You aren't checking your stuff before dumping it. None of it... So, you should be taking the post variables and slapping them into a checker. Then, your statement should be more along the lines of: mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 'ssssssssssssssssss','$txtFName','$txtLName','$txtEmail','$txtPhone','$txturl','$record','$subscribed',$date, '$REMOTE_ADDR','$txtBusiness','$txtAddress1','$txtCity','$txtState','$txtZip','$rdoCoffee','$rdoTime','$areaPlans') ; HTH, Wolf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
