Will not insert info into db table

[Nothadoth]

Hey. I'm kind of new to php but I do know a bit.

I'm writing a news script for my site - based on the tutorial found on here.

It was all working fine but then I edite the error message part myself, and now when I submit news from the newnews.php file, it goes to the createnews.php, says it was successful but when I check the database, it has only submitted a row with blank values in the columns. Can someone tell me why?

newnews.php (Where I fill in the form with the information):
[code]if( !$userdata['user_level'] == 1 ) {
  
  if( $userdata['username'] == "") { $username = "Guest"; } else { $username = $userdata['username']; }
  
  print "Sorry ".$username.", you are not authorised to view this page.";
  } else {

print "<form method='POST' action='http://www.finalfantasyfan.net/createnews.php'>

// add slashes to the sent info so no escape characters are around (they'll possibly bust the script)
$newsresult = mysql_query("INSERT INTO news (title,category,smalltext,text,date_day,date_month,date_year) VALUES ('$title','$category','$smalltext','$text','$date_day','$date_month','$date_year')");

if( $newsresult == true ) { print "<center><font size='2' color='".$fontc1."><b>'News submitted sucessfully</b></font><br>

<a href='".$BASESIR."' style='text-decoration:none'>Return to the home page</a></center>"; } else { print "There was an error: Your news was not submitted."; }

Please DO NOT post the same question twice.

Which topic would you like deleted? That one or this?

Well, part of your problem is that your keep re-defining the value of $title and ignoring all the other posted data. Fix that and try again.

Sorry. The other one.

*shrug* Sorry about that. My apologise.
