Well I am trying to have players be able to create characters on my game, on a players account.

Everytime I try to make a new character on my account, all I get is "could not register."

No error or anything.

Here's the full code for this page.

I've debugged the error into this code.

Code: Select all

elseif ($type == "bronze" )
{
if ($playerinfo3['credits'] < 1000)
{
 echo "You do not have enough Credits to create this Warrior!";
  echo "<p><center>You can buy more credits <a href='store.php'>Here</a></center></p>";
  exit;
}
else
{
$bronze = 1000;

$SQL = "INSERT into warriors(pid, pname,name, speed,power,magic,range,defense,vision,luck,health,agility,exper,level,mana,type,hpoints,maxhpoints,maxmana,gold) VALUES ('$pid','$pname','$warrior','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','0','1','10','$type','10','10','10','250')";
mysql_query($SQL) or die("could not register2");

$updateplayer="update players set credits=credits-'$bronze' where name='$player'";
  mysql_query($updateplayer) or die("Could not update player");
} }

In the block of code that generates the "could not register" error (the INSERT query to add the new character), you need to remove the single-quotes around the numbers, such as the 1's and any other plain numbers. You only add the single-quotes around strings, such as names.

Tried that, still getting the "Could not register2"

Code is now like this

Code: Select all

elseif ($type == "bronze" )
{
if ($playerinfo3['credits'] < 1000)
{
 echo "You do not have enough Credits to create this Warrior!";
  echo "<p><center>You can buy more credits <a href='store.php'>Here</a></center></p>";
  exit;
}
else
{
$bronze = 1000;

$SQL = "INSERT into warriors(pid, pname, name, speed, power, magic, range, defense, vision, luck, health, agility, exper, level, mana, type, hpoints, maxhpoints, maxmana, gold) VALUES ('$pid','$pname','$warrior',1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,1,10,'$type',10,10,10,250)";
mysql_query($SQL) or die("could not register2");

$updateplayer="update players set credits=credits-'$bronze' where name='$player'";
  mysql_query($updateplayer) or die("Could not update player");
} }

You should be sure to turn on error reporting at the top of your script:

Code: Select all

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Now go right above the INSERT query, and make an ECHO statement that prints out all of the values you are inserting into the database. For the value titles, use the names of the values you are inserting. For example:

Code: Select all

echo "pid: ".$pid."<br />pname: ".$pname."<br /> name: ".$warrior."<br /> speed: 1";

...etc. You can just type the literal numeric values right into the string, but be sure you get them from the SQL INSERT statement. This is called a "variable dump" and it is probably the most used PHP debugging method, which you will start with on almost every problem.

This will show you exactly what you are attempting to insert each time, and often that can show you the problem. Something in that query is causing a problem.

Variables print just fine

pid: 2
pname: MikeD
name: test
speed: 1 bronzecould not register2

I've double checked the spelling for each insert. Really unsure of what's causing it.

You placed the:

Code: Select all

error_reporting(E_ALL);

right?

Also at the end of could not register2, look like this:

Code: Select all

("Could not register2" . mysql_error());

That way you can see where the error is coming from, and let us know...

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 'range, defense, vision, luck, health, agility, exper, level, mana, hpoints, maxh' at line 1

Oh snap! I bet you "range" is a MySQL reserved word. Put back-ticks ( ` which is just to the left of the 1 key, right below the Escape key) around all of the names of the columns in your INSERT statement or consider changing the name of that column.

Code: Select all

$SQL = "INSERT into warriors(`pid`, `pname`, `name`, `speed`, `power`, `magic`, `range`, `defense`, `vision`, `luck`, `health`, `agility`, `exper`, `level`, `mana`, `type`, `hpoints`, `maxhpoints`, `maxmana`, `gold`) VALUES ('$pid','$pname','$warrior',1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,1,10,'$type',10,10,10,250)";
mysql_query($SQL) or die("could not register2");

I don't think "type" is a reserved word, but I guess it could be in there somewhere, too.

EDIT: Yep, "range" is a reserved word. But "type" is not.

EDIT2: Oh, and just for informative purposes, the reasoning behind using back-ticks is so that you can use reserve words or words that have spaces in them for column names.

This fixed it, you are awesome!

Thanks for all the help guys! Truly appreciate it.

you will have to change the word range. Jack is right, although the ticks (`) doesn't matter, the single quote (') works just fine, but that word will have to change!!
