Hi Felix, welcome to the world of ColdFusion. Which books have you been reading?

Search the web for Coldfusion tutorials for beginners. I would recommend Learn CF in a Week. You should return to this forum with any questios you may have.

The Adobe Developer Guide is perhaps too advanced for the beginner. Have you had a look at the LearnCFInAWeek tutorial? It has plenty of pactical examples.

You are missing a comma after '#Form.phone#' in the SQL insert query.

The error you are getting basically means you are not providing the correct amount of values to insert relative to the fields you are trying to insert to.

Ok... couple of things here.  The 2 tables you have don't relate in any way.  So, am not sure how you would look up a users password with this design.  Secondly, unless you want to be sql injected user query params, for everything. 

The error you are getting is being caused by the insert into password table as there is no comma after the phone value.

Thanks,


--Dave

In addition to what fergusondj‌ and haxtbh‌ said, I think you need to rethink your table structures. You at least need to have one column in each table that match in order to link or join them. Username seems a logical column, unless you've got an auto-generated id column that isn't shown in your queries (so you need username to exist in both tables, and they need to match each other).  Also, why is "phone" and "dateofbirth" in the password table rather than the user table?  Do you even need a separate passsword table?

Also, if you are going to store passwords, you should definitely be encrypting them. There are various techniques for this, and various built-in functions and open-source community solutions are available, depending on which version of ColdFusion you are running.

In case you are unaware of it, the query parameter that Fergusondj talks about is cfqueryparam. Aside from improving security,

<cfqueryparam value = "#form.dateofbirth#" cfsqltype = "cf_sql_date"> will convert the string form.dateofbirth to a date that your data source will recognize.

felixm71880667‌ I'm going to mark the first answer from BKBK‌ as Correct, since it addressed your original question.  If you run into any additional problems, or need more help on the query issue above, we'll carve the whole query discussion off to a separate topic to keep the discussion thread easier to follow.

Two things:

1) there appears to be a typing error: "dateofbitrh";

2) use cfqueryparam for ALL the form values.
