I saw two people pointing two errors on the SQL insert statement which
you would have found yourself had you put the 'or die()' at the end of
the query, as someone else suggested. Do never leave any query without
the 'or die()' after it (or any other means to check if mysql_query
returns anything not false). This would have saved lots of your time,
our time, everybody's bandwidth and would avoid your asking everybody
again for the next error you make. We all make errors, none of us is
above that, that's why, at least in my case, I never fail to add the or
die() at the end. That's why the developers of function libraries have
put some means of reporting errors back. It takes time for providing
good error reporting. You are wasting that effort as well.
Do you deserve all this speech? No more than the dozens who write what
I call 'ballistic' code: code you have no control over once it launches.
Guided missiles are far better. Anyway, you got it because I had time
to rant about this.

I wasted no more bandwidth than you did with your rant. My code post
was edited from the original code and that's where the mistake was made,
not in the code itself. And I do, by the way, end all my queries with
or die(). I just left it out of the edit. Besides, the problem is fixed
now. Thanks to all that helped.
