How to add data to mysql by url

newbie at php here, basically I wish to know how to add data to my mysql table manually using the url.

For example, say I have a table called users which has 3 fields called 'ID', 'username' and 'password'. I wish to add data to the table like this:

http://localhost/register.php?id=1@username=bob@password=123@act=register (I'm not sure if this is entirely right) but yeah something like that.

Any help on how to do this would be much appreciated!

mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');

mysql_select_db('database');

mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (id, username, password) VALUES ('".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['username'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['password'])."')");

use

$id  = $_REQUEST['id'];
$username = $_REQUEST['username'];
$password = $_REQUEST['password'];
$act   = $_REQUEST['act'];

to get values from url

Then usual MySQL

Insert Query

refer

First of all, if you're saving large data, better to use POST, rather than GET. But if you really need to send data to the server with URL, your URL should be change as below:

You should use '&' in place of '@'

http://localhost/register.php?id=1&username=bob&password=123&act=register

In Server side, you can retrieve the data by following:

$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);

$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['username']); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['password']);

$sql = mysql_query('INSERT INTO table_name (id, username, password) VALUES ('.$id.', '.$username.', '.$password.'); if(!$sql){ echo "Error " . mysql_error(); }else{ echo "Success"; }

$query = "insert into users (username, password) values ('".$_GET['username']."','".$_GET['password']."'";

That would be to insert a user based on the act parameter.

Also, usually parameters on a get are split up by "&", not "@".
