RE: [PHP] weird behavior with a form

Perhaps a little clarification... I'm very sorry I wasn't clear in the first place! => The page works fine if I click on submit with the mouse. I'm curious why it doesn't when the user presses their 'Enter' key while the text field is focused. They will be entering piles of info, just trying to make it more convenient => Thanks again, Ben -----Original Message----- From: Richard Baskett [mailto:rickbaskett@home.com] Sent: Friday, August 03, 2001 5:31 PM To: Benjamin Bleything; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] weird behavior with a form Try using this INSERT statement: $query = "INSERT INTO genres (name) VALUES ('$name')"; I subtracted one of the ";", I dont think you need it when running a query from php.
