Basic SQL query question
 
I realize this is really basic, I'm learning as I go.

I'm trying to make a simple page to add data to a database. The database is named 'php', and I have a table with: id (int, auto increment) and text fields named lastname, firstname, org, cdate and notes.

My form input is a quick table, the inputs look like this:

Code:
<td width="100">Lastname</td>
<td><input name="lastname" type="text" id="lastname"></td>
So I assume that's posting "lastname".

I've defined these variables to grab the post data:

Code:
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$org = $_POST['org'];
$cdate = $_POST['cdate'];
$notes = $_POST['notes'];
And here's my query:

Code:
// Add the info
$query = "INSERT INTO users (lastname, firstname, org, cdate, notes) VALUES ('$lastname', '$firstname', '$org', '$cdate', '$notes')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed');
Which as you can guess, doesn't work. :D I'm reading and googling, but right now I'm kind of stuck at this point and not sure what I'm missing. If anyone could enlighten me, I'd really appreciate it. :)

Replace the query line with this to see the error being generated:
Code:
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
Also, it is generally not a good idea to insert GPC data directly. See example 1396 on this page for how to escape data.

Aah, thanks. :D

That's the error I get with the actual output string. I'll definitely check that page out, right now I'm just trying to get the hang of things.

Edit: Woohoo! I got it! :D

That error is because I'm going by the O'Reilly book and was flushing privelages after the submit. Honestly I don't even know what it does (hehehe) so I dumped it and it works now. :)

Thank you very much! :)
