Hi All,
I am attempting to test the code given in the COLUMN mentioned above by Florian Dittmer and am having trouble getting the data to post to my DB. Everything looks right but when I click "submit" I simply get a blank form and no id number. Below is the code I am talking about. I have changed the hostname, uname, and passwd to fit my environment, as well as the DB name. Also, the name of the file is rfpsubmit.php on my system. When I check the DB it tells me that the table has no records in it. If this is wrong place to post this I apologize.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
