Hi
I think your mysql_query is wrong. You need to include the $db variable
in the query otherwise it doesn't know where to put the stuff.
$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);
Cheers

(student_id, firstname,lastname, address) VALUES
('$student_id', '$firstname', '$lastname', '$address')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n";
} else{
// display form
?>
<FORM onsubmit="return formvalidation(this)"
