Hello all! I am new to php and I am trying to update a mySQL table using php v4.2.3 for Windows. I am using the command: mysql_query("insert into tblquotehits (qoption,referer,browser,remoteaddr,dt) values ($quotetype,$referer,$browser,$remoteaddress,$currentdtstring)",$db); I have read the documentation and found some notes on the topic but none seemed to solve my problem. I have tried other variations of the command such as inserting a semicolon at the end of the insert statement before the closing double quotes. All variables are defined and all columns are actually columns in the table ... I have checked all of this. I have also returned the result to a variable and echoed it to the screen ... the result printed is "Resource id #2". This is driving me crazy as I know it must be something quite simple that I am overlooking. Any help is greatly appreciated!
