The following function takes table name, and array where its keys are the table fields and it’s values are the values to insert in each field, it constructs the MySQL Query based on the input and executes it to insert the data.

function insertRow($table_name, $input_array){
	$link = mysql_connect(SERVER, USER, PASS);
	mysql_select_db(DATABASE, $link);
	$SQL = "INSERT INTO $table_name ";
	$fields = "(";
	$values = "(";
	foreach ($input_array as $k => $v) {
		$fields .= "`$k` ,";
		$values .= "'$v' ,";
	}
	$fields .="#";
	$values .="#";
	$fields = explode(",#", $fields);
	$fields = $fields[0];
	$values = explode(",#", $values);
	$values = $values[0];
	$fields .= ")";
	$values .= ")";
	$SQL .= $fields . " VALUES " . $values;
	mysql_query($SQL);
	mysql_close($link);
}

Fix the MySQL PHP issue in Leopard (mysql.sock file)

This is a known issue in Leopard, basically the system is looking for the mysql.sock file in the wrong place. Just need to create a symlink and you should be in business:

sudo mkdir /var/mysql/
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
