Insert Data

[Anon]

I have been tryin to insert data with following code:

$query= "INSERT INTO Guestbook (namel,email,comments) VALUES

('$namel','$email','$comments')";

echo "$query";

however database dont get the data that is passed. But I can insert the data by copying the printed version to myPHPAdmin window.

What could be the reason that my data is not passed to database ?

thanks

$query = ("blah, blah");

if ($result = mysql_query($query)) {do this}

else { echo mysql_errno(), mysql_error(); }

what is this ?

echo is not what you need, echo just dumps content to the browser or stdout. To submit a query to a mysql db you will need the mysql_query command. The if/else logic is to provide for an out in case of errors.
