Hi I have been trying to figure this out for hours... Here is the code:
function add_user($data) {
$user_table = USER_TABLE;
$first_name = ($data['first_name']);
$last_name =($data['last_name']);
$email_address = ($data['email_address']);
$drivers_license_id = ($data['drivers_license_id']);
$gender = ($data['gender']);
$password =($data['password']);
$query = "INSERT INTO $user_table (
first_name,
last_name,
email_address,
drivers_license_id,
gender,
password
) VALUES (
'$first_name',
'$last_name',
'$email_address',
'$drivers_license_id',
'$gender',
'$password')";
if (mysqli_query($connection,'$query',MYSQLI_USE_RESULT)) return true;
error_log("Failed to create user: " . mysqli_error($error_get_last));
return false;
I am receiving syntax error. I am not sure if I should return the query to false, or leave it as true. Undefined variable: link in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\etc. on line 122 Notice: Undefined variable: connection in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\etc. on line 122 Warning: mysqli_query() expects at most 3 parameters, 4 given in C:\\xampp\\htdocs
You're passing the string "$query" rather than passing the query itself. Your mysqli_query() should look like:
mysqli_query($connection,$query,MYSQLI_USE_RESULT)
mysqli_query($connection,'$query',MYSQLI_USE_RESULT)
should be mysqli_query($connection,$query,MYSQLI_USE_RESULT)
I should mention this is potentially a very unsafe query. You do not appear to be sanitizing the variables you use, which would allow someone to attack you with sql injection.

Try this code :
function add_user($data) {
$connection = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','database_name');
$query = "INSERT INTO `USER_TABLE` (
`first_name`,
`last_name`,
`email_address`,
`drivers_license_id`,
`gender`,
`password`
) VALUES (
$data['first_name'],
$data['last_name'],
$data['email_address'],
$data['drivers_license_id'],
$data['gender'],
$data['password'])";
if (mysqli_query($connection,'$query',MYSQLI_USE_RESULT))
return true;
error_log("Failed to create user: " . mysqli_error($error_get_last));
return false;
