Php should have displayed a Thnak you for your entery note to show it added the entrys. When I hit the submit button the page just clears the form. I have checked the mysql database and nothing is there. if ($submit) { // process form $db = mysql_connect("*****", "******", "******"); mysql_select_db("mydb",$db); $sql = "INSERT INTO employees (first,last,address,position) VALUES ('$first','$last','$address','$position')"; $result = mysql_query($sql); echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n"; } else{ This goes on to end php and create the form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-02 12:24:55] cynic@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
