Try this: $insertQuery = "Insert into TABLE ( col_one, col_two )values ( '" . $this -> firstName . "', '" . $this-> lastName . "' )"; $db =& new DB; $res = $db->query($insertQuery); if(DB::isError($res)){ exit("Insert query failed: ".__FUNCTION__."() <br>in file ".__FILE__."<br>on line ".__LINE__."<br>".$res->getDebugInfo()); }else{ return; } you need to have quotes arround your varchar items and you should also specify which column you want the values to go into. It is also good practice to check if there is an error and try to get the most information available.
