Thanks Rick, That took care of the $submit error, but I still have the following error showing:
PHP Warning: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testform.php on line 14 Here is line 14: <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>"> I still don't know what's going on here. Thanks for your patience and help for us newbies!

I have been able to post data from mySQL, but when I tried to do a form page to enter data into the database I get the following error: PHP Warning: Undefined variable: submit in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testform.php on line 4 PHP Warning: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testform.php on line 14 Here is the code: <html> <body> <?php if ($submit) { // process form $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root"); mysql_select_db("mydb",$db); $sql = "INSERT INTO employees (first,last,address,position) VALUES ('$first','$last','$address','$position')"; $result = mysql_query($sql); echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n"; } else{ // display form ?> <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>"> First name:<input type="Text" name="first"><br> Last name:<input type="Text" name="last"><br> Address:<input type="Text" name="address"><br> Position:<input type="Text" name="position"><br> <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Enter information"> </form> <?php } // end if ?> </body> </html> Does anyone have any ideas, or where I need to look more to learn what the problem is here?
