4,309 PointsSQL Query not working
This isnt throwing an error, or putting anything in the database. Anybody see anything wrong??
$sql = "INSERT INTO forum_post (post_author, post_author_id, otid, date_time, type, section_title, section_id, thread_title, post_body) VALUES ('$post_author', '$member_id', $tid , CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 'b', '$forum_section_title', '$forum_section_id', '$post_title', '$post_body')";
$query = mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));

6,127 PointsI am guessing that each values the columns need to be enclosed with parentheses
See the MySQL docs here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/insert.html
Edit: Scratch that, the SQL looks good.
Edit2: Ok so, reading up on it, maybe you can replace the php die method, that will completely stop the process. You can replace it with other error triggers and I found a great answer on Stackoverflow that goes over this issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15318368/mysqli-or-die-does-it-have-to-die . That way you might find the error that you are getting?
