Re: MySQL newbie: inserting new entry to table?

Thank You Howard! You sure are quick! I found a way to make it work. I used to have both scripts (the one that displays and the one that inserts new entries) on the same page... Once I separated them I had a link on a third page. I first clicked on the insert entry link then back to the display page... My new entry was there... Now for the solution you gave me. I haven't tried it yet but I'd like to know the difference. I see you don't provide the database name in the mysql_query call. How does MySQL know what base to work with? I've seen both 'mysql_query' and 'mysql_db_query' in several tutorials but haven't yet figured the difference between them (told you a was a newbie...) Thanks again for your interest, I thought everybody would be on holidays... Sébastien
