My Apologies Everyone! I gave you all the wrong code Twice!! A pox on me - I
tell you!

This is the ACTUAL code that I'm working with - and it's not working:

   <?php
   //Add Record Function
   if($_POST['Submit']) {
   $db = mysql_connect("localhost","usr","pwd");
   mysql_select_db("thedb",$db) or die("Critical Error :".mysql_error());
   $WHEN = date(mdyHi);
   $WHAT = $_POST['WHAT'];
   $WHO = $_POST['WHO'];
   echo "<SPAN CLASS='BlackText'>$WHEN, $WHAT, $WHO</SPAN><br>";

   $sql = "INSERT INTO tbl  (WHEN, WHAT, WHO) VALUES
('$WHEN','$WHAT','$WHO')";
   $result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Fatal Error :".mysql_error());
   echo "<span class='SmallText'><EM><STRONG>~: message sent
:~</STRONG></EM></span><BR><BR>";
   }
   ?>

Please disregard the previous code I sent. Thank you!

If you checked the MySQL Manual you would see that WHEN is a reserved
word. I think that gives problem, so you could change the WHEN key
into another key, or use some quotes around it. I recommend the first
option :)
