Thanks Nick,

I am not able to turn on register globals due to web
host restrictions. I tried your other suggestion but
got the following message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected
T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or
T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in
/my-directory-paths/register.php on line 6

line 6 is:
 
$sql = "INSERT INTO $table (firstname, lastname,
cpeyear, city, country, workplace, email, comments)
VALUES
($_POST['firstname'],$_POST['lastname'],$_POST['cpeyear'],$_POST['city'],$_POST['country'],$_POST['workplace'],$_POST['email'],$_POST['comments'])";

All variables are of varchar type in the db except for
comments which is longtext.
