parse error while using post method

Hi, i want to insert some values into a table by getting values using post method. here is the script but it gives this error message;

err message 😛arse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING on line 17

line 17:

mysql_query("insert into users(userid,name,email) values(null,'$POST['name']','$POST['email']')");

what can i do?

Try splitting it up like this:

$name = $POST['name'];
$email = $POST['email'];

$sql = "insert into users(userid, name, email) values(null, '$name', '$email'";

mysql_query($sql);

Also it may be worth while running some validation to check that the 'name' and 'email' POST values actually exist and have a value.

hope this helps.

or:

mysql_query("insert into users(userid,name,email) values(null,'". $_POST['name'] ."','". $_POST['email'] ."')");

Thanks its working!
