If what you have below is the exact SQL you have an error:
mysql_query ("INSERT INTO 'footable' (foo1, foo2, foo3, foo4, foo5, foo6,
foo7) VALUES '$foo1', '$foo2', '$foo3', '$foo4', '$foo5', '$foo6',
'$foo7')");
should be
mysql_query ("INSERT INTO 'footable' (foo1, foo2, foo3, foo4, foo5, foo6,
foo7) VALUES ('$foo1', '$foo2', '$foo3', '$foo4', '$foo5', '$foo6',
'$foo7')");
You are missing an opening paren after the VALUES keyword. Using
mysql_error will help you catch these kinds of things.

the MySQL query I think.
