<snip> print $add_to_db; </snip> Thanks for all your replies! I didn't expect to get one so quick, so thanks! After I did the above, I pasted the output into MySQL. Guess what? It didn't work! I was only sending values for $item1_desc and $item1_cost. Because I was not sending values for the other columns, I was getting an error message saying the data was truncated for the empty variables. Now I need to figure out how to send empty values... would NULL do the job? Thanks again! Stewart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
