php insert problem

<snip>

 $database = pg_connect ("host=localhost dbname=rbak user=nobody") or die("database connection failed");
  $result = pg_exec ($database, "INSERT into employees (emp_name, emp_email) VALUES ('$emp_name','$emp_email')";

  if (!$result) {
        echo "query died\n";
        exit;
  }

</snip>

the above code produces a parse error.  "parse error, unexpected ';' in blah.php on line X"

line X is the $result = pg_exec ($database, "INSERT into employees (emp_name, emp_email) VALUES
('$emp_name','$emp_email')";line.  I've started at this long enough, and it's time for other eyes to look.  any ideas?
similarSELECT queries work just fine.

Hi Dan,

You're missing a close parentheses ")" in the pg_exec line... :)

You need to close your parenthesis after the last double quote.

You're missing a closing  )

$result = pg_exec ($database, "INSERT into employees (emp_name, emp_email)
VALUES ('$emp_name','$emp_email')");

Hi,

It seems you forgot closing the php function arguments with ')':

$result = pg_exec ($database, "INSERT into employees
 (emp_name, emp_email) VALUES ('$emp_name','$emp_email')");

This should work

Should it not be

 $result = pg_exec ($database, "INSERT into employees (emp_name, emp_email) VALUES ('$emp_name','$emp_email');");

Cheers

Hey, dan... are you getting these messages?  It seems we have a consensus.
Do you still get an error?
