I’m trying to add values to a table in phpmyadmin and I get the error: Unknown column ‘…’ in ‘field list’.
Here’s my code:
<?php //preparing the patch to copy the uploaded file $target_path = "images/"; //adding the name of the file, finishing the path $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['image']['name']); //moving the file to the folder if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['image']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else{ echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!"; } //getting input from the form $name = $_POST['game']; $description = $_POST['beschrijving']; //preparing the query to insert the values $query = "INSERT INTO tblGames (name, description, image) VALUES ($name, $description,". $target_path .")"; //opening connection to db $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', ''); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } //selecting a db mysql_select_db("BouncingGiani", $link) or die(mysql_error()); //running the query $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()); //closing the connection mysql_close($link); ?>
so when I enter fds as name in the form on the previous page I get : Unknown column ‘fds’ in ‘field list’. This never happened to me before and I have no idea on what is going on.

I think this
$query = "INSERT INTO tblGames (name, description, image) VALUES ($name, $description,". $target_path .")";
should be
$query = "INSERT INTO tblGames (name, description, image) VALUES ('$name', '$description', '". $target_path ."')";
