PHP, MySQL error: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

You have 9 fields listed, but only 8 values. Try adding the method.

The number of column parameters in your insert query is 9, but you've only provided 8 values.

INSERT INTO dbname (id, Name, Description, shortDescription, Ingredients, Method, Length, dateAdded, Username) VALUES ('', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s')

The query should omit the "id" parameter, because it is auto-generated (or should be anyway):

INSERT INTO dbname (Name, Description, shortDescription, Ingredients, Method, Length, dateAdded, Username) VALUES ('', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s')

Your query has 8 or possibly even 9 variables, ie. Name, Description etc. But the values, these things ---> '', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s')", only total 7, the number of variables have to be the same as the values.

I had the same problem but I figured it out. Hopefully it will also work for you.
