It wd be useful to see all your code - but on the face of it, it looks like you have three placeholders and only two values to go into those places. Perhaps that's not that problem - but it wd be *a* problem. Having said that, you are going the right way in using placeholders, and used correctly they will eliminate quoting problems - so do persevere, as the truth is certainly out there.

In general, rdfield is quite right - I'd advise putting or die $dbh->errstr; at the end of each DBI call, so it tells you what went wrong.

Or you could use this, which works for me in a wide variety of circumstances:
sub InsertMultipleValues { #--------------------------------------------------------------- # Inserts contents of a hashref into the db table specified #--------------------------------------------------------------- my $dbh = shift; my $table = shift; my $Inserts = shift; my @cols = keys %$Inserts; my @vals = @$Inserts{@cols}; my $cols = join ',', @cols; my $places = '?,' x @vals; chop $places; my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO $table ($cols) VALUES ($place +s)") or die $dbh->errstr; $sth->execute(@vals) or die "$dbh->errstr : $table"; }

To use it, you'd organise the values you want to insert into a hash, where the keys are the names of the columns they go into. Then you get a database handle, and call the sub with InsertMultipleValues($dbh,'your_table',\%your_hash);

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
