Hello. I am adding a record to a MySQL Database using PHP. I have the records listed by the field: $id_num. I want the DB to be updated only with new id numbers, and return an error if there is a duplicate number already in the DB. Here is the code I am using: <?php $insert_data = "INSERT into articles Values ( '<a href=\"upload_form.php?id_num=$id_num\">edit</a>', '<a href=\"delete.php?id_num=$id_num\">delete</a>', '$id_num', '$title', '$author', '$article_contents', '$start_date', '' );"; $response = mysql_query( $insert_data, $dbh ); $get_table_data = "SELECT * FROM ccfs"; $response = mysql_query( $get_table_data, $dbh ); ?> Can anyone help me? Hope this makes sense. Thanks! Steve Marquez Marquez Design smarquez@marquez-design.com www.marquez-design.com
