Problem posting to mysql database under IIS

[Underpaid_Pedro]

Could someone wiser help me out with my problem?

I have just installed php on IIS (windows xp, pro) and there's a working mysql connection too. But the problem is that when i'm trying to post from a form to the database, nothing goes from the request page to the one who's supposed to handle the stuff and it results in an empty record.

I have written a php-page which inserts data to the database without variables and it works just fine.

So there's a problem collecting the variables.

In the form i have statements like this:

<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=name SIZE=30 maxlength=80>

and

on the handling page:

$insert = "INSERT INTO guestbook(name, date, email, comment) VALUES('$name', SYSDATE(), '$email', '$comments')";
$mysql_insert = mysql_query($insert, $mysql_link) or die...

and so on.

Getting desperate fighting with this. Thanks in advance!

Judging from what you've written, I'd suggest going over to the Newbies' Forum, read the FAQ there - Question One in particular.

The php code snippet in the thread you mentioned worked just fine, but i still cannot get mine working. Actually i don't have a freaking clue how to use that $_post inside the INSERT command:

$insert = "INSERT INTO guestbook(name, date, email, comment) VALUES ($post['FName'],$post[ 'date'], '$post['email]',$post[ 'comments')";

sure didn't work out that well..
