[Edson Waite]

Does anoyone use this? I am trying to insert data from a form to a MySQL
table. I am new to PHP and Dreamweaver, I am trying to get a tutorial to
work. below is the code.

<?php
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "",
$theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
  $theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" :
"NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue :
$theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}

$editFormAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $editFormAction .= "?" . $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
}

if ((isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_insert"])) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_insert"]
== "test form")) {
  $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO testform (firstName, lastName) VALUES
(%s, %s)",
                       GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['firstName'],
"text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['lastName'],
"text"));

  mysql_select_db($database_afm, $afm);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $afm) or die(mysql_error());

  $insertGoTo = "thank_you.php";
  if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $insertGoTo .= $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
  }
  header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
}
?>

Thanks in advance,
