Okay so this is my last part of the news system for my site and I have everything else cleared up, but I don't see anything wrong with this code to insert the new posts. Yes the post page looks like regurgitated ass and rectangles and I have not added in the security to it yet but was trying to get it to post before i went on and did more. It unfortunately hates me and I can't tell why.
function (Yes totally am using the one he used in the tutorial figured if anything its more secure despite i will be the only one posting so I don't think it could be the function.)
[syntax=php]
function add_post($name, $title, $body) {
$name = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities($name));
$title = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities($title));
$body = mysql_real_escape_string(nl2br(htmlentities($body)));
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `posts`(`post_user`, `post_title`, `post_body`, `post_date`) VALUES ('{$name}','{$title}','{$body}', NOW ())");
}
[/syntax]
post page(testscript is the one the function is in, and that commented out echo I used to test to ensure the post info was getting copied and from what i saw it was.
[syntax=php]
<?php
include('connection.php');
include('testscript.php');
if (isset($_POST[`user`], $_POST[`title`], $_POST[`body`])){
add_post($_POST[`user`], $_POST[`title`], $_POST[`body`]);
//echo $_POST['user'], $_POST['title'], $_POST['body']
header(`location: ...\indextest.php`);
die();
}
?>
