Re: PHP and MySQL

hi, you could do it in a easier way, first put real names for the fields in your form: <div align="left">login : <input type="text" name="login"> </div> <br> <div align="left">group : <input type="text" name="group"> </div> <br> <div align="left">password : <input type="text" name="pasword"> </div> , second you could do this: INSERT INTO $table_name (id, login, group, password) VALUES ('', '$login', $group', '$password') try this... luck...
