I am trying to insert email addresses I obtain from a subscriber form into a database, but I am a complete newbie when it comes to PHP. I am getting the following error from my code:
Error: 1064 : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘’ at line 1
Here is my code:
<?php
// Only process the form if $_POST isn't empty
if ( ! empty( $_POST['email'] ) ) {
// Connect to MySQL
$mysqli = new mysqli( 'localhost', USER', 'PASSWORD', 'DATABASE');
// Check connection
if ( $mysqli->connect_error ) {
die( 'Connect Error: ' . $mysqli->connect_errno. ': ' . $mysqli->connect_error );
}
// Insert data
$sql = "INSERT INTO email_list ( email ) VALUES ('{$mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['email'])}'";
$insert = $mysqli->query($sql);
// Print response
if ( $insert ) {
echo "Thank you for your interest.";
} else {
die ("Error: {$mysqli->errno} : {$mysqli->error}");
}
// Close connection
$mysqli->close();
}
?>
All assistance is greatly appreciated
