In this case I think the problem is that you've failed to quote the strings in your INSERT. Try something like INSERT INTO tececo_stats values ('', '$id', '$visited', '$time' ... Also note that as it stands, I could potentially make big trouble for you by putting clever values into HTTP_REFERER (which is totally under my control as a visitor to your site). So make sure you mysql_escape_string or addslashes those values (unless you have magic_quotes turned on, in which case you can ignore this lecture). miguel
