Not entirely sure if it's invalid or not, but it's unneccessary.

$result_insert = @mysql_query ($query_insert); if ($result_insert == "") { echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"0\"\n"; echo "<INPUT type=\"submit\" value=\"Continue\">\n"; } else {echo "OOPS! Your programmer is an idiot!\n";}

Try this: if (($result_insert=@mysql_query($query_insert)) != FALSE) { ... echo HTML ... } else {echo "Oops! Your programmer is broken. Oh and here's what MySQL said: <br />\n".mysql_error();} Hopefully that works for you. I think the problem may be the escapes quotes. Cheers, Andy
