Newb, having problems with Active Record, results in syntax error - El Forum - 12-29-2008

I've written some php with codeigniter which gets some info from an XML document, and then tries to save it to my db.
However trying to use active record, for inserting to the database, results in a syntax error.
my code:
$data['director'] = $movie->directors->director;
$data['spilletid'] = $movie->movie_duration;
$data['premiere'] = $movie->regions->region->products->product->premiere;
$data['type'] = $movie->regions->region->categories->categorie;
$this->db->insert('movies_trailer', $data);
And this is the syntax error:
A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1064

INSERT INTO `movies_trailer` (`title`, `movie_id`, `director`, `spilletid`, `premiere`, `type`) VALUES (Across the Universe, 709, Julie Taymor, 134, 2008-06-20, Drama)
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

One annoying thing about using Simple XML is that values do not have the correct types. It's not recognising that the values are strings so fails to add " round them.
Try type-casting:
Code:
$data[‘director’] = (string) $movie->directors->director;
$data[‘spilletid’] = (int) $movie->movie_duration;
$data[‘premiere’] = (int) $movie->regions->region->products->product->premiere;
$data[‘type’] = (string) $movie->regions->region->categories->categorie;
$this->db->insert(‘movies_trailer’, $data);Newb, having problems with Active Record, results in syntax error - El Forum - 12-29-2008

Thanks for the help mate, that worked!
They should however consider renameing simpleXML to something along the lines of NotSosimpleXML.

They are renaming it to UsefullButSlightlyOddXML() in PHP 6.

Great this is exactly the fix I was looking for.
Might I add that type-casting will also work in an array
Code:
$data = array(
'foo' => (string)$bar,
'hello' => (int)$world
);
