Note Submitter: wolex@dovecorporation.com ---- using the ampersand '&' for variable referencing could save you a lot of grief when trying to move values from a form to your query object. I hope this code snippet will make the point clear: <----------- this is from file 1------> <?php echo '<form action="examp2.php" method="post">'; echo 'Example<input type="text" size="20" name="examp" maxlenght ="40" />'; echo '</form>'; ?> <---------This is from file 2-----: examp2.php ------> <?php $exampos_ = &$_POST['examp']; /*will get you your values but skipping the & may not: I was caught in this loop for a long time */ $dbquery = 'INSERT INTO your_db_table SET your_db_colum = '$exampos' ; /*Of course the assumption is that you would have your syntaxes right and will connect to your db before issuing queries. If you find this too cryptic, send me and email and I'll send you a complete example code. */
