Hi everybody,
Thanks for the information, unfortunately for me there are no arrays being
used. The names used are solely the names of each individual column/field in
the table. I have already tried all the suggestions to no avail. That is why
I hardcoded a version of my insert-data-into-table and once I knew it worked
I substituted all the hardcoded fields with $_POST in place of the
hardcoding, I then cut and pasted in each field the corresponding hardcoded
value and just before writing the record. I echoed the record values and all
appears to be well. Then via the MySQL Monitor I check to see if the record
had been written and found that nothing has happened. Please forgive me if I
appear to be ungrateful, which is not the case I am just frustrated.
Especially after proving that one version of my insert-data-into-table
(hardcoded) worked and a version of my insert-data-into-table works with a 4
column table (a different table) and will not work with a version using as
input data the values of the hardcoded version. I knows the fault lays with
me but I cannot see it.
Paul

Id guess that one of your data types (or more) is still not valid for
the type declared but ~not sure if you know this~ but you can add
column names before your query ...
INSERT INTO my_table (col1_name, col2_name) VALUES (col1_value,
col2_value) // Try a few values up until you error out
I find it even less confusing to use the SET variant that makes
INSERTs look like UPDATEs:
INSERT INTO my_table SET col1_name=col1_value, col2_name=col2_value;
