mysql - Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'id' at row 1

Question

I am trying to insert into my mySQL database. The first column is the 'id' column, since its an auto_increment field, I left it blank. For some reason, I am unable to insert and I am getting the error mentioned below. I appreciate any help with this.

I am getting the following error while trying to insert:

Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'id' at row 1

my query

$insertQuery = "INSERT INTO workorders VALUES('', '$priority', '$requestType', '$purchaseOrder', '$nte', '$jobSiteNumber')";

Answer 1

That probably means that your id is an AUTO_INCREMENT integer and you're trying to send a string. You should specify a column list and omit it from your INSERT.

INSERT INTO workorders (column1, column2) VALUES ($column1, $column2)
