omg help...insane simple query won't work I must be blind

[Terion Miller <webdev.terion@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok guys, I'm going blind indeed, this is a simple tiny query that goes to a
form and I get the error : Error, insert query failed
ever since I added the fields StartDate and EndDate and advertiser .... what
is going on....
here is the php
<?php
$ebits = ini_get('error_reporting');
error_reporting($ebits ^ E_NOTICE);
//connect to database
include 'inc/dbconnOpen.php';

//start script
if(isset($_POST['add']))
{

 $href = $_POST['href'];
 $title = $_POST['title'];
 $blurb = $_POST['blurb'];
 $StartDate = $_POST['byear'] ."-". $_POST['bmonth'] ."-". $_POST['bday'];
  $EndDate = $_POST['eyear'] ."-". $_POST['emonth'] ."-". $_POST['eday'];
  $expos = $_POST['expos'];
 $advertiser = $_POST['advertiser'];

 $query = "INSERT INTO `textads`
(`title`, `href`, `blurb`, `StartDate`, `EndDate`, `expos`, `advertiser`)
VALUES
('".$title."', '".$href."', '".$blurb."', '".$StartDate."', '".$EndDate."',
'".$expos."', '".$advertiser."' )";
 echo $query;
 mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

 //handy variable view
include ("VariableReveal2.php");  it's not showing anything either...

 echo "New Dream Job Text Ad  added <br> <a href='enterForm2.php'>Add New
Ad</a>";

}
else
{
?>

And yes yes I know escape my strings ...I'll go back and do that when the
stupid insert is actually working...


Thanks
