Re: insertion problem (2)

This may not necessarily be the problem. But I am not sure that you should be capitalizing the first character of your variable. That is a special type of PHP variable - which I do not use normally - so I can not remember what it is called. However, put all your variables to lower case except the pre-defined variables such as $_POST and $_GET etc. See if that helps

good on ya for trying to extract the question/problem from this guy Stephen! I just wanted to add that variable names can be in any case, may not start with a number (may contain alpha-numeric chars) and are case-sensitive. the following are all valid (and different): $Tee1 = 1; $tee1 = 1; $_tee1 = 1; $_TEE1 = 1; $Tee = 1;
