Error querying database.

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I get the above error when trying to insert some values to a datatable.
Here's the code :

Code: $dbc = mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1:3306', 'root', 'xxxx', 'aliendatabase')
or die('Error connecting to MySQL server.');

$query = "INSERT INTO aliens_abduction (first_name, last_name, " .
"when_it_happened, how_long, how_many, alien_description, " .
"what_they_did, fang_spotted, other, email) " .
"VALUES ('myFirstName', 'myLastName', '5 years ago', '2 years', '7 aliens', " .
"green eyes', 'we talked', " .
"'yes', 'none@gmail.com')";

$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
or die('Error querying database.');

mysqli_close($dbc);

Any ideas on what am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much
