 Bus Booking Application Form

Fig-3 Testing and Debugging

The above error is due to the missing of one parameter in the inserting data into the database
that is,
SQL query to insert data into the database
sql = "INSERT INTO VALUES bookings (name, age, email, phone, gender, source,
destination, journey_date) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)" val =
(name, age, email, phone, gender, source, destination, journey_date)

In the above query , the column names given are 9 which includes (name, age, email, phone,
gender, source, destination, journey_date) but the corresponding values count are 8 .
This is the reason for error
To run this application without error , the query should be corrected as: SQL query
to insert data into the database sql = "INSERT INTO VALUES bookings (name,
age, email, phone, gender, source, destination, journey_date) VALUES (%s, %s, %s,
%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)" 21
