Do you mind telling me where this php.ini is?
And I tried the second attempt like this:
$query = "INSERT INTO friends (id, firstname, surname) values
(nextval('friends_id_seq'), $_POST['firstname'],
$_POST['surname'])";
which returns error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or
T_NUM_STRING in /local/scratch-1/ww220/Apache1.3/htdocs/test/add2.php on line 5
