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!

Ave,

Does anyone know what I¹m doing wrong?

    <?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, $WHO</SPAN><br>";
mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl (WHEN, WHAT, WHO) VALUES
('$WHEN','$WHAT','$WHO')";

You'll want to fix this still - even with the field name change.

Why? Try submitting something with a quote in it.

Use mysql_real_escape_string:

$query = "INSERT INTO tbl(blah, blah, blah) VALUES('" . mysql_real_escape_string($when) . "', '" . mysql_real_escape_string($what) . "', '" . mysql_real_escape_string($who) . "')";

mysql_query($query);

See http://php.net/mysql_real_escape_string and http://phpsec.org/projects/guide/3.html
