@Pekr: could you tell me after decoding values what is the next step?
i decoded my values which i got from the form! my cgi and html are working ,plz tell me what should i do?
TomBon
afsa, did you succesfull echo back the decoded form values to the browser andreas told you before?
TomBon
if so, you have to add your mysql connection parameters to your script., open a mysql port and do an sql insert to your table.
afsanehsamim
yes TomBon ,i did it ... but there are no values in my database.
TomBon
can you post your insert command here?
afsanehsamim
insert db ["insert into data1(oneone,onetwo,onethree,twoone,twothree,threeone,threetwo,threethree) values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)" ]
i know it dose not have any value
i do not know what should i write
BrianH
You are missing the actual values to insert. Put those in the block after the SQL string.
TomBon
yes, I see. parameterized inserts are ok but perhaps better make a rejoin.
Andreas
insert db ["insert into sql-tablename (sql-fieldname) values (?)" cgi-values/cgi-fieldname]
TomBon
afsa, the last one from andreas is fine.
BrianH
TomBon, don't encourage people to use rejoin for SQL queries. Definitely use parameterized queries. Building your own queries with rejoin is a sure recipe for SQL injection.
Andreas
i suggest to get the html+cgi echoing working first, then getting a minimal script that inserts a value into your database working, and then putting the two pieces together by extending your "echo" cgi to insert into the database
TomBon
brian, made this for year without any problems. also good for beginners.
checking for proper values and a corerct sql syntax should be always done even when parameterized.
BrianH
Nice to hear, TomBon. Nonetheless, such checking is exactly what parameterized queries do, and I often have to fix errors made by other developers who don't use them. Plus, parameterized queries are a lot quicker on most databases because the query plan gets cached.
It is always a bad idea to suggest to newbie programmers that they not use parameterized queries.
TomBon
well better first to make him clear whats going up, then make the final. I think he is confused by this examples. btw, how parameterized queries preventing sql injection if not serverside?
BrianH
Non-parameterized queries are an advanced topic for experienced developers, though also the subject of the worst coding horror stories :)
