empty query

hello, i have unsuccessfully tried for three days to write, re-write something that will insert data into my db and ashamedly have failed again. at one point i was able to echo values and see that they were in fact passing from my form. now i can't even get that. anyway, if you could take a look at this and tell me where i'm going wrong i will greatly appreciate it. thank you... addison <?
