Well, thank you very much.  I hope that's not sarcasm I detect in this
effort to educate the newbies.  I should mention that I am a newbie, I am
constantly reading the documentation, and that I KNOW WHERE TO START.
Here.  I got to this list from postgresql.org, and the php lists are tough
to navigate (ie, i recieve, but can't seem to consistently post.)

Maybe, since you seem to be "in the know", you can point out one of the
pgsql/php functions you have mentioned instead of giving me useless
information.  That would help...
If you look closely, you'll see that there is a problem, there is really
no function that takes web form contents (yes the name=value pairs, not
the html tags (w3.org can do that!)) and puts these into :

insert into <table_name> ($web_form_names) values ($web_form_values);

Is there anyoneELSE out there who can HELP me?  or give me some sort of
constructive advice, instead of making me feel like I'm doing something
horribly wrong, like adam here....
