,contents,date, and userid) but recently I added a new column in the database called 'seclevel' that needs to be filled as well. I'm not seeing a logical reason why the addition of seclevel has broken the code, and I receive no errors in the log. It's just a user selected integer from 1-9 so unless I'm using $_POST['seclevel'] incorrectly I'm stumped. Any ideas?
send_post.php
<?php
include 'db_connect.php';
include 'functions.php';
sec_session_start();
$userId = $_SESSION['user_id'];
if(login_check($mysqli) == true) {
//Connecting to sql db.
$connect=mysqli_connect("localhost","mylogin","mypass","mydb");
header("Location: http://somekindasite.com/index_3.php");
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo "Fail"; } else { echo "Success"; }
//Sending form data to sql db.
$stmt = $mysqli -> prepare('INSERT INTO opwire (category, contents, date, userid, seclevel)
VALUES (?,?,NOW(),?,?)');
$stmt -> bind_param('ssi', $_POST['category'], $_POST['contents'], $userId, $_POST['seclevel']);
$stmt -> execute();
$stmt -> close();
} else {
echo 'Access denied. <br/>';
}
?>
Here is the relevant form that submits to send_post.php

MySQLi's parameter binding has two parts, and you missed one of them. You need to add the type s
for string or i
for integer (or d
double, b
blob) into the first argument to bind_param()
.
// Looks like you're adding another integer...
$stmt -> bind_param('ssii', $_POST['category'], $_POST['contents'], $userId, $_POST['seclevel']);
//---------------------^^^
Since mysqli_stmt::bind_param()
returns FALSE
on failure , you ought to put in some error checking.
if ($stmt->bind_param('ssii', $_POST['category'], $_POST['contents'], $userId, $_POST['seclevel'])) {
$stmt->execute();
}
else {
echo $stmt->error;
}
I'll also note that I would expect bind_param()
to have issued a fatal error. When developing code, it's always recommended to crank up error reporting and show errors on screen.
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
