You haven't given enough code to know excatly what your problem is. However, for an educated guess, try something like: $sql = "INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(" . $mystring . ")"; where of course $mystring is the correctly formatted set of values to insert. Note that using this method you must have a value for each field in the table, in the order in which the fields appear in the table. -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi! Quod subigo farinam
