Well, for starters, if you are trying to put data into the database, your query should use INSERT ... not SELECT.
Here's a snippet from one of my scripts ... $query_insert="INSERT INTO tablename (column1, column2, textdata) VALUE ('$column1','$column2','$textdata')"; if (!($result_insert = mysql_db_query($DB, $query_insert))) { DisplayErrMsg(sprintf("internal error %d:%s\n", mysql_errno(), mysql_error())); exit() ; } ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Hanes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mysql" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 08, 2002 10:05 PM Subject: TextBox --> Database How do I take input off of web page text boxes and put them on MYSQL database.
