".mysql_error()); echo $pmquery.'<br />'; $pmresult = mysql_query($pmquery) or die ("Error in query: $pmresult. ".mysql_error()); I must be making some sort of crazily obvious mistake, but it's driving me insane. what could possibly be wrong at (to, ?! table pm is id, to, from, contact, title, message, read, mpm, timestamp thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php_dave Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hey to and from are reserved words in mysql - change to: INSERT INTO pms (`to`, `from`, `contact`, `title`, `message`) VALUES ('7', 'asdf', 'asfd', 'sdf', 'asdf') this will get the query working but I would rename those fields to something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
