writing to MySQL

What is the PHP command to write data to a MySQL table?

You use mysql_query() to send all commands to MySQL, after you've made a connection and selected a database.

How do I use it to write to the database?

Good idea to check the manual at php.net or zend.com... It explains very well how to do things with php... for people who are learning too.

Check out the mysql articles on phpbuilder.com and devshed.com too.

Code below: NOT checked!

$sDbHost = "localhost";
$sDbUser = "username";
$sDbPass = "password";
$sDbName = "yourdbname";

mysql_connect($sDbHost, $sDbUser, $sDbPass)
or DIE("".mysql_error());

/it's always usefull to shove meaningfull DIE statment/

mysql_select_db($sDbName)
or DIE("".mysql_error());

mysql_query("INSERT INTO tablename (colum_one, column_two) VALUES ("table", "chair")")
or DIE("Mysql Insert failed... crap!: ".mysql_error());
