hello,

i have been trying to figure out why INSERT statements using the XOOPS DB API wont work... SELECT statements work with no problem...

im thinking that i need valid credentials before i can write something in the database... maybe you could give me some info about it???

thanks.
any reply would help.

The method query() only accepts SELECT queries unless the request method is "post", as it normally is for form submittals.

This is a security feature.

You can use method queryF() in place of query() to do non-SELECT queries from a "get" request, but that should only be done if it's not practical to use a form. If you do this, it's especially important that you do your own security checks, such as sanitizing user input.

ah nice. thanks. i will test it later today.

so,
$xoopsDB->query("INSERT INTO table ... VALUES (".$_POST['username'].", ".$_POST['address'].")");

will work assuming that the $_POST vars are "clean"?

thanks for the info though. very useful for me.
PS: it was not documented in the FAQ...
