not inserting into database

Im having a problem updating data from step 2 to 3.
You can see from the code.

Um, you're using an insert with update syntax I think.

INSERT INTO news (template,date_status,name,title,teaser,text,date) VALUES ('$template','$dateoff','$image','$title','$teaser','$text','$date')

Try that.

Hang on, if you are updating leave yours as it is and change insert to update. So

UPDATE news SET template='$template',date_status='$dateoff', name='$image', title='$title', teaser='$teaser', text='$text', date='$date'

sorry.

i should of made myslef clearer, im not updating, im adding a to the database
my bad sorry

Should be my first query that works, then.
