Re: Mysql statement works in phpmyadmin but not in php page

Thank you. You were right on the money, "hour" was the problem and the tick marks solved it. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out why I never got an error but there was no insert and php myadmin does add the tick marks automatically. Probably a good habit to always use the tick marks.
