This SQL is generated by my script... INSERT INTO cbs_eps ( eps_id , eps_name , eps_num , eps_air_date ) VALUES ( '5','No Hiding Place','5','1974-01-10'); 'eps_id' is generated from the index ($x) of the array loop the others are retrieved from the tab delimted text file When run from the script, the only thing going in is the epd_id! :( All others are either ZERO or empty (defaults) Now, if I take this same SQL and drop into phpmyAdmin all the data is inserted! All the fields! What the h#@& and I doing wrong! ???????????? The only thing Ican think of is varialbe typing.
