How to use Insert into query for joomla 2.5?

Question

I am using query for joomla.

$query = \"INSERT INTO \'#__demo\'( \'id\', \'fname\', \'mname\', \'lname\' ) VALUES ( \'$val\', \'$post[\'fname\']\', \'$post[\         


        

Answer 1

There are two mistakes on your query.

1. You haven't escaped your quotes in $_POST values.

   '$post['fname']'
   //     ^ here and other places
   

2. You are using single quotes ' to represent tables and field names.

    .. INTO '#__demo'( ..       
   //       ^ here and other places
   

Now after removing all such problems. You query becomes:

$query = "INSERT INTO `#__demo` ( `id`, `fname`, `mname`, `lname` ) VALUES ( '$val', '$post[fname]', '$post[Mname]', '$post[Lname]' );";
