Inserting data to table (mysqli insert)

Question

I am having this following code, I am getting an error and I can't see where the problem is:

<?php

mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","web_table");
mysql_select_db("web_table") or die(mysql_error());

if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {

  echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();

}
echo "<p> Connection Successful!"

mysqli_query('INSERT INTO web_formitem (ID, formID, caption, key, sortorder, type, enabled, mandatory, data) VALUES (105, 7, Tip izdelka (6), producttype_6, 42, 5, 1, 0, 0)');


echo "<p>Insert successfull";

?>

I think the error is somewhere in line 13, that's mysqli_query('insert...

Can anyone help with this?

Answer 1

Here, the first parameter should be a connection string:

$link = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","web_table");

mysqli_query($link,"INSERT INTO web_formitem (`ID`, `formID`, `caption`, `key`, `sortorder`, `type`, `enabled`, `mandatory`, `data`)
VALUES (105, 7, 'Tip izdelka (6)', 'producttype_6', 42, 5, 1, 0, 0)") 
or die(mysqli_error($link));

Note: Add backticks ` for the column names in your insert query because some of your column names are the reserved words.
