Hello,

I am using PHP to create forms and then am entering the user input into
a MySQL DB
In the first query I am trying to select the values that the user
entered on the form

THIS DOES NOT WERK.... gives error unable to execute query

$sql = "INSERT INTO `guest` (`title`, `first_name`, `last_name`,
`login`, `password`, `passport_number`, `e_mail`, `question`, `answer`,
`industry`, `job_title`, `state`, `city`, `company`, `last_visit`)
VALUES ('\$select\', \'$f_name\', \'$l_name\', \'$login\',
\'$password\', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
NOW());";
Not sure why you're escaping the single quote. It's unnecessary -- and I
suspect you mis-escaped $select as well. Any you can use this format, which
IMHO, is a lot easier on the eyes:

$sql = "INSERT INTO `guest`
SET `title` = '$title',
`first_name` = '$first_name',
...,
...,
`last_visit` = NOW()";
