You can base yourself on the following which I've prepared for you.
Sidenote: I'm not entirely sure as to why you want to use rowCount()
for, so I left it out for now.
If you're looking to check if a record exists using rowCount()
, let me know.
The following method works to insert data into a database, which is based on a method I use.
<?php
$dbname = 'xxx';
$username = 'xxx';
$password = 'xxx';
try {
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
exit( $e->getMessage() );
}
$sql = "INSERT INTO surveys (
username,
inspected,
comments,
ip_address,
date,
time
) VALUES (
:username,
:inspected,
:comments,
:ip_address,
:date,
:time)";
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindParam(':username', $_POST['username'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindParam(':inspected', $_POST['inspected'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindParam(':comments', $_POST['comments'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindParam(':ip_address', $_POST['ip_address'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindParam(':date', $_POST['date'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindParam(':time', $_POST['time'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
// $stmt->execute();
$stmt->execute(array(':username' => $_POST['username'],':inspected' => $_POST['inspected'],':comments' => $_POST['comments'],
':ip_address' => $_POST['ip_address'],':date' => $_POST['date'],':time' => $_POST['time']));
if($stmt != false) {
echo "success!";
} else {
echo "an error occured saving your data!";
}
