You would need to show us the SQL that was causing that error. Otherwise
it is fairly meaningless.

hope this helps...

<?

//check for required form variables
if ((!$_POST[f_name]) || (!$_POST[l_name])) {

Unrelated, but you should have quotes here. Like $_POST['f_name']

	header("Location:http://www.inspired-evolution.com/show_addcontact.php";);

There should also probably be a space between the : and the start of the URL here.

	exit;
}else {
	//if form variables are present,start a session
	session_start();
}

//check for validity of user
if ($_SESSION[valid] != "yes") {

Again, quotes on the array subscript.

	header("Location:http://www.inspired-evolution.com/contact_menu.php";);

And space between colon and URL here.

	exit;
}

//set up table and database names
$db_name ="bruceg_contactlist";
$table_name ="Contact List";

//connect to server and select database
$connection = @mysql_connect("69.90.6.198","database_username","password")
or die(mysql_error());
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name,$connection) or die(mysql_error());

//build and issue query
$sql = "INSERT INTO $table_name values ('', '$_POST[f_name]',

You'll be wanting to put backticks (`) around the table name, because it contains a space.
