    <p>I am using PDO to do prepared queries in php with MySQL. The query executes with no errors but one parameter does not pass it's value properly. It come sup as a blank field, but not NULL. It's really weird as it seems that I entered the code the same as the others which of course work fine. Really frustrating.</p> <pre><code>$f_name = $_POST['f_name']; $l_name = $_POST['l_name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $pass = $_POST['pass']; $address1 = $_POST['address_1']; $address2 = $_POST['address_2']; $suburb = $_POST['suburb']; $city = $_POST['city']; $country = $_POST['country']; $phone = $_POST['phone']; include('db_connect.php'); $stmt = $db_connection-&gt;prepare('INSERT INTO tblUser (userID,fName, lName, email, password, addressLine1, suburb, city, country, phone) VALUES( NULL, :f_name, :l_name, :email, :pass, :address1, :suburb, :city, :country, :phone)'); $stmt-&gt;bindParam(':f_name', $f_name, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt-&gt;bindParam(':l_name', $l_name, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt-&gt;bindParam(':email', $email, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt-&gt;bindParam(':pass', $pass, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt-&gt;bindParam(':address1', $address1, PDO::PARAM_STR); //$stmt-&gt;bindParam(':address2', $address2, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt-&gt;bindParam(':suburb', $suburb, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt-&gt;bindParam(':city', $city, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt-&gt;bindParam(':country', $country, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt-&gt;bindParam(':phone', $phone, PDO::PARAM_STR); try { $stmt-&gt;execute(); print_r($stmt); $result = $stmt-&gt;fetchAll(); } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e; } </code></pre> <p>The output of print_r($_POST); is: Array ( [email] => test@test.com [pass] => pass [pass_confirm] => pass [f_name] => fefs [l_name] => sfasafs [address_1] => sfafsa [address_2] => dsfsafsaf [suburb] => dffdsa [city] => dsffdf [country] => sfaafdsa [phone] => fsaafssaf [submit] => Register )</p> <p>The problem is that the database is populated with a new record but the password field is a blank. I removed hashing to simplify things.</p> <p>Here is the SQL of the user table:</p> <pre><code>CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tbluser` ( `userID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `password` varchar(40) NOT NULL, `email` varchar(60) NOT NULL, `addressLine1` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL, `addressLine2` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL, `suburb` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL, `city` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL, `country` varchar(40) DEFAULT NULL, `phone` varchar(25) DEFAULT NULL, `fName` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL, `lName` varchar(30) NOT NULL, `admin` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', PRIMARY KEY (`userID`), UNIQUE KEY `email` (`email`), UNIQUE KEY `email_3` (`email`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=10 ; </code></pre>

    1. COThe password field is blank, as in, it contains an empty string, correct? What does the `print_r($stmt)` show you?

    2. COIt doesn't actually show the SQL query: PDOStatement Object ( [queryString] => INSERT INTO tblUser (userID,fName, lName, email, password, addressLine1, suburb, city, country, phone) VALUES( NULL, :f_name, :l_name, :email, :pass, :address1, :suburb, :city, :country, :phone) ) Apparently the values are given to MySQL and it's done at that end. I tried setting up the log before but MyQL wouldn't restart. I might try again.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
