Hi all here is some code and i am just wondering why the sql for the Course table is not writing to the course table.

I have higlighted it red so you can easily see what i mean.

 

The sql code above it works very well , but for somereason it seems to be ignoring the code in red

???

This line here:

$course_details="INSERT INTO Course (Course_Name,Course_start_date,Course_end_date,Number_of_weeks)
VALUES
('$Course_name','$Course_start_date','$Course_end_date','$Number_of_weeks')";

doesn't actually do any mysql work. It just sets the string into that variable. This is the line that actually sends the string to mysql:

if (!mysql_query($student_details,$conn)) {
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "<h2>Thanks For submittiing the data to the us, we will be in-touch shortly</h2><br />";

as you can see, it sends the Student one, but not the course one. So, all you have to do is add some code directly after the above code. The final would look like:
