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() ;
}

How do I take input off of web page text boxes and put them on MYSQL
database.  This is the page's script.  I also named the file Input.phtml.
I'm very new to this... what am I doing wrong?

 <HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
Input
</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>

<P>These are the people I sell to:</P>

         <TABLE BORDER=10>
         <?
             mysql_connect("localhost", "kryste", "*******");
             $result = mysql(mydatabase, "select * from Bidder");
             $num = mysql_numrows($result);
             $i = 0;

             while($i < $num) {
                echo "<TR>n";
                echo "<TD>n";
                echo mysql_result($result,$i,"Last");
                echo "</TD>n<TD>";
                echo mysql_result($result,$i,"First");
                echo "</TD>n<TD>";
                echo mysql_result($result,$i,"Price");
                echo "</TD>n";
                echo "</TR>n";
                  $i++;}
          ?>

          </TABLE>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
/home/kryste/Input.phtml on line 16
