I'm trying to enter data into my oracle database table using a php form. When I click submit no data is added. Could someone help me please. I'm new to php/oracle thing.
NOTE: I don't have any problem connecting to the database using php.
Here is the code I'm using:
<?php
// just print form asking for name if none was entered
if( !isset($query)) {
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Name: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=data value=\"$data\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
}
// insert client's name
$query = "INSERT INTO client (name) VALUES ($data)";
// connect to Oracle
$username = "xxxx";
$paswd = "yyyyyy";
$dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
"(HOST=patriot.gmu.edu)(PORT=1521))".
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
$db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff($db_conn);
?>
Thanks for your help. I will also appreciate a better was to do it.
