Re: DBD::Pg problem - Mailing list pgsql-general

When I have problems like this, I do something like this:
$sql="insert into it_contact (email, to_email,
subject,details,modify,parent) values(
'".$from."','".$to,"','".$subject."','".$body."', now(),'".$parent."')";

Then you dont have to bind params. You can just prepare and execute.

Besides that, you can print the $sql string with the expanded variables
and copy and paste it into psql to see if that gets you a different
error to help debug if it is not already obvious when you see the whole SQL.

Hope this helps.
