    <p><strong>Edit: If you're coming here from Google, this issue is a result of the word <code>int</code> being a reserved keyword in PHP.</strong> See the end of the accepted answer.</p> <p>I'm still learning PHP/MySQL and for the life of me I can't figure out what's wrong with my code.</p> <p>I'm trying to take some data from an html page and add it to a table in my database. I'm passing the data with a <code>GET</code> request, then retrieving it with PHP's <code>$_GET</code>.</p> <p>I've tested this and the variables are passed correctly to the PHP script but they don't appear in the database. The script dies on this line: <code>mysql_query($query) or die('data entry failed');</code></p> <pre><code>$database='a9293297_blog'; $con = mysql_connect('mysql2.000webhost.com','my_username','my_password'); mysql_select_db($database,$con) or die('failed to connect to database'); $username = $_GET['username']; $password = $_GET['password']; $charName = $_GET['charName']; $sex = $_GET['sex']; $class = $_GET['class']; $race = $_GET['race']; $str = $_GET['str']; $sta = $_GET['sta']; $dex = $_GET['dex']; $int = $_GET['int']; $cha = $_GET['cha']; $query = "INSERT INTO Players (username, password, charName, sex, class, race, str, sta, dex, int, cha) VALUES ('" . $username . "', '" . $password . "', '" . $charName . "', '" . $sex . "', '" . $class . "', '" . $race . "', '" . $str . "', '" . $sta ."', '" . $dex . "', '" . $int . "', '". $cha . "')"; mysql_query($query) or die('data entry failed'); // Fails here mysql_close($con); </code></pre>

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.

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