'database server at this time.</p>'; exit(); } //select database if (!@mysql_select_db('imagecon')) { exit('<p>Unable to locate the ' . 'database at this time.</p>'); } //Mysql query add joke if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $product = 1; $size = $_POST['size']; $color = $_POST['color']; $quan = $_POST['quantity']; $sql = "INSERT INTO order SET product ='$product', size='$size', color='$color', quantity = '$quan', date = CURDATE()"; }else{ echo 'No data submited'; } if (@mysql_query($sql)) { echo '<p>Your order has been submited.</p>'; } else { echo '<p>Error placing order: ' . mysql_error() .

PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/reserved-words.html order is a mysql reserved word. Change your column name to something else.
