It would be helpful if you told us the error message you are receiving. As a matter of style, it would also help you if you checked the response from each function call, or at least echo-ed it so that you could see the returned information. In that case, you would see that processing doesn't get as far as the INSERT operation before failing, and would be able to focus on working out a solution from the manual/your guiding text. Assuming you define the PHP variables $host, $user, $passwd, and $database, somewhere earlier in the script, then the most likely problem is that they are enclosed within quotation marks inside the mysql_connect() and mysql_select_db() calls. Quotation marks are only required if string literals are being specified. Come back to us if that doesn't do the trick, =dn
