I am trying to use PHP to read a file and insert contents into a table in MSServer 2005.I created the table using MS SQL Server Management Studio Express. PHP can open the file, read the line, populate variables,but it got this error in insertion [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'database_name.table_name'., SQL state S0002 in SQLExecDirect in E:\web\my_site_name\htdocs\test2_updates.php on line 37. Can anyone point out what I am missing? Thanks.
Based on the error, you are trying to write to a table that doesn't exists. can you post your code? Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Bruce, here is the code. I have verified that my connection to the database was OK since I could query and display the contents of a existing table. ================================= <html> <table> <?php $ConnString="DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=sql2k504.discountasp.net;DATABASE=SQL2005_277395_lifttruck"; $DB_User="SQL2005_277395_lifttruck_user"; $DB_Passwd="XXXXXXXXXXXX"; $Connect = odbc_connect( $ConnString, $DB_User, $DB_Passwd ) or die ("Unable to connect to database"); $file=fopen("trkprpage.txt","r") or exit("Unable to open trkprpage.txt!"); while(!feof($file)) { //echo fgets($file). ""; $line = fgets($file); //$res=""; //echo $line. ""; list($doc_no, $family, $family_desc, $truck_type) = explode("|", $line); echo "<tr><td>". $doc_no."<td>". $family. "<td>". $family_desc. "<td>". $truck_type. "</tr>"; $sql = "INSERT INTO $DB_User.trkprpage (doc_no, family, family_desc, truck_type) VALUES ($doc_no, '$family', '$family_desc', '$truck_type')"; $res = odbc_exec( $Connect, $sql ); if (!$res) { echo "<tr><td>SQL statement failed with error</td><td></td></tr>"; } else { echo "<tr><td>One data row inserted</td></tr>"; } } fclose($file); ?> </body> </html> =========================
This line is the problem $sql = "INSERT INTO $DB_User.trkprpage (doc_no, family, family_desc, truck_type) VALUES ($doc_no, '$family', '$family_desc', '$truck_type')"; Change it to $sql = "INSERT INTO trkprpage (doc_no, family, family_desc, truck_type) VALUES ($doc_no, '$family', '$family_desc', '$truck_type')"; Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
