Add User script "Could not execute query"

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

This should be an easy script but I can't get it to run. Can someone please help me?

<html><head><title>Adding a User</title></head>
<body>
<?php

$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$first_name = $_POST['firstname'];
$last_name = $_POST['lastname'];
$user_email = $_POST['useremail'];

if( (!$first_name) or (!$last_name) or (!$user_email) )
{
$form ="Please enter all new user details...";
$form.="<form action="$self"";
$form.=" method="post">First Name: ";
$form.="<input type="text" name="firstname"";
$form.=" value="$first_name">
Last Name: ";
$form.="<input type="text" name="lastname"";
$form.=" value="$last_name">
Email: ";
$form.="<input type="text" name="useremail"";
$form.=" value="$user_email">
";
$form.="<input type="submit" value="Submit">";
$form.="</form>";
echo($form);
}
else
{
#connect to MySQL
$conn = @mysql_connect("localhost","xxxx","xxxx")
or die("Could not connect to MySQL");
#select a database
$db = @mysql_select_db("xxxx",$conn)
or die("Could not select database");
#create the SQL query
$sql = "insert into tablename (firstname, lastname, useremail)
values ("$first_name",'"$last_name","$user_email" )";
#execute the query
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$conn)
or die("Could not execute query");
if($result)
{ echo("New user $user_email added"); }
}
?>
</body></html>
