Well getting closer now, its inserting into the tables but they are
blank
(no text)
[/snip]
let's go short...(and watch for/avoid keywords like 'name')
form.php
form action=input.php method=POST
input type=text name=username
input type=submit name=submit value=Submit
/form
input.php
?php
$username = $_POST['username'];
echo $username . br\n;
$sql = INSERT INTO whosaid (username) VALUES (' . $username . ');
if(!($insert = mysql_query($sql, $yourConnectionString))){
echo mysql_error . \n;
exit();

RE: [PHP] Re: how to insert form data
[snip] thanks works fine [/snip] No problem...a couple of notes a. Avoid using words that may be key words (such as 'name'). There are lists available for you database and PHP at their websites. 2. Always respond to the list as a private response may get inadvertently dumped to the spam folder. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
