Re: inserting data into database!

Now that I closed the bracket it tells me that $row is not defined. I have plagiarized from a couple of different places to come up with my code so that is the reason that it may not work that well. Here is my code right now $conn = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass); if ($conn == true) { $insert = "INSERT INTO $db_table SET "; $insert .= "Base = '" . $row->Base . "', "; $insert .= "Date_and_Time = '" . $row->Date_and_Time . "', "; $insert .= "Event_Type = '" . $row->Event_Type . "', "; $insert .= "Description = '" . $row->Description . "', "; $insert .= "Initials = '" . $row->Initials . "'"; mysql_query($insert, $conn); } ?> "Ronald Allen" <sesel@omantel.net.om> wrote in message news:20040514195056.34219.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Here is my code now, but I am getting a parsing error > > Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end > > $db_table = 'log'; > > $conn = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass); > > if ($conn == true) { > > $insert = "INSERT INTO $db_table SET "; > > $insert .= "Base = '" . $row->Base .
