It looks like you are getting a error in your INSERT statement and not
catching it. The statement is not correct, missing ' on the values line..:
> $query="INSERT INTO table values('$last_name)";
^ closing ' here...
Change it to:
$query="INSERT INTO table values('$last_name')";
It always a good idea to catch errors, at least while developing...if you
dont want to see the errors, maybe email them to yourself..
