I'm not trying to do a sales pitch or anything, but if you are trying to do PHP and MySQL, I found a very good book that will teach you both, and gives you examples both in the book and online.

Apress - Beginning PHP and MySQL 5: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition

I was completely self-taught for HTML, and wanted to learn how to make my own PHP-BB forum. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but this book is awesome.

could 'key' be a reserved variable in sql ? try other one ..

That's it!!!!! Thank you so very much! ;)

Hi

Glad you solved your problem. I thought I would share mine. My very first ever PHP page and MYSQL project failed because of something called "Magic Quotes". I think it took me two weeks of asking on microsoft.public before someone told me that if I pass a string in quotes to a sql command from a web page that quotes are removed. Anyway, I did manage to get it to work but I think the person who invented the "PHP magic quotes" should have been strangled as a small child. That is just my personal opinion and not worth 2c.

Anyway, the page is at http://swri.info/cpustats check it out. If you get yours working, share it.

could 'key' be a reserved variable in sql ? try other one ..

<?php
$title = $_POST['title'];
$text = $_POST['title'];
$des = $_POST['des'];
$key = $_POST['key'];
$src = $_POST['src'];
mysql_connect ("localhost", "USER", "PASS") or die (mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("DB");
$sql="INSERT INTO articles (id, title, des, key, text, src) VALUES ('NULL','".$title."','".$des."','".$key."','".$text."','".$src."')";
mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());
echo "Db update done!";
?>

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'key, text, src) VALUES ('NULL','test','test','test','test','test')' at line 1

mysql_query("INSERT INTO articles (title,des,key,text,src) VALUES('$title','$des','$key','$text','$src')")or die(mysql_error());

LOL

Meow.......we always come back, don't we?
